AVithiii the limits of this review of the

oitri!mtel to render it unique in hitorr

anil while the result lias been a ten
dency toward cheapening articles of con
sumption, the inevitable consequence of
Jbrcins ninny people out of their chosen
hnsinos is more marked than ever.
The situation, as viewed at present by
raos financiers is much better than it was
a year azo, when many were flonnderin
through .in drifts to importune bankers
ior loan'. In December, 1SW, people ordi
narily in pood odor anion bankers were
told by them, in rcpiv ior tlemands for
loans : "We are not making any new paper
now, exept in cases absolutely necessary."
Cow monev is easy, it Ii e cry indication
tint it will be easier. Prob ibly the mos-t
pleasing lentnre in the sitnatioa is the
fae- that our "itntpsmn" cannot
rlaim tlic credit for our prosperity, as they
l;d rot make the weather on cither side of
the Atlantic, and the bulk of the improve
ment comes from the fact that we have a
lane grain crop and Knrope is forced to
buy oar surplus at a lair price.

There appears to be a well-founded belief
that business must boom this year, money
being plenty. At present aliaost eerv
lhing is quiet. The Tractions are fairlv
moveable, and some bank stocks arc firm
though sluggish. There appears to be next
t'i no Movement in insurance stocks, for
li.'iugh Pittsburg institutions have not suf
Icrcd so much as some people seem to
think, yet it has been a terribly severe
year on insn-ance companies ali'otcrthe
country, and investors an.- chary. There
is reported a large amount of monev
lying idle inbanksand has been for months,
asd its oncers are beginning to get fidget-.
Many of them have been :ntcrvicwing
brokers of late on the subject ot iinest
ment, but though the latter are optimistic,
would-be investors play around the bait and
in some instances dallied so long that thev
loat chances that they subsequently decided
wonld have been good. Brukers prolcss to
think that those w ho ha e hesitated will lail
lo get full fruition.
Distribution Through tho Year.
Hank exchanges show about the usual
swell during the months following quarterly
f-cttlcnients, and the nearness to which the
figures approach each other and tiie slight
ariafons during the other mouths show
that regular trade was quite equally dis
tributed the j ear through. It might be re
n.arked here also peitiuently that the de
cline in local speculation assisted labor
tioubles in pulling down exchanges some
VJ or 13 per cent Irom the volume of lS'M.
Another unusual lcature in Clearing House
statements in this city is the fact that last
rear's exchanges while'thev were over fl 00,
(.100,000 less than those of 1S1H.I, balances wen;
o er ?1,000,000 greater. August was the

egrams to HraMreH' from prominent trade
center- report a pronounced dullness In
general Jobbing lines, as is usual at this
season. South as w ell as in some othter sec
tions, mercantile collections are not prompt.
There is less discounting by banks, and
more extension? ai o asked.
Coal and other seasonable lines are un
favorably affected by mild weather, lum

tho Kast dull; at some points depressed.
There is no improvement in the demand
lor raw or finished iron as yet. Prices of
wile and nails at tho West are lower.
In some lines, notably dry goods at Phila
delphia, the volume or trade for 1S91, with
some exceptions, is reported smaller than
In 189J. At most of the larger Western cities
satisiaction is expressed with the character
and volume of general trade in 1891. At
Chicago tho increase, as compared with tho
preceding year, is p'.aced at 6 per cent. The
Louisiana su;ar crop is expected to be 25
per cent smaller than in 1S30.
I'lantcrs Holding Hack Their Cotton.
lieports come from various sections of tho

cotton. In the Eastern States boot and shoo
manufacturers arc beginning to work on
.spiing orders. There is apparently a wide
spread feeling of confidence in the favorable
course or trade for 1S92
The s,outh Australian wheat crop is a par
tial lailuiv, being eftiinatcd at not over live
liushels per acre, and tlic probable snrp'ns
lor export less than i.ooo ouu Dusueis, w nicii
w ill be requited m the other colonies and in
Simtli Airlci. Tho estimate is ventured
that Victoria may havo 3,100,000 bushels for
export bayond Australia.
Wheat prices in the United States have
not been strong, and exports have been
checked by tho holidays. Grain-carrying
vessels boundfor San Francisco for canroes,
are being ordered elsewhere to load, owing
to low freights from that point. Grain is
expected to go forn ard to tidewater in Cali
fornia mora freely within the next few
months.
Kxpwts of wheat this week from both

