Among the most interesting institu-

In 1894 there were in the United
States 12, 731 mercantile failures. The
number increased last year to 1908,
% per cent. more than the number
for the previous year. The per cent.
of failures during 1895 was 1923 as
compared with 1.21 for 1894 and 1.50
for 1898. The percentage of assets
was ffty-fve in 1895, as against fifty.
three per cent. in 1894 and sixty-fve
in 1898. Bradstreet's, commenting
on these figures, says that the ''in.
crease in business failures in 1895 con.
trasted with 1894 amounts to only
292, for which gains the Western,
Northwestern and Middle States are
responsible, they having been respec-

1t will be seen from the figures given

that the number of failures in the

number for 1894. The increase in the
number for the whole country was
292, but the increase in the Northern
and Western States was 472. There.

"The Democratic Commissioner of

"During the administration of
Garfield and Arthur, preceding the

built in the United States amount to
1,053,672. During Mr.. Cleveland's

built aggregated but 623,046 tons, a
decrease of Al per cent. During the

United States rose again to 1894

of construction over that built under

built in the United States aggregated
