sEABOARD CLEARANCE
BUSINESS FAILURES IN
LAST WEEK FELL OFF
Defaults Still More Than a
Year Ago.

Business failures decreased last week
according to weekly trade reviews. r. G.
Dun & Co. say that the insolvencies
numbered 491, as contrasted with 543
in the previous week and 312 in the
corresponding one In 1921. Brdd-
streets places the defaults at 400, in
contrast to 500 the preceding week and
Ell the corresponding week in 1921.
Failures decreased in the East and
West, but increased in the South and
on the Pacific coast. There were 275
insolvencies with liabilities or $4,000 or
more, which is equal to sc per cent. In
the preceding week the number was
corresponding period of 1921 they were
100 and the ratio was 51.25 per cent
Canadian defaults totalled sixty-five, an
increase of six compared with those OF
the preceding week.
r. G.. Dun &c Co. say: Constructive
elements. gatheing force for some time,
are eXerting n more potent influence
on general business. Improvement in
sentiment. which has recently become
clearly defined, is supported by actual
gains in transactions in number and
magnitude and unsatisfactory phases
are less conspicuous. Practically with

BrGdStreots says: Further mod
crate expansion In trade and retail
lines, favored by slightly better weather
and crop conditions in Northern areas
leading a continuance OF the strength
in general commodity prices recently
noted, and something like a surge for
ward IN industry are featured this
week. One conclusion is that the coal
strike in it's first month exercised
strIkinsly little visible unfavorable ef-
feet on most basic industries. Certainly
aside from the voluntary indleness OF
coal miners and cotton mill operatives,
there Is less unemployment than for a
long time"

Coal Situation

Richmond, Va. With the for
nation Of State Advisory Com
mittee on Fuel Distribution, and
with the appointment within the
next day or two OF local commit
tees throughout the State to reg
ulate priorlties in coal deliveries,
the State Fuel Administration
will be fully organized. The
State Advisory Committee is COM
posed of men selected by Chamber
of Commerce in various cities
representative Of all parts Of the
State. The membership is as
follows:
Walter E. Allen, Bristol Jas
A. Blainey, Norfolk Harry

It's announced that the CO
situation is growing more seriou
every day, although press report.
indicate a substantial hope that
the coal strike may reach an early
settlement. If so, the country
will soon be back upon a normal
basis so far as industry is con-
cerned. It is, however, reg arded
as probable that, even with an
early settlement, there must be
some rationing Of coal tor some
time to come. The situation is
complicated because o the raj
strike which makes difficulties in
transportation.
In any event, fuel for domestic
consumption cannot be on a nor
NAL basis for a long time. Almost
no anthracite coal has been mined
for nineteen weeks and, even
with settlement of the strike,
the supply cannot be up to the
countrY's requirements before
next spring. This means that
most domestic consumers viii
probably have to mix soft coal
with such anthracite as they are
able to secure through the winter
months.
Major Forwards Office is fully
organized and orders for coal are
being transmitted to Washington
and managed there by the Fed
eral Fuel Administration. Orders
are being dispatched from the
Office Of the State Fuel Admins
TRAITOR with great promotltude.
