Business Better than Last Year.

Last year, like all years since the re-
turn of the Republican party to power
In 1896, was counted most prosperous
one for the country. but in the indus
trial and commercial circles Of the
country the present year is being
counted still more prosperous. one
good evidence of this is found in the
report OF r C. Dun & Co. as to busi-
ness failures during the first nine
months of the year. Their figures
show that there were $500 commercial
failures with liabilities Of sii,350, o69 in
the first nine months Of 1905. against
91s3 inaolvencies with liabilities of $780,
"a ,02S in the corresponding months OF
1901. In only one year. 1899, out of the
past dozen have the liabilities of fall
ing concerns been 50 small for the hrs'
nine months Of the year as they nave
been for the first nine months Oh i'oo'
And this Il is TO be remembered J" III

crease in number being over II per
