There is 6,657 commercial failures in

first half of 1894. and 6,4Ol in the first

ures involved liabilities of SIS, ,SS9, ,944

and $l6S, ,S64, ,444 In 1898.
The midsummer reports from all
commercial centers are Of especial in

dictate distinctly better crop prospects
than other official or commercial ac-
counts a marked increase in retail dis
tributon of products, and active de-
mand for goods, and a general enlarge
ment Of the working force, with some
advance in the wages of more than
half million hands. At the same time
they show that the rapid advance in
prices has somewhat checked buying
Of few classes of products. In every
part Of the country the outlook for fall
trade Is considered bright.
Nothing disturbs the money market,
the government begins the new fiscal
year with more than the required gold
reserve. and the disbursement of near
