BRADsTREETs REVIEW.

NEW YORK, Jan. 7.-Bradstreets tomorrow will say:
 The year opens with tone of quiet confi- dence pervading in nearly all branches of busi- ness. with encouraging activity in the iron trade, a resumption of work by many thous- ands of industrial employees in the Western glass industry largely reduced volume of business failures compared with correspond ing periods in preceding years and general outlook certainly not inferior to any previous year at this time. Distributive trade has nat urally been rather slow, pending stock taking and the return of salesmen to the field. Indus trial activity is special feature. unconfined to any one section, but specially notable in the West. Resumption of work after the holidays has been generally encouragaing in that sec tion. Autumn weather in the Northwest checks distribution, but collections are reported good. Sales of Southern iron are large.
 Louisiana sugar crop returns have been very satisfactory. Nine-tenths of Floridas orange crop was gathered before the late freeze. and cotton is steady with good export demand Wool has opened up actively in some Eastern stimulated some demand. Naturally enough there was slight gain in the number of fail ures reported this week over last the total a heavy falling off from 1897. when the total was 4sS The total in this week of 1896, was 44s; in 1895. 40o. and in 1894 4Si thus showing falling off from this week in recent preceding years Of from one-quarter to one-third.
 Bank failures in 1897 followed the general tendency of business mortality in all other lines of business The reputation of the bank ing community for conservatism. however. is borne out by the relatively heavier falling off in the number of failures and the reduced vol ume of liabilities of banks and trust com panies compared with preceding years, than in ordinary commercial circles:
 The total number of failures of national, State savings and private banks and loan and trust companies in 1897 105, little more than half those of 1896 and less than one-fifth those of the panic year. 1898. Liabilities also showed heavy falling off, being 60 per cent smaller than in 1896 and 90 per cent smaller than 1893 The number and liabilities. how ever. were slightly larger than 1894 The per centage of assets to liabilities in 1897 was only .76, the smallest reported since Bradstreets record of bank suspensions was begun.
 There were fs business failures in the Domin- ion of Canada this week. against 22 last week and 65 in this week year ago
