FAILURES INCREASED IN
SEPTEMBER QUARTER

NEW YORK, October 4-The effect
of business readjustment is disclosed
in statistics of mercantile failures
in the third quarter of the year,
r. G. Dun & Co., reporting a total
of 4,472, with liabilities amounting
to 122.699.399. The number was the
largest for the period since 1915 and
the liabilities were the greatest for
at least nine years. Although the
number of insolvencies was IA per
cent larger than it was in the second
quarter of this year, the indebted
ness was 5.S per cent less.
Bradstreet's records show 1866
failures. with liabilities of $154.170.-
143, in the quarter ended on Septem-
Der 80. In the nine months ended
with September reports to that credit
agency show 1918 business casual
ties. almost three times the total of
the corresponding 1929 period, but 6
Der cent smaller than those of the
corresponding time in 1915. With the
exception of 1915, the last nine
months record the largest aggregate
in any nine months period in the
country's history. Liabilities in the
first nine months of this year amount
ed to $540,S95.557. slightly more than
twice the total in the corresponding
tnree-quarters of last year. Com
pared with 1893. another year of
business difficulties. this years total
of liabilities in failures is IS per
cent 81 eater.

COTTON CROP 1922 BELOW
WORST PREVIOUS RECORD

Cotton production this year was fore
cast yesterday at 6,5s7,o0o equivalent
500-pound bales by the Department of
Agriculture, basing its estimate on the
condition Of the crop September 25.
which was 42.2 per cent of normal.
indicating a yield of 1850 pounds per
acre.
Further decline in the condition Of
cotton during September resulted in a
reduction of 100000 bales in the fore
cast Of production issued by the Depart
ment of Agriculture. which places the
total crop at 6,537,000 equivalent 500
pound bales.
The growing season this year has
been the most disastrous on record,
the crop showing a loss of 1856. 900
bales in prospective production during
the months of August and September.
The end of August found the crop
in the worst condition ever recorded.
while the end of September. as dis
closed in the report, shows un-
favorable weather during the month
rendered the condition worse than at
the end of August. Record extremes
Of heat and dryness have forced un-
precedented maturity of the crop and
deficiency of fertilizer has shortened
the fiber and lessened the yield.
Yesterdays condition report shows the
crop to be 1872 points below the worst
previous record. Over most of the
belt there will be but little middle
crop and practically no top crop.
