The annual examination of the Brad- street company's records of business fail- ures is an interesting statement. As a number of these reports have b• en made) the general public are now enabled to compare results over a series of years. In making reports of business failures. care has been taken to record causes of embarrassments, and as these data have been collected now for a series of years, they acquire added value. It should be borne in mind that causes of business failure assigned are those to which fail- ures are primarily due. AmBEICAN LACK OF CAPTeAL. As heretofore pointed out, failures in the United States due to lack of capital cont nue prominent from the point of view of numbers, the total for 1894 be ng 4,885, against 5,194 in 1891, compared with 8.,843 in 1892 and with 4,869 in 1891. This maintains the proportion reported in preceding ears, in round nu'tbers about one-third the total number failing due to that cause. In years prior to 1898 the year of panic, failures due to disaster or commercial crisis have not been as prominent as since 1592, ranging in 1891 and in 1892 abo t 17 per cent. of the to- tal number, from which they jumped to 22 par cent. in 1893 and to nearly 26 per cent. in 1894, or from an. average of about 2,000 each in the years 1891 and 1892 to 3,468 in 1893 and 8.295 last year. Third rn impertanoe among primary causes of business failures is incompetence, the proportion so failing in the years 1891 and 1893, inclusive, ranging above 16 per cent., but falling off last year to about 14 per cent., due undoubtedly to results of a weeding out process which had marked that and the preceding year. FRAUDULENT DISPOSITION. The G.T.R. will rebuild the swing bridge at Burlington Beach. A planing mill will be erected on the site of that burned in Becton.

A $1 bill was rt ceived at the general offices of the G,T,R. at Montreal the oth- er day with a note explaining that the writer had purchased a second-class ticket and had ridden :first-class on it, and asked that the amount be placed in the Qom pany's funds. "The French-Canadian papers all con- tain long editorials on the Manitoba sehool question, and offer their opinions and make their demands in a very decid- ed manner," says the Toronto Mail. rl hey are not given to backwardness in com- menting on Dominion politics. A less satisfactory exhi it is made by records of failures due to fraudulent dis- position of property, there having been 1,022 last year. against 1,1.42 the year be- fore, 1,068 the year before that and 875 in 1891. From 7 per cent. of the total num- ber of failures in 1891, those due to fraud- ulent disposition, the total jumped to 10.8 per cent. in 1S92, fell off to 7.4 per cent. in 1893, the year of panic, and advanced to 8 per cent. last year. The proportion of concerning failing last year due pri- marily to a granting of unwise credits was somewhat larger than in the year before, and almost exactly the same pro- portion reported in 1898. It is of interest to note the proportion of business failures last year due to speculation outside of regular business fell off sharply, amount- ing to only 8 to 1 per cent. of the total, compared with 1.2 per cent. in 1898, 1.9 per cent. in 1892 and 2.7 per cent. the year before that. UNDUE COVIPETITiON. But the proportion of the number of failures last year caused because of un- due c repetition showed a sharp increase, which was to be expected in a year of depression following one of panic, the to- tal for 1894 being 277, against 191 the year before, 180 the year before that and 199 in 1891, indicating that the number failing last year from this cause was 2.1 per cent., against 1.2 per cent. in 1893, 1.7 per eent. in 1892, and proportionately a trifle less than that in the year before that. There is also a decline rn the pro- portion of those failing due to neglect of business. This was to be anticipated after th a lesson taught by 1893, and the like is true of concerns which failed last year 'because of extravagance, awl as well of concerns failing because of failure of others. The proportion of those failing because of inexperience, dropped from 6.1 per cent, of the whole number in 1893 to 4.2 per cent. of the aggregate failing last year. GOOD SHOWING FOR CANADA. In Canada and Newfoundland the total number of individuals, firms and corpora- tions failing in 1894 because of lack of capital was 68.5 per cent., whereas the year before it was 69.4 per cent. The proportion of those failing from incom- petence and from inexperience in business last year, as compared with the year be- fore, did not vary much, nor did the pro- bortion of those whose embarrassment is. attributed to neglect of business.

A London cable says : The splendid wheats of Manitoba have attracted a great deal of attention, both from their hardness, weight and general appearance and there is little doubt that almost any quantity could find a market in the Unit- ed Kingdom. 'One large importing house stated recently that the Manitoba wheat of last year's crop, handled by them, is. the finest quality that has ever been re- ceived oe. the market, and that the mill- ers appreciate it more generally and are using it more freely than they have ever before done.

ELECTRICITY AND TUE TARIl'L'. The question whether electricity should be admitted free of duty into Canada is being considered by Hun. N. Clarke laee, Controller of Customs. The matter was brought up before him Saturday by a deputation from Niagara. In that town electiscity for lighting purposes has been generated by steam, owing to the water power being leased from the park com- missioners by the Canadian branch of Cataract Power Company, and used for manufacturing purposes. She towns- people are now desirous of having their electricity generated on the American side by the new water power there, and transmitted by wire names the river; but they are doubtful as to whether the elec- tricity can be imported free of duty, and it is to get a ruling of the department upon the matter that the deputation has come to the city. It consists of Messrs. Alexander Fraser, J. R. Lord, F. Leblanc and R. E. Elridge. They had an inter- view with the Controller Saturday and will again call upon him Tuesday. As several of the delegates are interested in the Oneida Manufacturing Company, they will take advantage of their visit to ask for the free importation of a certain class of steel. that they use largely in manufacturing their wares.

