II. G. Dun g. Co. S weekly review
of trade says:
Besides the SSl commercial fail
ures for S9,93l. .04S which we report
to-day, there were in February SIX
banking failures for S62J,l2l, aud
receivers were appointed for the
United States Flour Milling Com
pany, with Sc, 900, 900 Of stock and
SIS, 900, 900 of bonds authorized at
its organic alton asst April, and for
the Third Avenue Railroad Com
! pany after liens for several millions
had been placed upon the property.
Unless separated from such events
commercial failures could not be
compared with benefit. The man
utacturing failures for S4,257. .6SS
were larger than in February of
1898 or 1895, but more than half
the amount was in two classes,
tour large lumber and four large
clothing failures, making 80 per
cent. OF the whole. The trading
failures were larger than in Feb
ruary of last year only. but 20 per
cent. of these defaults were made
by five failures.
In most branches the comparison
with previous years is encouraging
and analysis brings out in strong
light the remarkably low average
of liabilities in the SIN aller failures,
which constitute the great majority
indicating sound business conditions
and unusually satisfactory collec-
tons. But neither in number nor in
amount do the failures compare
well with those Of other recent
months. e,.-
:, Tie rise Of cotton to 9.44 cents,
the highest point since February,
1893, has done much TO stimulate
business, drawing from southern
plantations and country towns more
than double the quantity marketed
last year, distributing millions to
producers whose purchases OF sup
plies are thus increased and SWELL
ing beyond all expectation the pur-
chases tor export.
THE Philadelphia Bulletin in
speaking OF the dodger nuisance
says:
"If 1t be the intention of Councils
to suppress the "dodger' nuisance
those bodies will promptly pass
remedial ordinance. While there
is much that could be said for and
against the pending measure, the
central fact Is that the distribution
OF "dodgers" has become an annoy
ance to householders and source
of uncleanliness on the municipal
highways.
Intentional violations or evasions
OF restrictive ordinances now on
the city's statute books contribute
largely to the present ground of
complaint against the careless dis
tribution OF advertising matter.
AS an example, distributors fire.
quently thrust dodgers and cir.
culars into the hands of pedestrl.
ans or throw them carelessly upon
doorsteps. There need be no iucli-
nation toward sumptuary legisla-
tion in the suppression OF this nuis-
ance. All that is needed is that
the people shall be protected against
an annoy ance which isycariy grow
ing in scope and in degree.
In the event Of the Senate seating
Matthew S. Quay as United States
Senator, the Plaindealer, published
at Harrington, says Governor
Tunnel will appoint Willard SauIs-
bury Of Wilmington. Mr.. Sauls-
bury, if it is to be Democrat to
represent Delaware, would reflect
as much credit on this State as any
other man. The name OF Sauls.
bury IS not a new one to the men
who have been IN the United States
Senate. But if Quay is seated, d
Senator appointed from Delaware
might not be.
