.DUN,s REVIEW.

NEW YORK. Oct. 7.-Dun's Re
view says today:
Prosperous conditions in trade and
industry are reflected in statistics OF
failures, which show marked reduc-
ton from the high mortality OF 1915.
Strictly commercial insolvencies, as
distinguished from banking suspen-
sions and personal embarrassments,
numbered 1920 in the United States
during the nine months just ended
and involved 1854, 586,7O7 Of default
ed Indebtedness, against 1898 re-
verses last year, when the liabilities
reported to R. G. Dun and Company
were $241,464 $50. AS the number
of firms in business is steadily In
creasing, 1t is not surprising that
there were more defaults than in all
other years prior to 1915; yet the liza
bllities were the smallest for the
period since 1912 and were also less
than in 1908. Moreover. the record
for the third quarter shows a numer-
ical decrease OF 1882 and a contrac-
ton of about 1S,000,0 900 in amount
as compared with the first quarter
this year, and, as the latest returns
AFFORD the best indication OF present
conditions, 1t is gratifying that there
were fewer failures in September
than In any month in three years,
while the Indebtedness was the light
est since August. 1911.

FINANCIAL.

NEW YORK, Oct. THE rumor'
circulated late yesterday regarding
peace overtures by the Central Pow
ers last their effect in today'f
stock market.
The market experienced another
slight chill in the first OF today's two
hour session, but more than made up
any lost ground, closing with strong
undertone and numerous net adyanc-
es.
Much Of the heavy trading of the
first hour, in which some stocks re-
coded one to three points was attrlb-
uted to an eager short interest and
liquidation from interior points.
1t was regarded as significant that
rallies and actual gains were effected
on very moderate dealings as COM
pared with the heavy transactions
that accompanied the decline. Total
sales amounted to $4,000 shares.
General news Of the day in no way
detracted from the encouraging ad-
vices of the early week.
Trade reports were in line with
similar intelligence Of the past few
months. Superabundant prosperity
despite the shortage of crops and the
lack Of labor to hasten production.
Bank exchanges continue on phe.
nomenal scale, with exports of raw
and manufactured products making
greater strides.

The old prescription book, used at

served. On the page dated June ., 1855.
is written the original prescription for
Father Johns Medicine. This prescrip-
was compounded for the Reverend
Father John oBrien at the old 4g
store on that date. and was so success
full in treating Father Johns ailment,
which was a severe cold and throat
trouble, that he recommended the med-
cine to his friends and Pensioners. In
going tG the drug store and calling for
the medicine, they always asked for
Father Johns Medicine, and In this way
the medicine got Its name and was ad-
vertised. Father Johns Medicine is a

Dayville Owner Proud of Hen
With Long Record of Use
fulness Behind Her.

HARTFORD, Apal 26-Spanish Annie,
the grand old hen OF twenty mine years
duly authenticated), owned by Col
James Blanchard. OF Danville, Is quite
content to die because today she per-
formed what is probably her last labor
In this world. something beyond "Alh
the kings horses and all the kings
nen;" for she laid nice brown egg.
Spanish Annie. called because she Is
OF the black Spanish variety, hasn't laid
an egg In years. However, within a
year she got her name In the news
papers and her picture In many of them
when she Matched out a nne brood oil
chickens and was hailed as the world $
champion Biddy.
Colonel Blanchard, who is proud of his
femous hen, has discovered from his
poultry records that Spanish Annie was
matched July 4. 1881, and tor years con-
trinuted generously to the blanchard
daily egg supply Some years ago her
shiny jet black feathers began turning
white and her eggs were fewer. Then
she lost her quick, dashing gait, and at
pre- sent her feathers are notified gray.
spanish Annie made no particular
commotion after laying her egg today
but her happy owner arranged a special
feed for her.
