THE number of business failures in the United States has been rapidly increasing from year to year for five years past. In 1871, according to Dun & Co.'s annual circular, there were but 2815 failures; in 1872 there were 4069; in 1873, 5183; in 1874, 5830; in 1875, the enormous number of 7740. The heaviest liabilities were in 1873, when they aggregated $228,000,000. In 1875, they were only $201,000,000, and in the intervening year, 1874, only $155,000,000. Michigan had fewer failures in 1875 than in 1874, and her liabilities were less, which facts indicate the relatively healthy financial condition of this State. —Detroit Evening News.
