PRICES OF COMMODITIES OXLY OS.73 OF THE PRICES IX 1SGO. Dun Si Co.'k . Review Annlyjr.es the Failure and Co ml Hi on of Trade Uradstrect's Report. NEW YORK, Jan. 4. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weeltly review .of traJo, which issues tomorrow, will sjvy: ' Failures for 1S91 are fully reported this week, being 13,881 in the United States and 1,836 in the Dominion of Canada. Liabilities in the United States were $172,902,836, and in Canada $17,616,215. Neither the decrease of over half in this country nor the increase cf over 40 per cent, in Canada is surprising, but the. statement shows that most of the decrease in 1he United State3 is in manufacturing liabilities, while the entire increase In Canada Is in the liabilities of trading concerns. A few. States, Including New York and Pennsylvania, show more failures than In ' 1893,1 and in a few Southern States the amount of liabilities is larger, but in Central and Western States very, much smaller. In, eleven of the last thirty-eight years reported liabilities have been larger than in 1S94 though for this year and 1893 the statement is confineS to commercial failures, as it was not In former years. The failures have been 12.3 in every thousand firms doing business. In the liabilities they have averaged $132.77 to each firm .in trade, and in proportion to the volume . of solvent business represented by all clearing house exchanges, $2.63 for every $1,000. , The complete review of different branches of business places in a clear light the fact that prices of commodities are at the lowest level ever known.' Eight years ago. in July, -prices '"'averaged only 73.G9 per cent, of the prices for the same ' articles and in , the' same markets on Jan. 1, 1830, and this remained the lowest point ever touched until Aug. 10, 1893, when the average fell to 72.76, but early this year prices dropped below all previous records, and have never recovered, the average, Dec. 26, being only 68.73 per cent, of the prices in 1880. The range was very little higher at the end of .the , year, and about as -ow Oct. 25.- The "all'since a year ago has been 5 per cent., but very unequal in different branches.' In iron and steel products 14 per cent., in wool 13.4 per cent., in woolens and cottons about 15 per cent. These changes contrast sharply with the decline of wages paid per hour's work, which average only 1.2 per cent, less than a year ago. The condition of industries has been largely governed by the fall in prices, and while production is much greater than a year ago, the aggregate increase being fairly measured by the increase of 8.24 per cent, in hours of work done in November, compared with the previous year, it has been the controlling feature in almost every important industry that consumption has not kept pace with the output and has not sustained prices. In Iron and steel the lowest prices of the year are iit the close, and the lowest ever known, the demand calling for -less than half the usual quantity of rails, with large decreases in many other branches, though probably the use of structural forms was larger in 1S94 than ever before. The woolen industry records a production for the year about a quarter, less than normal, and for the "ast four' months 28.47 per , cent, less than ;n 1892 in quantity of wool consumed, but in value of product the decrease was of course greater. The year has been especially noteworthy for the lowest prices of wheat and cotton on record. Both suffer from wholly unprecedented accumulation of stocks, the crops being large. Outside this country wheat production has not increased enough to justify a price of 60 cents at New York, and the accumulation i3 largely due to false reports of yield intended to frighten buyers and raise prices. The same influence has been .felt in cotton, which is also affected by the world-wide depression in business and decrease in consumption of goods. In other produce markets the year has been relatively less important Ilrndstreet'n Interesting: Snmiiiary. NEW YORK, Jan. 4. Bradstreet's report io-morrow. will say : There has been no material , improvement in general trade within, a week., Jobbers and other wholesalers ,are sending out, or are about to send out commercial travelers, and in many instances "lliave not finished the year's .accounts and stock-taking. A tabulation of Bradstreet's telegraphic reports from the more important trad centers does not reveal specifically hopeful news as to an improvement in -business in the near future. In many instances trada revival is declared to depend on a settlement of the currency question. The most encouraging expressions of opinions are that msrehants are hopeful. Among more favorable conditions are reports, that stocks of goods of all descriptions in the hands of jobbers, manufacturers and retailers, West and Northwest are generally smaller than usual at this season; that the business in dry" goods, hats, shoes and millineries has been generally satisfactory and that bad weather has stimulated demand for coal and seasonable fabrics. Telegraphic communication in the Northwest on the Pacific coast has been interrupted by storm, and the movements of cotton, sugar and rice in Louisiana is checked along with demand. Less favorable is tho announcement of the lowest price on record . for iron and steel, bessemer, pig iron and steel billets., each having declined 15 cents u ton. The silver lining is found In an advance of 25 cents a ton in shipping rates to Northern markets from Southern points to pig-iron production. Print cloths are weaker and sell at a shade under lost week's quotations. Coal, too, is fractionally lower; pig tin Is lo.ver, as are pork, raw sugar, live cattle and hogs. Foreign competition with American woolen dress goods for spring deliverey is sharp and domestic fabrics ars father neglected, Although many mills are busy on orders for men's wear woolens. Following the list of decreases in' prices arc leather, lumber, coal, naval stores, coffe?. oats and cotton, for which quotations have been maintained. Cheaper grades of shoes at Eastern factories are higher, as are wheat and lard. Total clearings at slxty-nin? cities in the United States, officially reported to Bradstreet's, aggregate for the calendar year 1894, $44,995,000, -6 per cent, less than in the panic year 1S93. and 25 lass than in 1892, the year of the largest volume of bank clearings. Clearings for 1894 constitute the smallest aggregate for nine years. Total exports of wheat, flour included, both coasts United States (the telegram from Portland. Ore., not yet received), amount to 2.684.000 bushels, against 1.840,000 bushels a week ago; 3,896.000 bushels in the -.veek a year ago; 3,008,000 bushels two vears ago: 2.521.888 bushels in 1892, and compared with 2,076,000 bushels in 1S91. Available wheat. United States and Canada, Jan. 1. aggregated 127.009,000 bushels, 17,000,000 bushels more than one year befor?, 11,000,000 bushels more than two years ago and 49.000.000 bushels more than three years ago. Wheat afloat for and n Europe on the 1st inst. aggregated 57.744.000 bushels, a falling off of 22,200,000 bushels from one year ago, 10, .100. OOO bushels from two years ago and 20,700,000 bushels from three years ago. The most bullish feature of Bradstreet's regular monthly report of American wheat stocks is found in the net decrease of 689.000 bushels in available supplies in the United States and Canada during December last, whereas in four preceding years December available stocks of wheat here and in Canada each increased an average of between 4,000.000 and 5.000.000 bushels. Avr.ilivbl? wheat in the I'nitKI States. Canada, Europe and afloat for Europe, Jan. 1. increased only 113,1100 bushels in December. In December. 1S93, there vas a decrease of l3,0o bushels an I in th? year before a gain of G.558,000 brshels. The least bullish feature of the rest is tl'e supplementary report giving uncounted stocks of available Russian wheat at the interior. Th?se are reported monthly fro'n June 1 laxt, when they amounted to E.SUO.OOO bushels. Since then they have doubled the total, Jan. 1. Wi, twins n,o,C! bushels..

