year with the corresponding period in 1870.
a marked increase is observable. both In
the number of failures and in the amount
of liabilities. The average under the lat
ter head exceeds the average in the three
months ending the 3oth ult. There is a
certain haziness always in conclusions
based upon statistics, which by moderate
dexterity may be made to serve almost any
imaginable purpose. The differences sug-
gested by Messrs. Dun, Barlow Il Co. AS
at least probable are, first, That failures
are more numerous among the smaller
class of traders, and fewer larger disasters
are reported and second. that the lines OF
credit have been gradually lessened aud
reduced. as there is certainly
less lost by bad debts in proportion to the
number who succumb." After all, how
ever, the data thus rendered relate to the
past, which is OF less interest to a business
man whose head remains above water than
the promise of the immediate future. 1t
is satisfactory, therefore, to know, that IN
the estimation of these Interpreters OF mer-
camille events, the indications of an inn
proved condition of trade are decided and
general. Increased activity with an I'M
provement in values, is noticed in several
of the great staples Of business; and we
are assured that "all the conditions form a
very considerable movement in those
forms of trade which rest upon the neces-
sites OF the people. A sensible warning
is uttered against the danger of exagger-
sting the hopeful indications OF Septem-
Der; but making proper allowance in this
respect, enough remains to justify the con-
clusion that the disastrous tide has spent
its force, and that steady though gradu-
al Improvement in business interests may
be anticipated.-NeU York Times.
