BUSINESS FAILURES IN 1908

Bradstreet's statistics of business
failures during 1903 confirm the i'm
preston which all other reliable data
give of the Industrial prosperity in
the United States They show a
smaller percentage of failures than
during any other year since 1887, ex-
cept only 1899. The pe,centag" is
only a shade over that of 1899.
The great industrial reaction, ac-
centuated by Barring Brothers failure
in 1899, world wide IN its occasion
and ultimate effects, became ally
effective In this country by 1891,
and thence till 1867 the annual
wreckage strewn upon the shores of
commerce was frightful. 1t took that
long, dark period to liquidate failed
undertakings and to readjust bust
ness and industry upon a safer and
more rational basis than thai which
had eliminated in universal depres-
sion.
From 1867 till the present the
Industrial world quite generally and
the United States for many reasons
especially. have experienced extraordi-
nary prosperity. With us there eff
fective in this country by 1891, activity,
30 prodigious indeed as naturally to ex-
cite apprehensions lest 1t might not last
longer. Such apprehensions were nat
urally deepened during the last year by
the excessive speculation marked in
trust and merger fiotations.
1t appears. however, that the climax
therein was reached and passed with
out gravely affecting the basis of BUSH
ness and Industrial life. The reliable
record of business failures for 1903 is a
highly reassuring fact. 1t corroborates

feet court makes a perfect player, and
nothing affects the pleasure of the exer-
else so much as crooked walls and an
unbalanced floor. AS a rule, however,
the courts that have been erected in
this country of late years answer the
purpose fairly well, although the ex-
penditure of little more money would
nave produced much better building.
While the game may be played on a
court Of any size 1t Is perhaps better
to state what should as near as possible
constitute regulation court. 1t should
be sixty feet long, twenty -four and one
half feet wide and thirty feet high
in the front, tapering down to thirty
three feet at the back wall. A brick
wall about twelve inches in thickness
and faced with marble makes the best
front wall. Cement side walls are to
be desired. The floor should be white
pine boards. laid on beams ten inches
apart, the back wall to be twelve
feet high and of wood, back of which
should be a gallery of about 200 seat
ing capacity. -
