Comparative Statement of Failures
in the United States.
II. G.. Dun * Co.'S Weekly Review Of
Trade says:
Failures for 1894 are fully reported be-
ing Ii, $50 in the United States and 1,S06
in the Dominion of Canada. Liabilities
in the United States were 100, 500,
and in Canada $17,616,215. Neither the
decrease of over half in this country. nor
the increase of over 40 per cent. in Can
ada is surprising, but the statement shows
that most of the decrease in the United
States is in manufacturing liabilities,
" lille the entire increase in Canada is in
liabilities of trading concerns. A few
States, including New York and Pennsyl
vania, show more failures than in 1893,
and in few Southern States the amount
Of liabilities is larger, but in central and
western States, very much smaller. The
failures have been 12.5 in every thousand
firms doing business the liabilities have
averaged S132.17 10 each firm in trade.

business represented by all.clearing house

The Hudson River ice crop is now
ready TO harvest, and the quality was
never better. Cutting is already in prog
ress. The crop has matured month in
advance of last year. Only about 200,-
eco tons of the old crop is left over. The
full storage capacity of the river is now
about 100000 tons, no material in
crease having been made since last year
1t is estimated that nearly 10000 men
and boys and 1000 horses are employed
in the river ice harvest in the height of
the season. but with the improved mo-
chanical appliances now in use only
about fourteen working days are re
CURED To house the entire crop, and yet
the work is awaited with the greatcsr
anxiety by thousands Of men and their
needy families. The average cost Of
housing the crop is estimated ut about 20
cents per ton. The wages range from 81
