PACIFIC COAST STATE FAILURES
Exactly Same Number Occurred in
1907 as in 1906.

A remarkable coincidence appears
In a summary OF business failures
compiled by the Bradstreet company,
in that the number in the Pacific
states for 1907 and 1906 were exactly
the same-653. il is also noticeable
that the failures for those years were
considerably less than IN 1905 when
they numbered $50 or In 1904 when
there were 764.
Another striking feature OF the fail
ures In Pacific coast states last year
was that the assets and liabilities far
exceeded those OF the three preceding
years. The total assets Of failed con
Germs in 1907 amounted TO s~1e.977,337,
and the largest Of the three previous
years wal 1904 when the assets we're
s3,424,826. In liabilities a similar diff
ference is shown, those for 1907
amounting { s26,666.7Az and for 1904
to s5.307. 05S.
