FAILURES
SHOWN IN WEEK

Bradstreet's reports that there
were 742 business failures during
the week ending January 81, a
decrease of IL per cent from the
ISL reported the previous week
However, as there is normally a
seasonal decrease of So per cent
at this time, the decline is shown
to be less than seasonal. When
compared with the like week in
1881 there is an increase of 10.1
per cent as the total for that week
was 667.
Because of the less than sea-
sonal decline Bradstreet's Ad-
justed Index of Weekly Failures
rose, and now stands at 1882 as
against 1918 in the preceding
week and 1912 for the similar
week last year.
The banking group showed the
greatest drop from the previous
week, with 81 failures, or TT per
cent of the total number, as
against 10, or 9.3 per cent in the
preceding week. The wholesale
and jobbing and commercial SER
vice divisions also showed declines
from the preceding week, with
totals of So and At, respectively,
as against 40 and Sc the week be.
fore. The retail group remained
unchanged. with the same total
535-this week and the previous
week. Manufacturing was the
only group which showed an IN,
crease, with a total of ST. or $40
ner cent of all the failures. as
against so, or 81 per cent IN tne
week before.

GARNER LAUDED.
BY TEXAN

The BLACK Eagle of Texas" ar.
rived at the willard yesterday.
John Darrouzet is the name he
signed on the register. but the
"Black Eagle" is the name he is
called by Texans.
Interesting and picturesque, he
is one of the outstanding law
yers Of his State and has a thor.
ough knowledge of the politics Of
the Southland. When questioned
regarding candidacy of Speaker
Garner for President. he said:
Texas is proud that John
Garner has reached the impOr.
tant position of Speaker Of the
House and / am sure the Demo
cratic party will honor him with
the opportunity Of running for
the highest office in the land"
Speaking of Mr.. Gamers quail
fications for this office, Darrou-
yet said:
"HiS advancement in public
life has not changed his feel
ing toward his fellow man. He
is a Christian gentleman, de-
voted husband, loving father
and sincere friend.
John Garner will carry the
South and when the rest Of the
country knows him as we do, it
will vote for him."

DECLINE SHOWN
IN INDUSTRIES
! IN MONTH

Industrial activity declined
from November to December by
slightly more than the usual sea-
sonal amount, while the volume
Of factory employment showed
about the usual decrease, accord
ing to the bulletin of U. S. Fed
eral Reserve and the Federal Re
serve banks. Wholesale prices de-
clined further.
The volume of industrial out
put decreased somewhat more
than is usual in December, and
the boards SeaSOnally adjusted
index declined from 72 per cent
of the 1923-1925 average in No
vember to II per cent in Decem-
ber.
Activity in the steel industry
decreased from 80 to "a per cent
Of capacity for the month, partly
as result of seasonal influences;
in the first three weeks OF jan
uary it showed a seasonal IN
crease.
Auto Output Up
Automobile output increased
considerably in December from
the extreme low level of the pre-
ceding month, and the daily aver
age output at shoe factories,
which, ordinarily, declines at this
season, showed little change. At
textile mills. production was cur
tailed by more than the usual
seasonal amount. In the auto
mobile and shoe industries, there
were large increases in employ
ment.
For the year 1881, as a whole,
the average volume of industrial
production was about 16 per cent
smaller than in 1890.
Value of building contracts
awarded, as reported by the F. w.
Dodge Corporation, declined con-
S1derably more than is usual from
the third to the fourth quarter,
and for the year, as a whole, was
80 per cent smaller than in 1890,
reflecting reduced physical vol
une of construction, as we'll as
lower building costs.
Distribution Declines
Distribution of commodities by
rail declined by the usual sea
sonal amount in December, and
department store sales increased
by approximately the usual
amount.
Value of foreign trade con-
tinued at low level in December
and for the year as a whole ex-
ports showed a decline of 81 per
cent from 1880 and imports a
decline of 80 per cent, reflecting
in part the reduction in prices.
, Wholesale prices of commodi-
ties declined from 68 per cent
of the 1926 average in Novem-
beT to 66 per cent in December.
Bank Credit Drops
Reserve bank credit, which had
declined from the middle Of Oc-
tober to the middle of December
and had increased in the latter
part of the month, declined again
in the first three weeks in Janu-
ary.
Loans and investments of mem
ber banks in leading cities de-
clined further during December
and the first two weeks of Janu-
ary, reflecting reductions in loans
on securities, as we'll as in other
loans. and investments.

HOLD UP
WELL DESPITE
STEEL NEWS
By SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, Jan. % UN.SO.
From an unbiased view, the stock
market gave surprisingly fav-
orable account of itself, in taking
the United States Steel news
with the nonchalance that 1t
showed.
It will be noted that num-
ber of ranking speculative fav-
orites we're particularly weak IN
Wednesdays session, ota oly
United states Steel. American
Telephone. and Allied Chemical,
but the stubborn resistance put
up by the main body OF stocks
lends color to the belief that ac-
emulation is taking place by
important interests under the
cover of selling in the more
prominent issues.
Rail Group Gains
However, it is yet too early TO
jump to conclusions of this Sort
but however skeptical one may
be, there is no denying the fact
that on news of utmost bearish
import, the general stock list re-
fused to be thrown into retreat,
while the rail group actually was
able to make headway.
Worst News Is Out
Another thing that one might
keep in mind is that with the
disposal of the U. S. Steel earn
ings report, probably the worst
in 1881 income statements has
been seen.
While it is altogether possible
that isolated weakness may con-
tinue to crop up from time to
time in the. stock list. it is well
to remember that the market
habitually discounts the future,
and if business decides to pick
up, stock prices will hardly re-
main in their present rut.

Employment Drops
In Anthracite Fields

Anthracite employment declined
4 per cent while wage payments
increased 7 per cent from Novem-
ber to December, according to
the Philadelphia Federal Reserve
Bank.
The employment index stood at
78 per cent on the 1923-25 aver
age, or nearly one-fifth lower
than in December. 1890. The
payroll index was Sc, which was
