statement of failures by branches Of bust
ness cannot be made until next week, it
seems well to say that in four weeks fail
ures have been reported amounting to
$6S4S, $50. against $S,110,475 in the same
weeks Of last year, 81, 1875 IN 1897 and
over $12,000,000 in 1886 and also in 1855. Yet
the volume OF solvent trade represented
by exchanges at the principal clearing
houses has been for the month 22,5 per
cent greater than last year and 46 per
cent greater than In go Thus the ratio
OF defaults to business payments was
S257 in $1,000 for November 1895, and
81 for 1896 and $2.15 for 1897 but $1.25
for 1898 and only so cents in $1,000 for 1859.
In many lines the volume of business has
been larger than in October, notwith-
standing the extraordinary food Of buy
ing ever since the beginning of last
March.
The cotton movement has not changed
much, but prices gained a sixteenth for
the week closing at 7S1 cents, against
5.62 last year. The larger takings Of spin
ners and the great demand for goods
have materially helped the rise. Cotton
goods have remained strong, all coming
forward not under contract being snapped
up quickly, with contracts still unhlled
running into next year.
The iron manufacturer has to meet
greatly increased cost of material next
year
The shipments of boots and shoes In
four weeks have been $40, 307 cases-l4 per
cent larger than in 1897 and 90 per cent
larger than in 1S94-eXceeding those of
other years even more. But new bust
ness. although considerable in quantity,
shows a marked decrease because of the
prolonged rise in prices, even though that
rise has been relatively less than the
advance in leather. which still continues,
or in hides, which has apparently been
checked again.

Dominican Affairs.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l. - Instructions
have been sent to Minister Powell, at
Pert au Prince, directing him to proceed
to Santo Domingo and make an inVestiga
ton to determine the stability Of the
Jiminez government. The minister Will
also make representations to Gen. Jimi-
nez to ascertain his intentions with re-
spect to the continuance of the conces-
sions made by the late Heureaux gov
eminent to the American syndicate which
controlled the finances of the island and
to other Americans. Unless such con-
cessions are recognized it is extremely
doubtful that this government will rec
ognize President Jiminez's admlnistra
ton. The authorities are determined that
the change in government in Santo Do
mingo shall not prejudice American con-
cessions, and it is in pursuance of this
determination that Minister Powell has
received the representations indicated.
It is expected the moral effect Of the rep
reservations will be sufficient.
