By far the greater number of failures mongst native business hongs this year, were those dealing in foreign sundries. These firms thinking to take advantage of the recent favourable exchange bought large stocks of sundries which they were unable to clear and consequently found themselves short owing to dead capital in stocks for which there is no market.
