port Of failures in New England for the
first six months Of 1917 has just been
issued by r. G. Dun & Co.:
Excepting Vermont, all Of the six New

and only in Massachusetts and Connecti-
cut were the liabilities larger than in the
first half Of 1916. Total defaults in this
section numbered 718 for s12 s91, 4e3, as
against 9o4 in the previous year for S.
4si,5 and 1858 in 1915 for s11 933, sol The
numerical increase in Vermont over 1916
was 10 per cent. or 81 insolvencies COM
pared with Is; but there was a reduction
OF 45 reverses in Rhode Island; IS in
Maine; 80 in Massachusetts; Is in New
Hampshire and in Connecticut. In re-
spect to the amount involved, Connecticut
made the most unsatisfactory showing,
with an expansion of nearly IS, ooo, 900. due
to one large manufacturing failure late in
June. In Massachusetts the Indebtedness
rose $4,000: whereas in Maine it fell off
$4,000; In Vermont s135.ooo and In Rhode
