LONDON, Sept. 24.-The report of
the inspector general in bankruptcy
for the year ended December 81, 1914,
states that the number of failures in
England and Wales for the year
shows large falling off, being the
smallest since the bankruptcy act of
1888 came into operation, the decrease
being attributable to the war. Dur
ing the first seven months of the year
receiyership orders were made in 2167
cases and in the last fiye months only
500.
While the number of failures has
decreased the liabilities and assets
have substantially increased and the

nearly two millions sterling in excess
of the loss estimated in the preceding
