Failures in Canada.
THe number ot mercantile failures reported in Canada during the past three months is 163, with aggregate liabilities ef $1,715,982. For the corresponding | quarter last year, the failures numbered |
The inference is that the cheques endorsed | 130 with liabilities of $787,889. Fer by Blatch came direct from him, unless | the first nine months of the year, the they were endorsed by a third party. The; failures were 537, with liabilities of cash was not paid for the cheques to my re- | ¢5.832.552: against 479 failures and|
collection. If I had paid the cash for them | I think I should have remembered it. | Blatch always deposits the cheques for his |
j money he requires. There was one cheque | drawn by Judge Alley in favor of Blatch, | dated 2nd Sept.. 1882, for $6. I believe it | was included in this deposit.
To Mr. McLeod—I have no recollection of the payment of Judge Alley’s cheque. The cash book shows that I received it on that day.
Eowarp C. Jarvis —I am acting teller in the Merchants Bank of Halifax. The following cheques were deposited by the Merchants Bank of P. E. Island on the 4th September :—
Aug, 22.—Drawn by Sullivan & Morson io favor of Michael Brazil, payable toorder. Endors- ea by Brazil.
Ang. 31.--F. Mitchell, payable to A. Newbery or order. En- dorsed by A. Newbery. 9.50
The only person we know in connection with these cheques is the Merchants Bank of P. E. Island.

Parker CaRVELL (recalled—examined by Mr. McLeod) — Note produced.—My father gave me this note on Friday evening. He gave it me on Friday evening and told me to take it ard give it to Mr. Aitken. I went upstairs and put it in an envelope and addressed it to Mr. Aitken, and put it on his desk. I did not like the way I ad- dressed the envelope and so I addressed a second one. I thought I had taken this note out of the first one and gave it a tear. Just when I was tearing it, I noticed the note was in it. I then took it out of the torn envelope, and put it into the other
envelope. I waited till Mr. Aitken came in. Ishowed him howI had tornit. He ,aaid, ‘* Give it to your uncle Albert.” My
uncle came in shortly afterwards and I gave it to him, and he patched it as itis now. I saw him patch it.

A great prcfit must be made in order to meet the current expenses, and to pay the high rates of interest. The increase in the number of stores gave a keen competition to the trade, which resulted in the inevitable breaking down of weak firms. To start a busi- ness fairly, some self capital is needed, and the soouer that is learned the better.
Another cause of the increased number of failures is the mad and reckless speca- lation which has taken place during the past year. The haste to be rich seizes the business man, and often proves his ruin. He goes on ineurrivg risks; plays, as it were, for high stakes, casts all his prospects on the chance of a lucky
throw, and finds himself. a_ ruined man. In looking over the list of failures
the speculator stands pre-eminent. The lesson is plain evough, but it will scarce- ly be heeded. Merchants and busivess

Men must give all their time and energies to their respective callings; must carry on their trades under the eternal Jaws of fairness, honesty, and truth, and then there will be but little fear of failure.

Frevertck D. WteLane.—I was present with Mr. Stumbles on Kent Street on Thursday evening, the night of the pe-r- formance of the Bell Ringers. I was pass- ing his place. I only spoke with ‘Mr. Stanibles on that one occasion. 1 met him at the corner of the Livery Stable gate on Kent Street. He was alone when I met him. It would be between five and six minutes toeleven. I stood talking to him frem ten to twelve miputes. I saw Mr. Blatch (whom I now recognize) come along, | should suppose about four or five minutes after met Mr. Stumbles. When he arrived, he hesitated for a moment and then he passed behind me and went in the gate way. I talked with Stumbles for a very few minutes after he arrived, and then left. Blatch had gone into the gate. When I left it was four or five minutes aftereleven. I did not make any particular note of the time that elapsed between Mr. Blatch coming and going into the gate, and my leaving Mr. Stumbles. I know it was after eleven because the clock struck while I was speaking to Mr. Stumbles I remem- ber the faci distinctly. When Mr. Blatch arrived, he was walking. A Bnggie passed going west, and after that Mr. Blatch came walking. left the Hali with Dr. Creamer; and, instead of going my usual way, } went with him around to his house, I was talk- to the Do->tor for several mi: ues. .

Frauds on the revenue are reported from all sides No ‘ess than a third of a million is missing at Newark, N. J., and several respectable and prominent officers are believed to be implicated in the fraud. What is the matter? Is the comet having a demoralizing effect on these persous? Somethivg is certainly
wroug, and the sooner the wrong is remedied, the better. Many of these defaulters are ‘ promising’
young men, and others are persons living in an extravagant way. Those who want to cut a dash in the world must have money. The temptation of the day is to live beyond our means. It is thought more commendable for the young man to ask his butcher to send down the leg of mutton which is not paid for, than for the young man to carry home a piece
'of pork which has been paid for. | Extravagant society; living beyond the
income; going into debt for fineries, rather than going without them; these are the causes of the defalcations, robber- ies, and rnio, which are now being discov- ered on all sides.
