80 as against 273 last week. 252 the pre-
ceding week and liz the cores bonding
week OF last year. Failures In Canada
also We're less. the number being 10 this
week as against 20 the week previous and
81 in the corresponding week Of last year.
Another encouraging and satisfactory
feature of the failure report is that only
&c of the weeks failures involved liabili-
ties Of 5000 OF more, against 81 last
week
The financial storm which broke in Oc-
tober, and which now seems weathered
as viewed by the returns for the first

Country Making Good Progress
in Accommodating Itself to
New Conditions.
WORE OPTIMISTIC TONE
No Large stocks on HIND to Embnr-
rass Business and Buying Power of
the Public IL GOOd-PrOspcct Of
Numerous Revisions in
General Prices.

New York. Nov. s.--Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Good progress has been made in ac-
commodating the country to the changed
financial conditions, this too. with strlk-
ingly little friction, considering the scar
city of currency and the widespread sub
stitution OF credit instruments for actual
cash. At the same time wholesale and
jobbinG trade has Quetcd down per-
ceptiby, and the disposition in industrial
lines has been to curtail production
wherever possible tho aim being to avert
unnecessary or possibly burdensome ac-
cumulatons Of stocks.
There is. In fact. rather moro optimistic
tone prevailing Ahis week than last. the
outgrowth of the better condition at the
East, the large arrivals Of gold from
Europe and the idea that basic condi-
tions, both as regards the purchasing
power of the people and the absence of
large stocks. arc better than in some
preceding years Of stress. There are
increasing evidences that the level of
commodity prices has been forced I'M
reasonably high and that the process Of
reimbursement will compel numerous
revsons
