LAST YEARS REVIEW OF TRAD
According TO the Report of the Mcr-
camille Agencies the New Year Is
Full of Promise To Business Men
Wheat Exports.

New York, Jan. l.-Bradstreets saws
Following a series of years of alternat-
panic, stagnation, and slow and even pain
full revival, 1897 presented a large volume
of business, done as whole at price,
which, while not altogether satisfactory
resulted in total of trade larger than in
any previous year since 1892. Tariff
changes restricted demand but encoura ged
speculation and heavy imports in the first
part of 1897 while the enlarged foreign
demand for American breadstuffs and for
some varieties of manufactured articles.
bettered the condition of the American
farmer, and therefore, business men quite
materially in the latter part of the year
Price conditions have not favored the
southern producer of cotton nor the north
ern manufacturer of cotton goods. The
best reports come from the west, north
west and Pacific coast. Prices at the close
are as whole on higher range than at
the opening, advances being made numer-
GUS in food products, raw silk and wool.
while decreases are reported in raw cot
ton and cotton goods, nearly all metals,
anthracite coal and petroleum. Railroad
interests share in the revival of prosper
ity, with gross and net earnings larger
than any year since 1898, and the year
1898 opens with the business community.
with the few exceptions noted, in a cheer
full frame of mind
heavy falling off in number and in
liabilities of individuals firms or corpora
tions failing was shown in 1897 from 1896
and the four preceding years. The total
number of failures reported to Bradstreet $
Tor the year just closed was 1909, de-
crease of 1000 failures and over Is per
cent from 1896, falling off of 10 per cent
from the panic year of 1893, and de-
crease of more than per cent from 1891
year of prosperous business, but of nu-
merous embarassments. Compared with
1895 there was gain in the numbers
shown of about one-half of l per cent,
while compared with 1892 there was an
increase of 81 per cent.
Liabilities of those failing constituted
one of the smallest totals of recent years,
amounting to only $l56l66,0OO, de-
crease of 81 per cent from 1896, of 60 per
cent from 1898, and of 10 per cent from
1891, but gain of AZ per cent over 1892
The least favorable showing is made by
the western states, which report increases
in number and liabilities over 1896. In
spite of depression in cotton prices, south
ern failures and liabilities are smaller than
a year ago. While the greatest falling of
is reported in the west and northwest, the
nprcpntaop of assptS to liabilities of those
failing in 1897 was 54.4 per cent, the
smallest percentage since 1893, and only
slightly above the normal. The CONNER
cial death rate-that is, the percentage OF
those in business failing in 1897, was 2
as compared with IA in 1896 and l,6 in
1909
