NP\V : YORK , Jan. S. nun's Annual Re
view contains an exhaunthe report of the
business of l&'i'i ' , tovirlng all leading mar-
UttH. A rcaumu of the situation follows1
I'r.l lui CN *
The fallurep of 1899 are the smallest rc-
portcil since 18S1 , with Dm lowefit average
of commercial liabilities ever repotted and
with greater evidence of coinnuiiclal sound-
iH'M and IndiUitilal prosperity than hn.s ap
peared la any other annual statement. U Is
ono strong point that failures have been
Hinnllor than In 1S9S or previous ycais , not
only In the aggregate , hut in evcrj section
of HID country , but what Is more , smaller
In trading in inery Hcctlon except New Kng-
1and , where the clothing troubles liuohod
Bovoral connected tonuinio with heavy Ila-
billtk , though their falluriH had nothing
to do wlfii tlio condition ot thtlr trade.
The liabilities of commercial failures In
dlffeient Hectlons nf the country are com-
