comparison shows that 1892 had
less failures and more liabilities than
last year, but 1893, 1894, 1895, and
1896, show more failures and more
liaDilities. So that the statement of
Dun's Review that, ''in failures 1897
was not only the best year aimee 1892
but on the whole the best ever definitely
known" applies 10 some respects, at
least to the Peninsula.
Delaware had 81 failures in 1892, 80
in 1888 81 iu 1894, Go in 1895 and "a
in 1896. In 1888. although the failures
were less the liabilities were larger
than for last year. And last year shows
only about one.third the amount in.
volved as compared with 1886.
The Maryland counties had 80
failures in 1892, 45 in 1893. 48 in
1894, y in 1895. IS in 1896. and 2S in
1897. The Virginia counties had eight
failures in 1892, in 1893, 8 in 1891,
IL in 1895, s in 1886, and only in
1897. One cause of the email number
of failures in Virginia last year is
traced to the satisfactory returns
from the potato crop.
