BANKRUPTCIES
FEW ON WEST COAST.
If the number of bankruptcies recorded constitutes any criterion as to the prosperity of a district, then the West Coast appears to have no cause for financial anxiety. During the nine months ended on September 30, only three persons filed. in bankruptcy at Greymouth, a contractor, a barman, and*a sawmiller. They were all recorded in the past three months, and there was a clean sheet during the first six months of the present year. A comparison with 1927 is very favourable to 1928, there being eight bankruptcies recorded at Greymouth last year, while the total in 1926 was six. The persons who filed their petitions in 1927 comprised two farmers, baker, fruiterer, sawyer, draper, butcher, and cycle agent. There were eight bankruptcies in Christchurch in September, 1928, compared with nine in September, 1927. There were 114 bankruptcies in Auckland during the nine months ended September. In the similar period of 1927 the total was 162, and for the nine months of 1926 the figure was 133.
