Ever Known. The annual circular of I.' Steuart gives the re- ceipts of coal at this port in 1896 at .1,296,900 tons, against 1,415,200 tons in 1895.

' " The circular says: ."In my annual report of ' last year I stated that the people of tne State had reaped the benefit of cheaper fuel than ever before known In the history of.California. The year just ended, however, "outstrips »li previous records In respect to prices of Australian coal, low grade steam coals from Australia having been fold here in considerable quantities by the cargo 'as low as $3 75 per ton, while prices of English anthracite coal have ruled higher than last year; the highest price of Australian coal during' the" year being H5 25 per ton. -and IkMhighest price of English . anthracite coal $6 75 ton:, the average reduc- tion in crice-of Australian coals this year, as against ttie previous ear's prices, being $- 60 per ton, and the average increase on price of English anthracite coal being $105 per ton during. same periods. ."\u25a0"' - • \u25a0 "It-isgratifying to note that the consumption of coal throughout the State for the year now ended has been mlly up to tne average, notwithstanding the fact tha oil. water power, electricity and natural gas nave been utilized Co a arge extent tor power .and other manufactu tingpurposes, super- seding the use of coal in such instances, which certainly is satisfactory evidence of the pro- gressive and growing requirements of the State. \u25a0"With all these aids to prosperity _ the State lar-ks one most essential element necessary to promote its more rapid growth and general devel- opment, ami that is cheap Internal transportation.

Dun <- Co. inth*»ir weekly review of trade Saturday, Janu- ary, 2, willsay : There have j been more commer- cial ;failures in 1896 than In any previous year except 1893, about 14,890 against 13,197 last year, an increase in number of about 12 per cent and ln liabilities of 29 per cent. The year closes with an epidemic of failures, mainly at the West and in banks, loan and trust companies, or concerns dependent on them. The action of clearing-houses in various places mdi- ! cates 'no want of confidence and several banks which have failed will be enabled to pay in full, but disclosur-s of unsoundness in a few widely known institutions in the abnormal state of popu- lar tee;ln_ after an extended contest on monetary Issues mis caused distrust and suspicion where it is frequently undeserved. There has been no monetary pressure' to cause trouble, nor have importations of products de- clined in value. There has evidently been ' too liberal assistance given by some fiduciary con- cerns to speculative operations. No drain on Eastern f tiuds has resulted since the first alarm at the large failures. Failures often grow more frequent as annual settlements approach. 0 The year 1896 has been one of singular and con- fusing fluctuations in process, of which very lull detai.s are given. Wheat rose to 81c February 8, fell t060%c June 29, and rose to 92c December 9. Cotton started at 8.31 c, with stories of scanty sup- pi fell so 7 62c March 6, rose, to 8.37 May 7: dropped to 7.05 c July 16, when a heavy surplus was pressing; rose to 8.87 c September 10; with stories . that the new crop was ruined fell to 7, but closed at 7:12- f ..'-\u25a0•? • Wool rose at an average of $14 70 for all domes- tic grades February 1. fell to $12 16 -eptemberl, rose to $13 66 ; December 1, and has since de- emed. Iron »nd its products rose 3 per cent to April 1and then declined every month to Decem- ber 1, Inall about 20 per cent. since rising slightly. Boots aud shoes tell 13 per cent in the spring, against leather 18 and bide <21 per cant. Then shoes rose gradually 20 per cent to December and leather 17 percent, but has since' fallen '3 percent, ; while bides ruse 25 per cent to July 3, dropped 22 percent to July 8, rose 50 per cent to Novem- ber 4, and have since declined 13 per cent. cotton goods were at be highest point January 1. fell 17 per cent to' August 6. rose 7 per cent to November and have since declined about 2 per ceuv \" . " '' \u25a0 i . The Incongruity of these changes shows what ob- stacles business has bad to face. In none of the Industries mentioned bas there been activity the past week. 'Holiday dullness has oetrn intensified j by the failures ana the efforts of great combina- . tions to make new arrangements. 'With iron, coke, ; wool, co ton and bides a.l somewhat lower, there is almost universal 'confidence that | business will \u25a0 soon become large and safer tban for a long time. The cotton-mills have enormous stocks of unsoid goods in seme lines, the surplus of priu: cloths be- ingthe larges. ever known and' about a quarter of a year's cousump;lou." . Wool sales dropped 24 percent in the first four month and were (-mailer than tor five years: de- creased 56 per teat* in the .second four., mouths, when new wool was coming forward, and were , 'much th- smallest ever, known, except in the panic of i 873, but. enormous sa cs, mainly specu- lative, made the trade during the 1..5. four months equal to that of last year. The volume of busi- ness during 0 i 896 has varied remarkably. Pay- ments through tbe ciearing-bouses I were slightly lower iv each of, the first four mouths than in 1895. but 20 per cent' smaller than In 1892. In - the six months. May and October Inclusive, pay- ments weie every month smaller, than last year, - 16 ncr cent in September, and inthat month and October about 24 per cent snuii>er than in 1892. •In .November a small Improvement over 1.-96 appeared and the decrease from 1892 was but 12 cent, but inDecember payments Vvere 9.8 per cent smaller than last year, and 2.08 per cent smaller than in 1896. - " . " ° Railroad earnings were slightly larger than 'ait year In etch of the first seven months and smaller each month than in 1892. In Aug-mst and the lat- ter months theie has been iv decrease as great as 12 per cent In November from 1895 and. 6.2 per cent In August from 1892. . Wheat has rlaeii to ihe highest point since June, 1892, because Western receipts iff five weeks have been but 13,280,000 busheis,agai___st _!_>, 606,357 last mar., Atlantic exports, flour included, have been In five weeks 9,900.000 bushels and 10.413,249 last year."

