R.G.Dun& Co.'S Review, in Saturdays
issue, says: 'No correct report of
failures IN 1899 can be made until the
year has closed. A collapse of specula-
tion in copper stocks has swallowed the
aggregate at Boston alone over S1s, 600, :
QUO within few days, and might yet
add to the record. The failures thus
far reported are fewer in number than
In any year since 1883. and smaller in
amount of commercial liabilities than
in any year since 1881. The aggregate
of defaulted liabilities is sl2O, l6O, 600,
but nearly two-thirds of the banking
Liabilities were added within few
days, the aggregate reaching about
S30, 300, GOO The commercial liabilities
have been about $50, 260, 600, though
exact returns for few recent failures
are not yet obtainable. In no other
years, except 1881, with defaulted
Liabilities Of sS1. 1855, 932. and 1880, with
500, 752, 900, have failures been az small
since the agency commenced quarterly
returns, 1875. Tho average of liabili-
ties per failure is less than 50. 800, the
smallest in any year of the twenty-five,
a gratifying evidence that commercial
liabilities are further removed than
usual from the point of danger. -
Bradstreet's says that trade reports
from the South are generally good, At
lanta reporting specially good past
trade, and collections are as a rule good
in this section. New Orleans expects
a. heavy business in spring goods after
the turn of the year. At the East dry
goods are in good demand at New York,
clothing manufacturers are we'll pleased
with the years results, and building
preparations are specially active,
although some Of this is explained by
coming change in the law. PhiIadel-
phia textile manufacturers are busy
except in the upholstery line, where a
strike still exists. 1t has been a very
good year in lumber, and production is
still behind orders. AT Boston business
is quiet but steady, and the strength of
textiles is specially notable. Wool is
quiet, with the smallest weeks sales
noted for months past, but prices are
firm and further advance is talked
of after the first Of the new year,