WHEAT AD COKX OI'E?."En WEAK AM) EVER RECOVERED THE LOSS. Ruili of the Chicago Longs to SeaTp Off a Sum II Profit Resulted In Breaking; the Market. CHICAGO, Jan. 4 After a weak opening to-day, wheat and corn rallied near the finish, but closed c lower for the former and c lower for the latter. Free selling caused the decline ar.d the rally in wheat was the result of reported liberal export business. May oats closed c lower and i provisions finished slightly higher. The demand for May wheat, which was so urgent at the close of tho market yesterday, seemed to have taken flight this morning. There was nothing to cause the desire to se'l which inaugurated the day's business, except the impatience of the scalpers, who, finding themselves with c or so profit in long wheat, made a simultaneous rush to secure it and defeated their object by their own impatience. Receipts were light, foreign markets firm and advices from the country of a generally 'bullish character. The price of May, which, at the close of yesterday's session, was 57& 57c, dropped at the opening this morning to 57c, with only a few transactions at c over that. Before it had any recovery it got a shakedown to, 57:37c. It was at the latter point that ; the demand returned and about 12 o'clock the price had recovered to 57&57c. . English country markets were called firm and slightly higher. Continental markets were- also firmer. Primary market receipts amounted together to 236.C00 bushels. Country advices were numerous regaining 'the scarcity of wheat in certain sections and-reporting millers to be arawing from the elevators. New. York was weak for futures, but a good demand for spot wheat for shipment was reported. At -an early hour of the session fifteen boat loads were reported sold to exporters, some of it for France, the latter being, an unusual circumstance and said to be the only wheat sold at New ' York direct to France in two years. May closed at 56c. The trade in corn was moderatejy brisk for a time, but later It became quite slack and at the same time weak.- The independence or Illinois shown by New England, which appears to get: its wants supplied from other sources than this State, this season, and the consequent absence of demand for shipment from here is the principal depressing factor' in the market. The receipts were 313 carloads and 330 are estimated for to-morrow. May corn opened at 47c and 47c, dropped tq 47c, recovered to 47c and closed with sellers at 47c. Oats were easier and met with a rather slow sale. The early indications were for a steady and active market, but quite a good demand from shorts and few sellers present. Later, however; matters were reversed. Buyers scarce and longs offered freely. This and the influence of corn caused an easy feeling' and lower -prices. May sold from 31-c to 31c and back to 31c, closing at 30c. Provisions opened weak" on the hog receiptsoverrunning what had been considered the sufficiently heavy run as estimated yesterday. The Cudahy interest, which was considered to be heavily short, was the best buyer at the decline and took enough to cause a lively rally., A rise of 30c per barrel was effected fori pork; lard was advanced .10c and ribs .05c.. At the close pork showed a gain compared with its' closing prices on the day. before of 10c, lard a rise of .07c and ribs .05c.

Although the term "carat" is applied to diamonds as well as to gold, it does not mean the same thing. Used with regard to the metal, it expresses quality or line- " ness twenty-fcur carat being pure gold. ana twenty-two carat equal to coined gold. But applied to the diamond, carat means actual weight, and 151 carats are equal to one ounce troy. The value of a diamond is net merely so much per carat, irrespective of size, but increases in an increasing ratio with the weight of the stone. To give an example: If 20 be the value of a stone of one carat of the "first water" (that is, colorless and free from brown tinge), a stone of two carats would be worth 60 (or 30 per carat); one of five carats, 350 (or 70 per carat); one of ten carats, 2,200 (or 220 per carat). Thus, it is that when stones are found of a phenomenal size, their value is almost incalculable, and can only be approximately appraised by the most skillful and experienced experts. And thus it is that we so often hear of fabulous and utterly impossible valuations cf gems LEGAL ADVERTISE.1IETS, SHERIFF'S SALE.
