countries i'll conjunction with copper,
lead. and other ores adds greatly to It's
cheapness of production. Edward
Atkinson, the statistician, presents hg-

from 10 down to 1919 cents per ounce,
and even less in some cases. In spite OF

That the year passed has been good
one from business standpoint is shown
by the figures on business failures as
compared with those of preceding years.
The tot Il number of failures of firms,
individuals, banks and other corpora

O99, or more than 600 less than in 1896,
or 1873 per cent. The decrease was 10
per cent from 1898, the panic year. and
