contain. The most interesting items
being the following:
Failures for 1894 are fully reported
this week, being 1885 in the United
States and 1856 in the Dominion Of
Canada. Liabilities in the United States
were Sl72 922 856 and In Canada $l7,-
6l6,2l5. Neither the decrease OF over
half IN this country nor the increase Of
over 40 per cent in Canada is surprising,
but the statement shows that most Of
the decrease In the United States was in
manufacturing liabilities, while the en-
tire increase in Canada is in liabilities
Of trading concerns.
A few states, including New York and
Pennsylvania, show more failures than
in 1893, and in q few Southern states
the liabilities are larger, but in Central
and Western states very much smaller.
In eleven Of the last thirty, eight years
reported liabilities have been larger than
in 1894, though for this year and 1893
the statement is confined TO commercial
failures as it was not in former years.
The failures have been 125 in every 1000
firms doing business; the liabilities have
averaged Sl32 " to each firm in trade
and in proportion to the volume OF sol
vent business reported by all clearing
house exchanges 50 63 for every $1,000.
The complete review OF different
branches Of business places in q clear
light the fact that prices Of commodities
are at the lowest level ever known.
Eight years ago in July prices averaged
only 1859 per cent. Of the prices brought
for the same articles and in the same
markets on January l, 1860; and this re-
msined the lowest point ever touched
until August 10, 1893, when the average
fell to 1916. But early this year prices
dropped below the previous records and
have never recovered, the average price
on December 26 being only 6873 per
cent. Of the prices in 1860.
The fall since a year ago has been 515
per cent, but very unequal in difsrenE
branches. In iron and steel products
IA per cent in wool 1874 per cent; in
Woolens and cottOns ABOUT l5 per cent.
These changes contrast sharply with the
decline in wages paid per hours worked,
which average only IL per cent. less
than year ago.
The condition OF industries has been
largely governed by the fall in prices
and while production is much greater
than q year ago, the aggregate increase
being fairly measured by the increase
Of 924 per cent in the hours OF work
done in November compared with the
previous year, 1t has been the control

The general expectation is growing that
