FAILURE STATISTICS.

Dun's quarterly review of April 18th
cpnta!ns n table of failure statistics by
branches of business. feature never be-
fore presented. Ii is asserted that by
this showing the relative effect of exist
ing conditions upon the different in
dustries, and the different branches of
business can be compared. and with the
aid of records for the same month of
previous years the effect of all changes
IN conditions upon zach industry and
branch. The striking feature of the
statement Is the comparative constancy
of the ratio of failures in most branches
of business to the whole number of firms
in business.
In ten of the fourteen branches of
trade this ratio has not varied for three
years more than n tenth of l per cent,
in two others only two-tentns. and in
one other three-teuths of psr cent. In
six of the fourteen manufacturing classes
she variation for three years has been no
greater than a tenth of l per cent, In
one other only two-tenths. and in two
others. woolens and clothing, only three
tenths, while in all the remaining classes
the wider variations have resulted from
thd material recovery after the serious
disasters of 1S93-'9i. SOM: what wider
variations appear in the ratio of default
ed liabilities to solvent business in the
different branches.
