IN A BLAZE OF GLORY
From a Commercial Standpoint the
Old Year Departs.

New York, Jan. 1.-R. G. Dun & Cos,
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Failures for the year which closed
last night have been smaller than in
any other year since 1892, in number
smaller than in any year except 1895,
and in average liabilities per failure
smaller than in any other year during
the last tWenty-three, except four. The
aggregate of all failures, commercial
and banking, was $3.50, 100000 of which
$25, 800 600 was in banking.
In Is, $50 commercial failures the
amount of liabilities was 1854, 500, 900, of
which $69 0O0, 600 was in manufacturing
and $73, 700, 00O in trading with So, 100, 600
in brokerage and other commercial
lines.
After a whole year of entire freedom
from disturbance or alarm, in which
the country had paid heavy foreign
indebtedness, taken and paid many mil
lions for stocks sent from abroad and
accumulated credits against other cred
its represented by merchandise balan-
ces, more than 1920, 600 600 in its favor
for the past five months, with deferred
exchanges for more than $40, 000, 900
held by New York banks alone, while
the great industries have been pushing
their way into foreign markets with
unprecedented success, the monetary
situation is no longer a matter of anX-
lety. More than half a million men in
a few states, according to official re-
ports, are employed now who were idle
a year ago. and the general advance in
wages for those employed has gone far
to restore the rates prevailing before
the panic. The volume of business
through clearing houses for the week
1926 Per cent larger than in 1892, has
for the month been 0.3 per cent larger
than that year and in many industries
and branches Of business the latter
months of this year have surpassed all
records.
After the great excitement at Chi
cago wheat still goes out of the cOun-
try as largely as before. Atlantic
ports $3.50. 1913 bushels, flour included.
against 1.542, $40 last year, and from
Pacific ports /. 712, 625 bushels.
In four weeks the Atlantic exports
-four included, have been 1900. O47
bushels, against $500 161 last year
Heavy western receipts are only re-
fiecting temporary conditions in the
Chicago market. But extraordinary
exports of corn, Ia, 4O4, sos bushels,
against 9,444, 853 bushels in the four
weeks last year, show how sorely for
eign markets are pushed by the in
creasing demand for bread stuffs.
Wheat has declined Is of a cent with
the Chicago market, and corn has
meanwhile advanced q of a cent
Failures for the week have been 395
in the United States, against 439 last
year, and q in Canada, against 80 last

NEW YEARS CALLERS.
More Parties Out Today Than Ever
Before in This City.

The day of the cumbersome New
Year calling card is evidently over. c.
P. Adams, of the firm of Adam Bros,
says that nearly all the orders this
year have been for smaller cards with

COOKS DEPUTIES.
All but Two We're Named in the Jour

Late Friday afternoon Porter S. Cook
announced his office force, which is as
follows:
Joseph Hanna, w. H. Williams. Carl
Lawson, Frank Beach and S. w. Pasker
All but two of these men were included
in the Journals forecast several days
ago.
The appointments are generally regard
ed as good ones. Mr.. Hanna is a farmer
living in WilliamspOrt township who has
a good record for honesty W H. Will

was an excellent officer. He is now as

estate business. Lawson is employed at
the Santa Fe shops. He has been a guard
at the penitentiary and received excellent
Endorsements. Beach and Pas1er are col
Ored men, They are said to be sober and
reliable
A peculiar thing about the appointments
is that they do not include the name of
Fletcher Helm of Silver Lake Helm has
been slated for a place in the office from
the first and he was Endorsed by the Re
publican central committee but Mr.. Cook
refused to appoint him. His connection
with the famous Kepley beer letter did
not reflect much credit upon him. and Mr..
Cook did not feel justified in giving him
a place in the office.
There is one less deputy than it was
supposed would be appointed but Mr..
Cook says that he intends to fill one of
the places himself, and he will be assisted
by his son when necessary.
Mr.. Cook says that he has not yet made
up his mind whether he will remove to
the sherfff's residence at the county jail
or not. He seems still uncertain about
the threatened quo warranto proceedings
1t is probable that Ferry & DOran will
be Mr.. Cooks attorneys during his term
of office.

RESUMED FUTURE TRADING
Transactions Begin in Kansas City
After a Fifteen-Year Lapse.

Kansas City Jan. 1.-The Kansas
City board of trade has decided by a
unanimous vote to re-estabish future
trading here. There have been only a
few transactions, and there will be but
few until necessary arrangements have
been completed with the elevators.
Future trading in Kansas City was
abandoned about Is years ago, when
the Santa Fe began to work in the in
terests Of Chicago and the Missouri Pa
cific in the interests of St. Louis The
re-establishment is due to the opening
of the Pittsburg and Gulf to Port
Arthur and the rapidly growing move
ment of grain to gulf points through
Kansas.
The contract grades of wheat are No.
. hard winter and No. 2 red winter, of
not less than SO pounds weight.
