The number Of business failures in the
District of Columbia for the half year just
closed was II and the total liabilities
t234.995. This record is relatively a small
one compared with some previous years,
but IL is large compared with the same
period last year. In the six months from
January TO July. 1898. there was but one
failure in the District with tota. liabilities
of only 81 SOC. Financial and business men
are not in the least inclined to consider
this increase in failures a menace to the
business prosperity Of the District. II
represents clearly the sudden cessation Of
the speculative activity Of the beginning
Of the boom Of last year 1t is suggest ed
that after the period Of comparative quiet
OF the present season there is certain to
begin a return of activity, this time on a
more conservative and sounder basis.
These figures are taken from advanced
sheets of "Dun's Review" which tomOr-
row will say of the business failures
throughout the country:
Reports to r. G. Dun & Co. show COM
