Business failures were on a de-

streets. There were fewer reported
than in either 1915 or 1910, the vol.
ume OF liabilities was greatly re-
dnced "a compared with all recent
previous years. and large disasters
were conspicuous by their rarity.
The financial community making en-
especially good exhibit as com

All these things considered. there

AT the ascertained results. the fact
still remains that. considering the
widespread prosperity ruling In
1915. An even greater decline might
have been expected from the very
large totals OF the previous two
scsrs. and possibly from the rather
large totals OF the years preceding
tie outbreak Of the European war.

study along these lines reveals the
