Enormous Damage Wrought
by the Late Gale.

LONDON, Dec. 3l.-The British bark
Oseo was wrecked in gale at IIolly-
head, early Sunday morning. and with
her perished her entire crew of twenty
six men. The Oseo was driven ashore
back of the Iiolyhead break water. Her
signals of distress were first heard by
the coast guard at 4 o'clock in the
morning. At that time it was pitch
dark. and great waves were waching
the breakwater. In spite of the danger
of being washed into the sea. the
guard proceeded along the brcaliwater,
and. having rugged up the rocket
apparatus, began firing life line in the
direction of the wreck. The faint
fact that the vessel had broken in two
amidships and that the main mast had
fallen. crushing the lives out of several
of the crew. A few survivors could be
seen clinging to each half of the vessel.
and their piteous cries for help could
be heard above the roar of the ocean.
After many failures the coast guard
succeeded in firing line over the wreck,
but by that time all on board had per.
ished. A lifeboat vainly tried again
and again to reach the wreck. Not a
vestige of the bark could be seen Sun.

New YORK, Dec. 20.-R. G. Dun e.
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Commercial failures in 1894 already
reported to X. g. Dun & Co. number
IA, 420. against 15,462 last year, with
liabilities of s163, .4O4, against $780,
770, $50 last year. The final report for
1894 will probly include about 400 fail
ures, with liabilities of about 81, ,OOO, 900.
The trading failures already number
1l,3l4, against 1,512 last year, but liza
bilities are only Ss7, ,s99, ,O57, against
$3.50. 1893 last year. The statement
by sections shows decrease of about
two-thirds in default of liabilities in
the middle and central northern states.
one-half in the west and southwest.
and a third in other sections.
Wages actually paid in November
are compared to-day with working
hours in establishments throughout
the country, and in about fifty branch
es of industry the average being 1864
hours per hand this year, 1854 last
year and o43o in 1892. The wages paid
per hour were 1.2 per cent less than
last year. AS the hands employed in
establishments reporting were s.5 per
cent. more than last year. but 49, .O2 per
cent. less than in 1892, the total wages
paid in these establishments in Novem-
Der was 1888 per cent. more than in
November. 1892. Thus the decrease in
purchasing power of the working force
| is found to be due mainly to the de-
crease in number of hands and hours
| of work. rather than to reductions
| paid per month.
''The earnings of all roads report
| ing for December are better than in
1893. and the easbound tonnage from
Chicago for three weeks has been 1885,
206, against al0,946 last year. But in
westbound tonnage. and on southern
lines, the comparison is more favorable.
| If affects important industries that
have taken 100000 tons of rails for re-
newals this year, against twice as
much ordinarily required.
Money is still coming to this city in
a steady stream. and exports of gold
for the week are expected to be about
81, 500, 900. The dissolution Of the bond
| syndicate on the ground that the pend
ing currency bill has destroyed the
market for bonds is the most important
event in financial circles. and is liable
to have results of some consequence.
| Failures in three weeks in Decem-
ber show liabilities of $40, ,937, of
which SO, $50, ,76O were manufacturing
and S6,751,419 of trading concerns.
Failures for the week have been $50 in