-,-THE COAL TRADE. •

Trices During 1896 We're the Lowest-'."."" .'\u25a0'.'' Ever Known.The annual circular of I.'Steuart gives the re-

ceipts of coal at this port in 1896 at .1,296,900tons, against 1,415,200 tons in 1895. Last year'sreceipts were "as 'follows: -Australian, 241,600tons: Great Britain. 145.900: British- Columbia,437,100; Eastern, 17,700: Seattle. 134,200;TacOma, 263,900; Coos Bay, 49,100; other mines,4500. \u25a0 \u25a0\u25a0' . ' "

The circular says: ."In my annual report of'last year Istated that the people of tne State hadreaped the benefit ofcheaper fuel than ever beforeknown Inthe history of.California. The year justended, however, "outstrips »li previous records Inrespect to prices of Australian coal, low gradesteam coals from Australia having been fold hereinconsiderable quantities by the cargo 'as low as$3 75 per ton, while prices of English anthracitecoal have ruled higher than last year; the highestprice of Australian coal during' the" year beingH5 25 per ton. -and IkMhighest price of English. anthracite coal $6 75 ton:, the average reduc-tion in crice-of Australian coals this year, asagainst ttie previous ear's prices, being $- 60 perton, and the average increase on price of Englishanthracite coal being $105 per ton during.sameperiods. ."\u25a0"'

- •\u25a0 "It-isgratifying to note that the consumption ofcoal throughout the State for the year now endedhas been mllyup to tne average, notwithstandingthe fact tha oil. water power, electricity andnatural gas nave been utilized Co a arge extent torpower .and other manufactu tingpurposes, super-seding the use of coal in such instances, whichcertainly is satisfactory evidence of the pro-gressive and growing requirements of the State.

\u25a0"With all these aids to prosperity _ the Statelar-ks one most essential element necessary topromote its more rapid growth and general devel-opment, ami that is cheap Internal transportation.Wuen this has been achieved then an eia of trueprosp rlty-cnnrrot fall to dawn on us. • •

•Tne deliveries of coal at Port Log Angeles andSanTedro were-112^00 tons and at San- Diego40.0C0 tons, together 152,600 tons, making- theto-.al imports here and in the south 1.449,500tons." 9

•

The circular pf J. W. Harrison says: 'Our con-'sumption of coal this year is over 10 per eeut lessthan in 1895, which is an assurance that the out-going year has not been -a profitable ope for our

'manufacturing iiidn.wies. -There is no article ofcommerce whichso quickly evidences prosperity

-2 fore us. • •"Th- prices for coal have -been u-norecedently

low'.for 'tne past twelve month*, the lowest onreco-d; hence the failure of our local factories tomake n.o je-y cannot be attributed to tbeir tie! ex-pense. Tbe extremely cheap Australian, offeredhe.c has diminished th- imports of British (ouim-bU nud Seattle coals fully20 per cent, but valuesare now shaping :hems'-!

"The general belief prevails that this branch oftrade willprosper this year, as the rainfall to datehas been most seasonable, and the outlook is most-encouraging forour cereals fiuding'remunerativemarkets. A houutifu. harvest means a profitableyear for all interested oiu the coal and metaltrade."

DUN'S REVIEW OE-TRADE.

