1t would be a mistake. however, to
consider this increase in failures as evil
dence that the last year was one of
unusual disaster in business or that the
new century was beginning with unsound
conditions. On the contrary, these figures
appear most encouraging when viewed
in the light Of history. 1t must be
remembered that 1899 was phenomenally
free from failures, partially because of
general prosperity, but more on account
of an upward movement of prices that
brought big profits during the ascent.
This fundamentally dangerous condition
of affairs made failures smaller than in
any year since 1881 while the liabilities

liabilities in 1896 reach the enormous to-

OF 1850 failures decreased materially. and
conditions prevailing at the close Were
most satisfactory. With the exception Of

favorably with every year since 1882, and
considering the fact that MANY OF the
