FAILURES WE'RE
 MORE NUMEROUS
The Liabilities in 1900 Also
 Show a Slight Increase
NEW VENTURES IN BUSINESS
Bradstreet Says the Showing Cannot be Cited as Unfavorable Symptom on Account of Trade Expansion.
 Encouraging Experiments.

New York, January 3.-Failures in 1900 were slightly more hume sis thetn in the preceding year, and the liabilities also showed slight increase This, however, says Bradstreet's. will hardly be cited as an unfavorable symptom if it is remem- bered 6hat the expanding trade of that year and of the year before was instru- mental in inducing large number of new ventures in business, and therefore to this extent rendering greater liability to busi- ness embarrassment. The last year of the century. however, was notable for showing the smallest percentage of assets to habil- itGes-in other words salvage-that there is a record of for fifteen years past. but on the other hand the percentage of those in business falling owing to the general pusi- ness community was no larger than in 1899, and, therefore, was equal to the lowest per centage shown for IS years past.
 There were 9913 failures, with liabilities of $127,1S4,705 and assets of s60 119,S95 report ed to Bradstreet in 1900, a gain of 2.S per cent an number over 1899, and an increase of per cent or about twice the former per centage in liabilities, but assets only equalled those of the preceding year. With the exception of 1899 the failures were the smallest in number since 1887. being nearly 15 per cent fewer than in 1898, 24 per cent smaller than In 1897, 34 per cent smaller than In 1S96 and 36 per cent smaller than in the panic year 1893. The liabilities were the smallest with one exception since 1892.
 The gains in numbers at the south is per cent, and in the west it is per cent. The falling off in bhe territories of 45 per cent is a remarkable one,
 As regards liabilities the heaviest gain is in the northwest-eS per cent-while the middle states gain 45 per cent. the south ern states 3S per cent and the western states only 1.3 per cent.