ROBERTSON, J. An Explanation.. The following letter has been received' from Mr. Thomas White, High Secretary. of the Canadian Order of Foresters, Brant- ford, and fully explains itself, We simp- ly state that the item complained of • es• taken from ono of our daily papers, and published as an item of news : A clipping bas been sent to me from one of the members of our ` Order taken from your paper with the heading "For- esters Arrested." This article I noticed some time ago in a number of our Can- adian papers as a despatch from Chicago. The names "Canadian Order" and "Can- adian Order of Foresters" appear in this which utterly misrepresent the facts in connection with the arrest referred to. A contradiction appeared in all the leading, papers of the country after ;the publica- tion of this article, explaining tbat A. B. Stevenson and Mr. Rosenbaum, of Illi- nois, were lli-nois,were not members of the "Canadian Order of Poresters," but that they were members of the Independent Order of Foresters, the head off ice of which society is located in the city of Toronto. This. society carries on business in the United States, and it was in c nnectir u with that Order that the trouble arose. The "Can- adian Order of Foresters," pr. perly so called, confines its business entirely to Canada, and is therefore in no danger of running c..unter t t any of the laws of the United States, insurance cr other- wise. Kindly give place to this letter in your paper FO as to remove any wrong impression that may have been made by the publication of the article in your paper to which I referred. ,MORD STUDY, LESS SPORT. The faculty of the University of Chi- cago now insist that business shall come first and pleasure afterwards, and have declared that any student to whose work is attached a condition shall be prohibit- ed from taking part in any university en- tertainment., athletic or otherwise. A member of the university faculty said : "There has been considerable `flunking' of late among university students, and especially in the glee and mandolin clubs, and some of the football men have fallen behind in their work. Hereafter, any student who is conditioned in his work will be prohibited from participating in any public event held under the auspices of the university." Prof. Stagg said : "The new rule will cripple our efforts on the athletic field to some extent, but I think, on the whole, it will be a good thing for lis. A number of our athletes waste a good deal of time. The new rule will stimulate systematic work and is certain to have a salutary effect in time." It is said the burden of the resolution falls on the glee and man- dolin clubs. The Senate has ciecicled, by a vote of 24 to 22, to affirm the plan of absolute non- interference with other nations and to ap- prove President Cleveland's Hawaiian policy, in place of adopting a proposed annexation resolution. It was a close shave for the Anministration, The bill pledging the faith and support of the United States to the construction of the Nicaragua canal passed the Senate by a vote of 81 yeas to 21 nays.

Mr. Smith is also well known in Toronto, in whiehncity he worked for several years- in earsin a Yonge street barber shop. To a re- porter of the Beacon, who is a ,customer of his the affable barber recently told of his recovery from a late very severe ill- ness. He bad, he said, for some years been afflicted with a weak back, so much. so that at times if he stooped.he could not regain an upright position unassisted, and as for lifting anything, that was out. of the question. "For years," to use Mr. Smith's own words, "I could not carry a scuttle -full of coal," He had, so the physicians whom he consulted told him, disease of the kidneys, but they failed to cure him. He grew weak at. length and rapidly lost flesh. Quite frequently he would be obliged to give• up work for a week and take to his bed. He lost his appetite, was pale and so un- nerved that he could not possibly hope - to continue loner at his trade., "Customers of the barber shop," he re- marked, "do not care to be shoved by a man whose hand trembles." He had been in bed for some time undergoing treatment, when one morning his wife said to him : ' ` Jim, I've got a new medi eine I want you to try." It was Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills she had. He objected to more medicine, as invalids will do, but. at length, as sensible men usually are, he was guided by his wife, "Bub, mind, you," h said, "I had no faith in the, pills ; I only took them to. please my. wife." It was fortunate he did so, for he, was soon back at work, and after taking several boxes of the medicine was strong- er than be had been far several years. Within two months after beginning to take Pink Pills he felt like a new man and had gained over twenty pounds in weight, There is certainly no healthier looking man in the city to -day than Mr. Smith.. Since his restoration to health by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills he has recommend ed the remedy to many of bis friends, and has yet to hear of a case where the remedy faithfully tried was found want- ing. In cases like that of Mr. Smith, Pink Pills furnish a speedy and effective, cure, as indeed they do in all cases de- pendent upon a poor or watery condition of the blood or impaired nervous forces. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure v hen other medicines fail. Sold by all dealers or sent by mail, post-paid, at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50, by addressing the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont., or Schenectady, N.Y. tender no ciroum- atances are the genuine Pink fills sold in bulk, but only in boxes, the wrapper around which is printed in reel ink and bears thio full trade mark, "Dr, Williams' Pink Pills for :.Pale People." Pills offered in any other form, no matter what color, are worthless imitations. ' Cornwall, without jury, Tuesday, 5th March. Cramptoti, with and without jury,Tues- day, 1.2th March.
