New York, Aug. 6.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade tomorrow viii
say: Four years age, Aug. 5. 1898, the
first number of Dun's review was is
sued. with failures in that month
amounting to over $50, OCT, 900, while
in the month just closed failures have
been only SILT, 727-the smallest in
any month since 1892. The statement
of failures by classes of business for
July and for 46 months shows that in
manufacturing failures have been
smaller than in any other month of the
entire period: in trading, smaller than
in any other month except one, and in
many branches of each department
smaller than in most months of which
records exist. The pessimists who pro-
nounced reports of gain fictitious and
Misrepresentation, have grown weary
of their dismal views, and begin to see
the dawn of better days. Last month
was the first for four years of which
the volume of business reported by
clearing houses was larger than in the
same month of 1892, and the telegraphic
dispatches from all parts of the coun-
try for this week show a gratifying
Improvement.
