Credit and its Rules.

The Mercantile Journal of May oath has
an able article on the above subject which
concludes with the following statements
If we would then draw some final concu-
sions from the views we have here presented
on subject that so gravely interests all
classes of business men, we might formalize
them in something like the following shape.
If a man asks us for credit, we would in
quire-
1st. Is he honest 2 I'd. Is he capable Sd
Does he understand the business in which
he is engaged 4th Is be prudent, temper
ate. economical, industrious and energetic
This is much to ask, and upon the ans
wers must rest the judgment we form of the
character of the man with whom we are
about to transact business. All these in
quiries having met with completely satisfac-
tory replies, we come to the second LAYER of
the foundation, viz his means and must
furthermore ask, 9TH. Has he sufficient cap
ital available against misfortune? ? 9th. Is
his capital such in nature and amount as to
ensure an adequate margin against the risks
of his business ?
The solution of the whole matter lies in
the result of this or a similar interrogatory
and a thoroughly prudent and intelligent
man of business will be influenced thereby.
as to whether or not he will grant the cred
it requested at his hands. The accommoda-
tions that those who are not prudent and in
telllgent concede, are sources of danger to
both parties. He who receives is as much
mperilled by them as he who gives
In laying down these rules which seem to
combine the practical experience of the great
business world of modern times, it is not in
tended to exclude a variety of cases that
may spring up where there is an intimate
and thorough knowledge between man and
man. The varieties and vicissitudes of hui
man affairs are so manifold, that every en-
tanglement cannot be foreseen. but II law
once established and admitted, is not in the
slightest degree, impaired by the grace that
is exercised in administering it. In a new
country like ours, exceptional circumstances
will arise, and these must be carefully con.
sidered as they come. But the one grand
rule that includes all contingencies and EN-
braces all difficulties in its purview, is, that
credit must rest not merely upon intentions
and book balances, but upon actual mercan-
tile character and unquestionable mercantile
means.
