n The quarterly statement of r. G.
Dun & Co., reviews the business of the
country for the last six months, and
manages, some way, to extract little
oonsolation from the investigation. The
Inference is that on the whole business
Is slowly improving. There are very
few signs of Improvement In profitable
ness while the recovery and stability of
values are still very uncertain. But
there are conditions Of good crops and
reasonable prices, abundant money, q
settled political condition, sustained
public credit and the promise OF an
abundant harvest and better times. It
Is predicted however, that the crop of
failures will be still further increased,
though this feature is not considered as
20 unmiXed evil. 1t Is not anticipated
that the fall trade will be noticeably In
creased. 1t will he largely confined to
