OCTOBER FAILURES.
Large Total Due to Few Exceptional Dis
asters

CONNER cial fairules during October, ac-
cerding to reports to r. G. Dun & Co..
were S64 in number and tSl0,6S0.621 in
amount, against 7S2 last year for 900, i91.
More than half the detailed Indebtedness
this year is accounted for by twenty-five
large failures, and the average liability
of all other insolvencies was only 1881,
which is less than the average of small
failures in. the. corresponding month OF
any previous year since these records
were first compiled. Among manufac-
turers there was the failure of a light
and power company for $4,000, two in
number for S4oS.009, one in iron for $780,
Gee. d car works for vl6S,COO. a mason for
s31s 0CO, two in leather for s3S1.00..O, one in
brewing for $4,000, a lamp manufacture
er for $4,000, and one in shirts for $3.50,
600. Special causes must have contributed
to the downfall of these concerns, as it
is well known that building operations
have been most actively prosecuted. iron
and steel manufacturing nothing less
than phenomenal. and footwear shops
ever before experienced such deluse of
orders. Outside these few instances. the
table by branches of business makes d
good showing, even in comparison with
years OF lightcst defaults. In woolens
and cottons there was practically no dis
turbance, and in Liquors. milling, printing
and chemicals the losses were trifling.
lIaQlnS 1dlluCC figures were similarly
distorted by few large defaults inciud-
ing a lumber dealer for 100000 and one
in liquors for S240.000, A Cattle deoler for
90GO, a coffee house for SlI5,0C0 and a
failure in hides for $1O0, 900, were PROBABLY
all due to speculative operations in those
staple products III hardware. cement
and pianos there were three suspensions
agsregating s560.000. DeductinS these
few large defaults. the trading average
fell to S4I96, which is a better showing
than last Octobcr's by S1,Si1, and but q
trifle above the banner year-1S99. Even
including the few large failures, total
years. and this is surprising because the
after effects of the drnuth and the strike,
as we'll as the lateness of the cotton crop,
were all calculated to swell insolvencies.
In the third class, covering brokers,
transporters, etc., there IS included a
grain handler at the West for SSnQ000. a
cotton factor and a cattle commission
man at the South for about Slt0Go0 each
two real estate dealers for s27Q, 900, and
a physician for S150,0GO These disasters
account for most of the total in this
class. which was much larger than IN
1900 but little more than in 1899. and on
a par with the two earlier years. Bank
ruptcies in this class are not far-reach-
ing in their effect, as a rule. seldom In
yolvinS many concerns in regular bust
ness channels. Banking defaults mum

SOUTH BOSTON, VA, November Il
of October probably
surpassed any other October in the his
tory OF the tobacco market in South Bos-
ton, there being full sales every day and
the sales being blocked probably one
third Of the time. The farmers are mar,
keting their tobacco earlier this year
than they have ever done before, and
while the quality is not particularly good,
yet the prices are extremely high and
very satisfactory. 1t is probable that the
crop of this year will fall little short OF
the usual crop. but the difference will be
more than made up in price. The selling
OF SO much tobacco in the month of Octo-
Der has given a great stimulus to bust
ness and the retail merchants report un-
usually large sales, while the different
manufacturing plants are running on full
time.
