Figures of Detaulted Liabilities. “The ratio of defaulted liabilities to clearing-bouse exchanges was $4.37 per $1,000 against $3,25 last year and was $6.39 in 1893.

For the first time de- tailed mouthly statements are also published for the last quarter of the panic year, 1893, showing commer- cial liabilities amounting to $64,- 000,000. “The year closes with an epidemic of failures, mainly at the West and in banks, loan and trust companies, or concerns dependent on them.
