Gentlemen:-I hereby submit
my report on roads and bridges for
this quarter. Have inspected all
roads and find all second class In
good passable condition except
road from near Conn P. o. to A.
w. Mobiles place, which needs
work very badly. Most all of the
FIRST class roads are In good condi-
ton, but find some of the cul-
verts and low places in road, have
been neglected and are getting bad.
Would recommend paying all sec
end class contractors except A. w.
Noble, and pay FIRST class contract
or all but 10 per cent, and allow
him until Feb. Ist to get bis road
up to contract, otherwise the said
10 per cent to be placed as fine
against him for neglect and failure
to keep road up to contract. All
bridges seem to be good, but few
need flooring and contracts have
been let for same.

SIX MONTHS FAILURES
Statistics Compiled Show De.
crease in Number.

Commercial failures in the United
States during the first half of 1913, as re-
ported to r. G. Dun & Co, were S,leS In
number and Sl32. 9O906l in amount of de-
faulted Indebtedness. Numerically, this
represents a gratifying decrease from the
S,317 failures in the corresponding SIX
months last year. but, owing 10 several
insolvencies of exceptional size, the ag-
gregate liabilities rose 70 the highest
point since 1893 and compared with slOs,-
OPP in the same period of 1872. Sep
aration OF the statistics according 10 the
usual general classification shows that
there were 2049 suspensions to manufac-
turing lines for $50, 1913, 269; trading losses
numbered 5,7S3 and involved s6O.5S'12i,
while reverses among agents, brokers and
concerns OF a similar nature were SSl'
with debts of 1888. 06s. These figures
compare with 1925 manufacturing de-
faults for A5,l14l21 last year. 500 de-
faults in trading occupation for A9,5S5'ool
and 3l9 in other commercial branches, IN
volving 1895 sol. Thus, il appears that
the falling off in the number OF insolven-
ces was confined wholly 10 the trading
division, whereas the Indebtedness was
larger in all three classes-the difference
in both manufacturing and trading being
in excess of 100000. On the other hand,
the entire increase in the manufacturing
liabilities is accounted for by two suspen-
sions of abnormal size. while the trading
comparison loses much of its significance
when IL is considered that one failure
alone involved about 100000. Banking
failures during the first six months OF
1913 were 80 in number-the same as last
year-but the liabilities were much small
er-only S6,4l7372 against N7S33,2}5.
Failure statistics for the half year are
compared below for a series of years:
