NEW YORK, Jan. 4.—R. G. Dun &. Co.'s
weekly review of trade says:
The Icommereial failures during th
complete year 1895 number 13, 197 agains
13,885 in 1894, but the aggregate of lia-
bilities is slightly greater, $173, 196,060
against $172,992,856, so that the average
per failure is $13,124 against $12,458 in
1894. The bright premise offered by a large
decrease in the first quarter‘was followed
by-a small increase in the second and
third quarters and a large increase in the
last quarter of the year. In that quarter
also the deferred liabilities to each firm in
business increased, and also the proportion
of deferred liabilities to payments through
clearing houses. Classified returns made
by R. G. Dun & Co. disclose the meaning
, of the'change, showing a heavy increase,
.36 per cent, in liabilities of manufactur-
ing failures for the past quarter, while in
trading lid‘oillties a small decrease ap«
pears. ‘ ‘
Produce markets have been the theater
of surprising changes which have influ~
enced all business. The acreage in cotton
was wisely restricted, in order to give pro—
ducers a better chance for fair returns,
.and the crop was further reduced to some
extent by injury, but growers were in-
jured still more by frantic speculation,
which checked exports, and by false in-
formation and advice. Legitimate efforts
now being made by the Memphis cotton
exchange and other associations to reduce
acreage in conformity with the world’s
actual demands deserve all encourage-
ment and support. Wheat producers suf-
feredjn like manner from wild specula-
tion, which prevented the exporting of
many million bushels, and false reports,
which encouraged farmers to keep back
their grain nitil the cream had been taken
off the market by speculators. The inev-
itable consequence has been a very low
range of prices, the yield-being clearly in
excess of all demands, while Atlantic ex-
ports for the last five weeks, flour includ-
ed, have been 9,411,250 bushels against
9, 703,673 last year. The crop of corn was
probably much the largest ever growu,
and its cheapness has materially affected
the prices. of meats.
. Effect of Speculation.
The course Of industries during 1895
has been materially afieeted by specula-
tion in materials. Midsummer witnessed
a tremendous advance, with a rush to buy
for exceeding the‘ ordinary demand for
consumption even when swelled by re-
plenishment of stocks after two years’ on ‘
forced depletion. Prices rose beyond all
reason, exciting still more the anxiety to
buy beyond actual needs. Thousands of
producers strangely mistook the extraor-
dinary buying for a vast increase in con-
~sumingability and extended plants, open-
ed mills, increased force and pushed pro-
duction in many lines far beyond actual
consumption. Inevitably both traders
and manufacturers were left toward the
close with considerable stocks unsold and
claims against customers who were them-
selves tied up,h by purchases beyond their
distributing power; hence the general
shrinkage in prices for the past three
months. '
Railroad earnings showed decided im-.
provement over last year, 5.6 per cent for
the year and 6.9 per cent for December,
though 4.6 per cent smaller than in 1892.
Railroad stocks averaged $48.40 per share
_. at the beginning of 1895, fell to $44. 96 in
March, rOse to $56.41 in September and
fell to $45.09 with the war panic in De-
cember, but closed at $47.75 per share.
Commercial loans have suddenly risen
to 10 per cent or more for best paper-and
a premium is bid for gold at the west by
parties desiring to take bonds, while
82, 500,000 is on the way hither from Ger.
many, and London financiers reckonthat
German banks will draw from there $15,-
000, 000 or more to pay for bonds. The
recent decrease in imports of merchandise
‘ and some increase in exports warrant hope
that trade balances may be more favorable
hereafter, but much depends upon the
course of securities. which foreign holders
are selling to some extent in order to
share in the expected profits on bonds.
Barely has there been a situation so com-
plicated, and the near future is difficult to
forecast, but it is the widely prevalent im-
pression that a large sale of bonds will
speedily revive confidence and activity.

rI‘he Shell Fish commissioners have
just rendered their report to the Gov-

more than usual interest. .
The financial statement rhows total
receipts of the year to have .been
$6,862.75;t~ot.1l disbursements, 95,845.93
leaving a balance of $1,016.82. This
amount is smaller than that turned over
to Ihe state last year, and the explana-
tion is made that one reason is due to
the fact that Mr. Beardsley the retiring
commissioner, allowed his salary to ac-
cumulate during his entIre term, draw-
ing the whole amount when he'retired.
The expence of the survey of natural
oyster beds, amounting to $1,800. was
also deducted from the disbursements.
The boat licenses have brought in
$695.50, and‘the disbursements amount
ed to $420.65, leaving a balance to the
state of $274 85.
It will be observed that the oyster
industry, great as it is, net; the slate
in taxes only about one-sixth of a cent
per acre. Not a cent of: taxes is paid
on this property to any town.

THE WAR IN CUBA.
the Forces of General Gomez and General
Mnceo VVell Armed and Disciplined.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 4.—-New light on
the actual numerical strength of the Cu-
ban insurgent army under the direct com-
mand of Generals Gomez and'Maceo and
concerning the great destruction of crops
In Cuba was furnished upon the arrival
In Philadelphia of the British steamship
Ardandlzu, which sailed from Havana on
Dcc..~29 last. This information is to the
effect that these two generals alone had
93,000 men messed under them, and that
Havana was in a state of great confusion
and excitement on the Ardandhu’s sailing
ay.
During the first part of the steamship’s
voyage along the Cuban coast fields of
blazing corn and cane could be seen for
a long distance. The scene of devastation
extended all the way from Havana to
Cardenas, and millions of dollars’ worth
of property was soon reducedto ashes.
The businessmen of both Cardenas and
Havana hope, according to reports brought
by the Ardandhu, for insurgent success,
and many believe it to be near at hand.
They say there is a financial panic im-
pending in Havana, owing: to Spain’slack
of both money and crczilt. The young
military recruits, who have not received
their pay for months and have survived
the yellow jack,,openly curse the cause of
Spain and threaten to revolt.
John C.. Deemer, an American civil en-
gineer, who was a passenger on the Ar-
dandhu, had been on a railroad train that
was stopped by the insur'vont army five
miles from Cardenas. instead of there
being only 8,000 insurgent Soldiers, as re-
ported from Spanish sources, there were,
he says, at least 18,000 men under the
command of General Gomez and 5,000
more a short distance in the rear com-
manded by General Macao.
Some idea of the size of the army, he
says, may be gathered from the fact that
the troops were 3 hours and 40 minutes in
marching across the railroad. There was
also a train of 100 mules, loaded with pro-
visions and ammunition. He says the sol-
diers were. ragged after their march
through the forests, but well armed and
disciplined.
The passengers on the train were not
disturbed, but the Official mails were seized
by General Gomez. ‘
Possession. _
It so falls out that what we have we

it; but, being 'lacked and lost, why,
then, we rack the value. Then we find
