FEWER BUSINESS
FAILURES NOTED
November InSoIvencieS Are
Less Than Those of
Last Year.
Special Dispatch to The star.

NEW YORK, December s. Insol-
vencies in the United States in No
vember numbered 2,195 against 1852
in October and 2,031 in November of
last year, according to the records of
X. O. Dun & Co. These figures cover
only business defaults and do not in
clude individual bankruptcies or the
suspensions of banks. There was a
decrease last month from October of
l67, decline of IL per cent, and an
increase of 164 over November of last
year, or 81 per cent. A year ago, when
conditions in November were somewhat
strained, the decrease in that month
from October was only 90, or "A per
cent, while the increase over Noven-
Der of the preceding year was 235, or
l3.l per cent. BY both comparisons
the November insolvency record for
this year makes a slightly better
showing.
Liabilities last month we're also bet
ter than for the preceding month. The
amount involved was $50 659,6l2. This
total compares with S70,660,43 in Oc-
tober, an unusually heavy sum, exceed
ing the total reported for each month
IN 1881 since January In November
OF last year 55,260,730 were involved
IN the business defaults then. These
comparisons clearly indicate that the
disturbance which occasioned the un-
usually heavy record in October has
been largely eliminated.
Ihsolvencies this year exceed those
OF any preceding year For the II
months of 1881 the number was 25,527
with liabilities OF 1868 ,096 ,052, not in
Guiding banks, For the same period of
iast year there were 1880 similar de-
taults Tor 1894, 6O0,48l. From June to
September, inclusive, this wear some
recession occurred in these figures hut
the october return again made a
rather unfavorable showing. In 1890
business failures involved heavier totals
than for any previous record up to that
Time. This year there will be a fur

Now what Is known as the financial
position Of corporation as set fcl tn in
lts balance sheet is the relation between
the current assets and the current la
pllltles, the amount by vhich the for
mer exceeds the latter being knowns as
the working capital. Curren- assets are
thoSe which can be readily realizedupon
or which can be turned into cash in the
regular course Of business, and current
liabilities are those which must be met
within relatively short period.
IN the above statement on the Asset
SIDE the current items are cash. ac-
counts receivable, marketable securities
and inventories, the total of which is

rent liabilities include notes PAYABLE

capital which is the difference betwee5
the two, is s30,0o0,o0o.
This Is a reasonably good showing
Many corporations are stronger and
many are weaker. In any event, IL is

lean art would devote itself to the

Baur is best known as a tenor, but
he is an accomplished violinist and
pianist He took up the first inStru-
nlent when he was 6 and started to
study the piano at IA. At 16 he dis
covered that he had voice and began
to develop it. He has won the praise
of the Prince of Wales. During the
1928 season of the Ziegfeld Follies
he was lead tenor. But Baur had cast
his lot with the radio and was lured
away from the microphone for just that
one season. He Is now one OF the most
popular Of the stars of the air.
There is tremendous embryonic tai

Sit Is ridiculous for Americans to i'm

half the ability and give them all the
cream while their native artists starve.
When the American artist and the
foreign artist are exact equals IN ART
