Duiiii's Review of Year.
Will Stand Among Thoso Sat
Down in Red Letters
Now York Dec 29?R G Dunn
& Co 's Weekly Review of Trade
will aay tomorrow : No correct re
port of failures in 1899 can be made
until the year has closed. A collapse
of speculation in copper stocks has
swelled the aggregate at Boston alone
over $18,000 000 within a few days,
and might yet add to tbe record The
failures thus far reported are fewer in
number than in any year since 1883,
and smaller in amount of commercial
liabilities than in any year since 1881
Tbe aggregate of defaulted liabilities
is $120,060,000, but nearly two
thirds of the banking liabilities weie
added within a few days, the aggre
gate reaching abont $30,900,000
Tbe commercial liabilities Uave been
about $89,260,000, though exact re
turns for a few recent failures are not
yet obtainable No other years ex?
cept 1881, with defaulted liabilities
of $81 155,932, and 1880, wttb $65,
752,000, have failures been as small
since tbe agency commenced quar?
terly returns in 1875 Tbo average
of liabilities per failure is less than
$9,500, the smallest in any year of
tbe 25, a gratifying evidence that
commercial liabilities are further re
moved than usual from the point of
danger
Tbe week has been exciting only
st Boston, where the failures grow
ing out of speculation snd the efiorts
to re establish banks and firms bus
pended have not given the week a
holiday character Yet general busi
nesB is thoroughly safe and prosper
ous, and no important firms have
failed save some which were indi
vidually connected with concern* in
Tolved in speculation
The speculative troubles-come be?
cause the value of legitimate busi
ness snd the unprecedented distribu
tions of profits, interest and dividends
make it no longer possible to carry
Borne stocks on borrowed money
Prosperity itself placed a check on
speculative vestures
Wheat and cotton speculation has
taken a holiday, prices scarcely vary
ing and the movement of both is sur
prisingly small Atlantic exports of
wheat, flour included, have in four
weeks been only 8 278,618 bushels
against 19,874,587 last year and Pa
cific exports 3,314,271 against 3,
856,898
The corn exports continue sbout as
large as last year, but cotton exports
this month hsve been less that half
last yesr with sou.e decrease in tak
ings of spinners Accumulated stocks
in mills and markets, both here and
abroad, are eo large tbat there is no
baste to pay the prices asked
Tbe industries are dosing th 1 most
extraordinary year of their history
Long established branobes have under
gone a veritable reeoostruotion, vastly
increasing their capacity, while new
industries which soaroely existed a year
or two ago have enlisted a vast oapsoity,
altered modes of busioess and of pro
duotioo in almost every direetion aod
improved conditions for tbe future
almost beyood calculation
Elootrioal developments in light, best
and power, tn making oataraets work,
performed wonders io production of
materials, and providing traosportatioo
all over the land deserve especial
attention
For such reooostsuotioo tbe inorease
io demand for iron and steel produots is
the great feature of tbe year. With
415,733 tons unsold and 243 510 pro
duoetl weekly Jan 1, biodered by
severe weather, ao tbat tbe output
March 1 dropped 15,000 tons, but
expanding in every mootb afterwards,
tbe indestry is now producing 300,000
tons weekly, and uosold stock? are
reduced to 122.923 tons, aod yet orders
unfilled will rrquire six to oioo months
work from most of the establishments
Prices have not changed tbe past week,
although demand tor some produots
improved a little. Tbe average of
prioes closes 119 5 per oeot higher than
Jan 1, for pig aod 102.8 per oeot
higher for products.

Investigation Started About
Seized Flour.
Washington, Deo 28 ?The ascer?
tainment of facto eonneoted with tbe
seizoro of American flour by Britthh
warships off the coast of Portuguise
Eist Atrio* has been oor.fided to the
United States consular agent at
Lnretz) Marques. Uodor tha iomruo
ttons sent to him by Secretary H*y
yesterday be will ascertain 9II of the
faots connected with tbo seizure cf the
fljur aod particularly to > namea of tho
persons to whom this fl.ur wa*
coosigood aod thr aotuat ownership of
the goods Tho department of state is
determined to do every thing proprr to
maintain American rights iu tbe matter
of neutral trade in this oaso. But so
far, tho department is in absolute
ignorance of any esseotiai fioM regard?
ing the seizures, aod cannot proceed to
make any complaint until it has made
sure of its ground It does not even
koow that all of tbo fl.)ur was seized as
was at first reported, and there is
ro?6on to believe tbat in tbe oase of at
least one consignment, the flour was oot
seized but simply diverted to another
port than Lorenzo Marques and there
left subject to the direction of its
Owners. Although this may also bo a
breaob of neutral privilege, it presents
a different oise entirely from a seizure
outright
To determine with accuracy all of tbe
elements necessary to tbe preparation
of a protest against a seizure of the
k'nd reported, neoersar?y consumes
moob time, and tbe state department,
tbe cffioials say, following tbe usual
oourso, oannot be expected to act
otherwise than in the line indicated
During our late war with Spain,
wherever a seizure was made by our
warships of a merchant vessel lad n
with suppiiea intended for Spaoii-h
ports, we politely informed foreign pow?
ers which undertook to protest that they
would be obliged to wait the usual and
regular action of our ptize court*
Thus, wheo a Frcnob ship was towed
into Charleston, notwithstanding the
representation by tbe French govern
ment, our government insisted 00
oatrying out all of the routine proceed*
togs of a prize trial Io one of tbe
oases growing out of tbat particular
seizure it was nearly two years before
tbe parties claiming to be aggrieved by
the seizure and detention of the ship
seoured a final denision of the case by
the supreme eourt of the United States.
Yet this oase was simplicity itself, com?
pared with ibe legal problems presented
in tbe stoppage of a British merchant
ship by a British man of.war, and the
search of a neutral cargo for oootrabaod
of war.

An Erroneous Idea.
An old fashioned idea prevails in
in many families that a very light
supper, such aa a glass of milk and
a elice of bread, ia necessary to pre
vent nightmare. But later experience
has proven tbat most growiog child
ren require a plentiful repast before
retiring of light, nourishing food.
Hunger, at whatever hour, of the
day or night it comes, is the demand
of nature for sustenance, and should
be gratified.
No alnep is the result of a too
empty stomach in many children, and
for such su ample meal is necessary
at supper time.
We have known restless children,
who were in the habit of disturbing
the household during the night, re?
stored to quiet and peaceful slumber
with a cracker and drink of milk
given them on awakening in tbe
night.
And the rule of "nothing to eat
between meals" laid down absolutely
for all members of the household by
some mothers is a mistake when
applied to the growing school child?
ren who come in from school "almost
starved to death" Their hunger
should be satisfied in spite of
theories.
