DUN'S REVIEW

New York, July 7.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S. weekly review of trade will say tomorrow:
 Failures of the first half of 1899 with banking and financial included, as in all other accounts published, were 4,S64, with liabilities si9,664661.
 Commercial failures were 1853 with ia- biities of s42O62, ,9SS, of which $l6, 72S55s were manufacturing and 1923 1864 were trading. In the second quarter failures were the smallest ever reported in that quarter of twenty-five years for which quarterly re- ports have been made by this agency. The average per failure, 7,165, Is the smallest ever known in any quarter; the average per firm in business $1220 and the ratio of defaulted liabilities to solvent exchanges 62 cents per $l,OO0 are both the smallest ever known in any quarter. In ten out of four teen branches of manufacturing failures were smaller than in the same quarter of four of the previous years and in thirteen out of branches. The larger failures for s100,0O0 or more were only two in trading for $224, ,0SS less than tenth of the smallest previous year, and only fourteen in all for S2,417, 1S0 from fifth to tenth of previous years. Te decrease in small failures Is worth especial study.
 Wheat declined $ of cent, exports being but 2,250021 bushels for the week, four in- cluded, against 2,643,129 last year, for both coasts, although western receipts were S,s6l ,523 bushels against 61S,4 ,492 last year. If the farmers actually carried over 65000,0O0 bushels or more than year ago, after SIPS to s2 per bushel had been paid at Chicago for some months as one farming journal estimates they need the education which they are getting, but the claim still en- tirely fails to account for their liberal spill ing this year at lower prices.

 Elected President

Warm Springs, Ga., July 1.-The Geor- gia Bar association adjourned sine die this evening after electing Hon. J. R. Lamar of Augusta, president, and listening to an address by Hon. w. l.. Wilson, president of the Washington and Lee university, of Virginia.
 President Wilson took as his subject the increasing difficulties of democratic govern ment as they have developed and are de- veloping in the experiences of the American people. The developments since the days of federal adoption of the constitution and the change in conditions that have come with the growth of the country were pointed out, these changed conditions being new problems that must be met and the duties of the legal profession acting through the great independent branch of the government the federal judiciary and also denominating to a great extent, the other two coordinate benches of the gov- ernment were pointed out. Mr. Wilson led up to the question of industrial monopolies. The difference in conditions he thought would bring the supreme test of the or ganic law and under such circumstances the part of the legal fraternity is solving the problems would be most important.
