PERHAPS the annual report of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company affords as
good an example as can be found of the state
of business during the year. The fiscal year
ending June 80, showed falling off of S7O,-
600 in gross receipts, and $250,0O0 in net
profits, consequent upon the dizziness in bust
ness. The account since then, however,
shows an increase in profits amounting to
100000 month. This may be taken as a
strong indication of revival in general bust
ness during the last few months.

debt for thirty years at four or five per cent.
interest per annum. He finds he cannot settle
the debt of Louisiana, because he cannot find