BmoWr. aggregate abo.it 3,107,00 bushels

Mannfactni-ers of woolen soodsaro not
buying raw materials heavily except at con

the close of 1830. Tho outlook is for more
activity in theeatly months of 1892. The
Austiaiian colonies, as our Australian cor
respondence shows, will havo tho largest
wool clip on record, probably JbO.OOO bale4
more than last car.
General drygoods move slowly. Sales of
brown and bleached cottons are at low

linn. Kail Itiver produced 0,95 000 p eces in

The Failures or the Old Yrar.
The total number of failures in the United
Slates i.i the year which closed to-night
was li,5M. The totnl liabilities aggregated
193 178,000, while tho total actual assests
rcrehMl S!0i,fc93,000. There weio 10,073 la.il
urcs Jn SW with liabilitiis nggiegating
I74,r93 000 and actual assets $92 731,000. Next
Sftturd-ivV issnporyfrncWrerf' in an article
on "ilcrlaiitilol'.illuie in 1S91," will say:
When it Is ieaincd that the total numbr
of business failures in the United States in
1831 i- tully IS per cent larger than In 1'9J, it
urnst be tecallcd that in the year last named
the aggregate of mercantile failures actual
lv decreased 9 per cent as compared with
the total in 189. In the two preceding years
failures had been increased at tho rate or
about 10 per cent. One year ago thev de
clined, as compared with 1SS9, about 9 per
cent, and last ear the apparent extraordi
nary gain merely represented about the pre
vious late of increase in the commercial
death rate considered over a more extended
period ot time.
It would almost seem as it the exception
ally favorable ten months' business in ISSO,
Horn January 1 to October31, of that year,
tended to furnish results which enabled
many traders to tide over the shoals or com
mercial disaster tor tno time being, only to
be wrecked eventually In 1891 when tne
ebbtide exposed the rocks of their own un
soundness. The Financial Upheavals or 1830.
Doubtless this result was intensified by
the monetary disturbances of Xovember and
December, 1S93, w hich continued well into
last year. These, the outcome of what has
been described as tho "Barings panic," were
followed by the prolonged period of expor
tation of gold and the natural consequence,
lcstiicted loans and discount.
In the light of all of theso influences, the
1G percent increased total number of busi
ness lailures, as compared with the total for
lf93, but about 6 per cent, as contrasted with
the total ior 1889, is neither strange nor
st-irtling.
The total number of failures in the
United States in 1S9L In which the aggiegate
ot liabilities was equal to or in exeessof
$100 030. was 2S1, as compared with 1,834 in
IS) Prominent again within the past 12
iimiiiu iine occu laiiuics ot Dailies,
bankers, and of those known as bankers
andbiokers. In 1890 there were 32 failures
of privnto hanks. State, Xntlonal and
savings hanks, with about $19,000,000 lia
bilities. I-ast j ear the total number of bank fail
ures reported to us was 53, with an appioxi
inate total or'i 000,000 liabilities. The un
favorable conditions attecting the monev
market at the close of 1890 evidently exerted
an Influence well into the ear 1831, and this,
added to what w ould appear to be too great
a degree ot cultivation or irresponsible
private banks, appears to explain n long,
continued mortalitv among a etas of insti
tutions w hich shnald be, bv reason of their
environment and management, well nigh
unable to lail.

The suit that is not cut
-right ought to be cut to
pieces. It makes all the dif
ference in the world who
handles the blades that go
through the cloth. If you
cannot say of a suit that it is
artistically cut, the less you
say about it the better. Mr.
I. Jackson personally attends
to the cutting department;
and he knows how the shears
are handled. That is one of
the reasons why our HOME
MADE SUITS are so supe
rior to others and defy criti
cism; in the making of our
suits it is needless to again
cairyour attention to the fact
that every garment is made
by our own tailors with the
greatest of care, with but one
object in view, and that is
"entire satisfaction."
OUR SPECIAL REDUCTIONS
Will enable you to procure
the grandest values you can
imagine. Special mentions
our home-made Cheviot Suits
at $12 and $15; our hand
somely bound Clay Worsteds
at $14, $15, $16 and $18.

with rather a large quantity
