In seeking to account for the continued
large number OF these casualties, the
agency states:
"SOme interesting figures on this view
OF the situation may be CLEANED by COM
pairing the disasters in business with the
decline in its extent For the three
years, from the end of 1878 to the be-
ginning of 1877, the total number of fail
ures in the United States has been %, :
662. This amounts to less than per
cent. of those engaged in business mt Che
end of 1873. This is in small proportion
to the decline in the volume of trade. 1t
is difficult to arrive at any definite con-
clusion as to the extent of this decrease,
but if measured by the falling off i'll i'm
ports and the we'll decrease in the
production of manufactures, the internal
business of the country to-day is less by
80 to 80 per cent. than it was in 1873. So
that the number of Withdrawals from
business, by failure or otherwise, is far
less than seems either justified or de-
manded by the decline in the extent of
business to be transacted.
"With regard to the trade of the past
three months the extent of business is
indicated very closely by the exchanges
at the various clearing houses, of which
there are now some sixteen i'll operation.
OF these, thirteen made returns last
year, and comparison is therefore pos
sible as to the amount of transactions
represented by bank checks at these
thirteen great centers. The total clear
ings in the first quarter of 1876 were
$7,677, 900, 900, while in the first quarter
of 1877 there were 81, $50, 600, 900, show
ing a decline of 1927, 900, 900. The
earnings of all the railroads publishing
returns indicate decline in about the
same proportion for the quarter. The
decline thus noticed it is true is but
slight, yet on the face of an expected
increase is somewhat Disappointing"
In relation to this condition of things
he circular very sensibly says:
Though business has been small, it
has yielded fair return. In proportion
to the amount of business transacted the
profits have been better than for many n
previous quarter 1t is certain business
is done at vastly less expense than in
former years, that values are more set
tied, and, above all, that both foreign
and internal Indebtedness is very mate
rally reduced"
After charging upon the Bankrupt law
an aggravation of existing commercial
disabilities, the Messrs. Dun & Co. say
that the early prospect of practical
settlement of the Southern question is
regarded as marked contribution
toward return of more prosperous
times.

Organ Concert,

The NJ. E. Church of this city hav-
ing recently purchased a new organ,
Prof. Raymond the chorister of the
church has made arrangements with
Prof. Goodyear, Of St. Paul, to give
concert on Monday evening, July End.
Prof. Goodyear has the reputation of
being one of the finest organists in the
country. He has been giving organ re-
citals in the first Baptist church of St.
Paul and they are spoken Of very high
ly.
The organ purchased by the church
here is one Of Burdett's largest size,
with "a stops and Pedal Bass. There
is no doubt but that Prof. Goodyear
will give al entertainment which no
lover of music can we'll afford to miss.
In addition to four organ selections, by
Prof. Goodyear, the concert will consist
Of two choruses by "a singers, two
solos by Miss Graham, one by Prof.
Raymond, and two quartettes.
As the programme is very fine one,
and the proceeds are to be applied to
payment of the organ, it will deserve a
full house. Admission SOC.

SChLOSS. Bros,

We regret to announce the death
on Monday night last, Of Mrs. Nellie
Mclean, nee Sheldon, daughter of Mr..
7. B. Sheldon, OF this city. The de-
ceased was about twenty-five years of
age and was married last year to Mr..
John Mclean, son Of General Mclean,
Of Frontenac, formerly of Ohio. Her
last illness was not protracted but was
a season of intense suffering. This
seems an especially sad event as the de-
ceased was just entering life under the
most suspicious circumstances and
blessed with ample means and opportu-
mites of becoming useful member of
society. Her loss is deeply regretted by
q large circle of friends and. acquain.
tances, by whom she was greatly es.
teemed, and her afflicted parents and
husband have the sympa.hies of the en-
tire community in their deep distress.
She was buried yesterday afternoon
from the Episcopal church, Rev. DR..
Watson performing the last sad rites
on the occasion.
The handsomely furnished and
carefully kept dental operating rooms
and parlor Of Drs. w. H. s. G. H. Cra-
ry, in the second story of the post. Office
building, in this city, attract attention
from others than our own citizens. The
editor of the Zumbrota Independent has,
it seems, been there for the purpose,
most likely, Of having his teeth drawn
so as to render him less dangerous, and
he discourses thus eloquently and truth
fully about the apartments:
"While in Red Wing recently, we
happened in to the Office Of DR.. Crary,
the popular dentist Of that place. (The
Ztmbrota folks avoid calling Red Wing
a city, He has one of the finest suites
of rooms in this State, which are always
kept as tidy as lady's parlor. We
should judge from circumstances occur
ing during our visit that he has about
oil the business he has time to attend
to. DR.. Crazy is gentleman, and
skillful dentist and is and deserves to
be we'll patronized.''
We can entirely endorse everything
said in the above, although we frequent
" disagree with our Zumbrota contem-
porary. So far as Drs. Crary aud their
rooms are concerned his head is obvi-
ously fat-(beg pardon)-we mean leu
el, of course. #
