REPRESENTATION or { 1Sco,Tt. . !.

The New York Sun thinks 1t Is d mis-
take to look upon the marked falling
on In incomes, as evidenced by the In
ternal Revenue returns, as an index of
the comparative dullness OF business.
Business, (says the editor) has GER
tainly been less actice during the last
year than 1t was the year before, but
not to an extent corresponding with the
decrease In Incomes, The discrepancy
between Mr.. Stewards returns for the
two years in question is attributed
chiefly to the decrease in the value of
goods. So with all other merchants.
our merchants during the last eight
cen months have been sold without
proht-manY,t in fact at a sacrifice. 1t
Is impossible for dealers to make much
money under such circumstances, A
buyer may secure line Of goods and
before he can sell them again the price
has probably fallen SO that he will lose
money, Such experiences our mer-
chants have been constantly going
through during tie last year and hall.
AT the same time, however, the amount
Of business transacted has been large.
The sales OF the largest dry goods house
In the city--that OH. B. Clailin d Co,
-are said 10 have reached seventy mil
eat business they ever did. The fact Is
that much OF the complaint about dull
ness of trade results from the fact that
merchants are making no money, ow-
ing to the ,deprecia tion in the Yalne of
goods. The time Tor making fortune
in Year. has passed, and unit, values
reach their legitimate standard. Abusi-
ness incomes will necessarily be oom-
paratively light" Il, ~ : -. "a
