BRlTONS ADOPT ECONOMY.
Many Bankruptcies Reported as
Result

LONDON. July 27.-English people
have determined upon policy of
strict economy resulting in consid
erablo increase in the number of
bankruptcies during the last few
months These failures have occur
red not only in London. but also in
the provinces. Business men, how
ever, are confronted by the fact that
the aggregate number is far below
the total for pre-war years. figures
for 1919 being 1877 as against 1855
for 1914.
While many reasons are advanced
for this state of affairs. the most &C
ceptable one in business circles is the
attitude of the buying public. which
has decided only to purchase absolute
necessities. In consequence, traders
who have purchased large stocks of
goods at fancy prices in anticipatio
of quick and handsome profits find
themselves with white elephants" on
their hands and a non-buying public
The goods had to be disposed of
frequently at a big loss.
