which issues tomorrow will say:
The commercial failures during the
complete year 1895, number l3.t97,
against 1855 in 1894, but the aggregate
liabilities Is slightly greater, $l73, 1885,
900, against SIZE, ,992, $685. so that the aver

In 1894. The bright promise offered by
a large decrease in the first quarter was
followed, by small increase in the Sec
ond md third quarters and large In
crease in the last quarter OF the year.
In that quarter also the deferred liabili-
ties to each firm in business increased,
and also the proportion OF deferred la
bIlities to payments through clearing
houses.
Remarkable contrasts are shown this
week In prices OF materials and OF man
ufactured products. Compared with
January l. 1895, prices OF manufactured
products and materials rose-for pig
iron 761 per cent at the highest point,
but only 81 Rt the close. while manufac-
lures OF iron rose 53.7 at the highest
point and 1856 Mt the close, anthracite
coal rising l5,3, but closing sc per cent

The produce markets have been the
theatre OF surprising Changes which
have Influenced all business. The acre
age In cotton was wisely restricted, in
order 10 give producers n better chance

ther reduced to some extent by injury,
but growers were injured still more by
frantic speculation. which checked cX-
ports, and by false Information and nd
vice. Wheat producers suffered in like
manner from Wild speculation. which
prevented the exporting OF many mill
ion bushels, and false reports which en-
eouragca the farmers 20 keep back their

able consequence has been n very low

in excess of NIL demands. while Atlantic