NEW YORK, N. V.,Dec. 31.—R. G. Dun <- Co.inth*»ir weekly review of trade Saturday, Janu-ary, 2, willsay:There have jbeen more commer-cial ;failures in 1896 than In any previous yearexcept 1893, about 14,890 against 13,197 last year,an increase in number of about 12 per cent and ln

liabilities of 29 per cent.

The year closes with an epidemic of failures,mainly at the West and in banks, loan and trustcompanies, or concerns dependent on them. The

action of clearing-houses in various places mdi- !

cates 'no want of confidence and several bankswhich have failed willbe enabled to pay in full,but disclosur-s of unsoundness in a few widelyknown institutions inthe abnormal state of popu-lartee;ln_ after an extended contest on monetaryIssues mis caused distrust and suspicion where it

is frequently undeserved.There has been no monetary pressure' to cause

trouble, nor have importations of products de-clined in value. There has evidently been

'too

liberal assistance given by some fiduciary con-cerns to speculative operations. No drain onEastern ftiuds has resulted since the first alarmat the large failures. Failures often grow morefrequent as annual settlements approach. 0

The year 1896 has been one of singular and con-fusing fluctuations in process, of which very lulldetai.s are given. Wheat rose to 81c February 8,fellt060%c June 29, and rose to 92c December 9.Cotton started at 8.31c,with stories of scanty sup-pi fell so 7 62c March 6, rose, to 8.37 May 7:dropped to 7.05 cJuly 16, when aheavy surpluswas pressing; rose to 8.87 cSeptember 10; withstories .that the new crop was ruined fell to 7, butclosed at 7:12- f ..'-\u25a0•? •

Wool rose at an average of$14 70 forall domes-ticgrades February 1. fell to $12 16 -eptemberl,rose to $13 66 ;December 1, and has since de-emed. Iron »nd its products rose 3 per cent toApril1and then declined every month to Decem-ber 1, Inall about 20 per cent. since risingslightly.Boots aud shoes tell 13 per cent in the spring,against leather 18 and bide <21 per cant. Thenshoes rose gradually 20 per cent toDecember andleather 17 percent, but has since' fallen '3 percent, ;while bides ruse 25 per cent to July 3, dropped 22percent toJuly 8, rose 50 per cent to Novem-ber 4, and have since declined 13 per cent.

cotton goods were at be highest point January1. fell 17 per cent to' August 6. rose 7 per cent toNovember and have since declined about 2 perceuv \" . " ''

\u25a0 i .The Incongruity of these changes shows what ob-

stacles business has bad to face. In none of theIndustries mentioned bas there been activity thepast week. 'Holiday dullness has oetrn intensified jby the failures ana the efforts of great combina- .tions to make new arrangements. 'With iron,coke, ;wool, co ton and bides a.l somewhat lower, thereis almost universal 'confidence that |business will \u25a0

soon become large and safer tban fora long time.The cotton-mills have enormous stocks of unsoidgoods inseme lines, the surplus of priu: cloths be-ingthe larges. ever known and' about a quarter ofa year's cousump;lou." .

Wool sales dropped 24 percent in the first fourmonth and were (-mailer than tor five years: de-creased 56 per teat* in the .second four., mouths,when new wool was coming forward, and were ,

'much th- smallest ever, known, except in thepanic ofi873, but. enormous sa cs, mainlyspecu-lative, made the trade during the 1..5. four monthsequal to that of last year. The volume of busi-ness during0i896 has varied remarkably. Pay-

ments through tbe ciearing-bouses Iwere slightlylower iv each of, the first fourmouths than in1895. but 20 per cent' smaller than In 1892. In

-the six months. May and October Inclusive, pay-ments weie every month smaller, than last year,-16 ncr cent inSeptember, and inthat month andOctober about 24 per cent snuii>er than in1892.•In .November a small Improvement over 1.-96

appeared and the decrease from 1892 was but 12cent, but inDecember payments Vvere 9.8 per

cent smaller than last year, and 2.08 per centsmaller than in1896.

- " . " °Railroad earnings were slightly larger than 'ait

year In etch of the first seven months and smallereach month than in 1892. InAug-mst and the lat-ter months theie has been iv decrease as great as12 per cent In November from 1895 and. 6.2 percent InAugust from 1892.. Wheat has rlaeii to ihe highest point since June,1892, because Western receipts ifffive weeks havebeen but 13,280,000 busheis,agai___st _!_>,606,357 lastmar., Atlantic exports, flour included, have beenIn five weeks 9,900.000 bushels and 10.413,249last year." The exports from New*ork Decem-ber were 6 per cent larger and imports 12per centsmaller thanlast year.- °;.v ;
