The near approach of the end of the third quarter of the year renders possible an interesting examination of the number of failures occurring each week, together with a number of the more important embarrassments in the business world. Gauged by the record of failures in trade circles since Jan. 1, the total for 1884 promises to exceed the aggregate which was foreshadowed at the conclusion of the first quarter of the current year. In 1879 in the first quarter, the total was 2,350, from which there was a drop to 1,394 in 1880. From that on there has been a steady gain; in 1881 it was 1,986; in 1882, 2,146; in 1883, 3,189, and in 1884, 3,320 failures in the United States. In the first quarter of 1879 the number of business failures was 35 per cent. of the total for that year; in 1880 the first quarter's share was 32 per cent. of those for that year; in 1881 it was 33 per cent.; in 1882, 28 per cent., and in 1883, 31 per cent. The average of the five years named is thus about 32 per cent. for the first quarter. In considering this, in an article in Bradstreeťs on April 5, it was stated that "the total number of failures for the first quarter of 1884 being 3,320," and that on the basis of the average percentage shown it pointed "to a record of over 10,400 business deaths within the current year." This view was fully borne out by the weekly lists of failures for the first six months. During the past quarter, however, the prospect named has been intensified, and the outlook now is for a greater increase than indicated earlier in the year.
