Failures in August.

august failures increased 81 per cent
aver July and SIS per cent over August in
~, according TO Bradstreet. With the
.,.,ption Of June and July, however, the
,ur,st mortality was smaller than in any
,r.ceding month this year. That IT was a
mi total for a midsummer month. never
,h.l.ss, is shown by the fact that the
,rrher for August this year exceeded
,,v preceding August since 1895, there
hing s per cent more failures than in
august 1905, and the excess over August.
M was 70 per cent. The liabilities or
tsose falling aggregated 23,o22,0ls. de-
,rsase Of 40 per cent from July. whose
,o.al was swelled by large bank suspen-
ions. but an increase of IS per cent over
august a year ago. though smaller than
" August. 1903, by es per cent. The great
majority OF the failures were small ones.
As NAV be gathered from the fact that
sne fifteen failures account for nearly
hslf of the entire months liabilities. For
s.eht months of this year failures are
few less than for the like period year
ago. but the liabilities are considerably
larger. though the entire excess over last
year can be accounted for by one large
hank suspension in July.

assistant to Attorney General Nc
REYNOLDS. to-day informed the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association Of Balti-
more which recently charged the New
York. New Haven & Hartford and Penn
sylvania railroads and their allied water
lines with violations OF the Sherman anti
trust law, that the Department OF Justice
is already conducting an extensive inves-
tigation of the New Haven system and
has asked the association for further In
formation about the Pennsylvania.
officials Of the department say the es-
sence Of the complaint seems to be against
the New Haven, which, with the Pennsyl-
vania, is charged with suppressing COM
petition between Boston, Providence. New
York, Philadelphia and Baltimore
Charges against the Pennsylvania deal
largely with water lines in Delaware
Maryland. Virginia and the District OF
Columbia, and the government attorneys
are unable TO see how that affects trans
pcrtation between Baltimore and the
north.
Mr.. Todd also called to the association
attention that Congress. by the Panama
Canal act. had extended the powers Of the
Interstate Commerce Commission over
water lines controlled by railroads.

CURTA|LMENT IN 1918
Record of Dividends Passed or
Reduced This Year.

Companies that have passed or reduced
their dividends to date during the current
year make an imposing list, included In
which are many corporations that had
maintained their former rate OF payment
to stockholders for a long period OF years.
The records show that five railroads.
fifteen industrials and one OF the more
important mining companies passed their
dividends altogether, and that five rail-
roads. one Industrial and seven mining
companies reduced their rates, making a
total of thrty-four companies that were
forced to curtail payments TO stockholm
sys. To this list could be added several
other companies OF minor Importance
say Dow. Jones e. Co.
Increases, on the other hand, except IN
the case of public utilities companies
have been few and far between. Prac-
tically no Increases of Importance were
registered by the railroads. few Indus
trials increased their rate e. e., American
Tobacco. Mexican Petroleum. Guggenhetm
Exploration, United States Rubber ana
Colorado Fuel and Iron preferred. but
other advances were practically limited 10
the public utility companies. Among
these were Brooklyn Rapid Transit and
Detroit United.
The following table gives a list OF the
companies that passed or reduced their
dividend in the current year, together
with their outstanding capital stock and
present and former dividend rate:
