This is large balance, but il is probably
smaller than the result will show. Ii spec
dy and decided improvement In business does
not take place the unpaid balance must be
rery large, unless it is provided for and re-
duced through some other mode of adjust
ment. In these estimates ofthe probable
delinquency in our payments, We do not aim
at exactness, but proximate result, in Or
der to show that large defect will in oil
probability occur.
