REFORMS IN PROSPECT.
N q P,osvune-

N.
The prophets are already out with pre-
dictions of a tremendous business season
These prophesies are predicated on the
favorable reports from the crops, and on
considerations of a general nature. 1t is
stated on excellent authority that several
very onerous taxes on commerce will be
removed this fall. At least steps are being
taken in that direction. For instance, it is
said that several towbost owners have
agreed to reduce the rate of towage from
$l25 per ton to so cents.
1t is further etated that the exorbitant
charge for pilotsge, that is 81 SO or $4 25
per foot, will also be reduced, as there is no
longer that necessity for the services of the
bar pilots which existed previously to the
construction of the jetties. In fact, it is
alleged by persons who are fully cOmpe-
tent to speak correctly on the subject, that
there IS really no reason why pilots should
be employed to bring the vessels into the
jetties, or take them out, but that the
ship0wners are afraid to run the risk of
invalidating their insurance by not taking
every possible precsution against accident.
In addition to these changes the river
freight on wheat from st. Louie is to be re-
duced from IL cents to cents per bushel.
1t is anticipated that arrangements will
be made by some Of the steamboat owners
to carry cotton for 33t c per bale; that is,
three bales for a dollar, where formerly
they carried only one.

ON THE HALF SHE'LL.
Business Outlook and Statistics for
the First Half Of 1878.

We are indebted to Major r. G.
Nicholson, the excellent manager
and popular gentleman, for copy
of the semi-annual circular of r. @
Dun d. Co.'s mercantile agency.
The public mind has in some
measure become prepared for this
revelation by the frequency with
which these misfortunes have been
chronicled by the press, but 1t re
mains for the agency to put into
shape the final results of the period
under review, and draw from the
compilations such differences as APP
pear to be warranted by the facts
presented. This has been done in
the usual exhaustive manner, and
we cOndense the following from the
elaborate document before us. For
the purposes of comparison we
group together the following state
ment, which will illustrate at q
glance the significance of the fig
ures for the past six months:
First six months in 1875, number
of failures, 1868; liabilities, $76,-
S44, 266. First six months in 1876,
number OF failures, 1900; liabilities,
$1OS,425,420. First six months in
1877, number of failures, 4, 749; liza
bilities, $99,6O6,17I. First six
months in 1873, number of failures,
5,S25, liabilities, $13O,S32,766.
The failures for the half year just
closed are thus shown to be in num-
Der over twenty five per cent. great
er than in 1877, while the liabilities
indicate a per centage of increase
still greater.
These figures are of very grave
import, if taken as an indication of
the state of trade, for, according to
the agency, never before in an equal
period, in the history of the country,
have business misfortunes been so
numerous, or aggregating an amount
Of loss by bad debts so great. But
before accepting these statistics as
true test of the present condition
of business, the circular before us
urges some consideration in mitiga-
ton Of the unfavorable conclusion
which would otherwise be inevita-
BILE. These considerations are brief
~ synOpsised as consisting of an
unusually open winter retarding
sales, deliveries of produce, and col
lections; the discussions in and out
of congress of financial measures,
and the necessary condition of un-
certainty that resulted; the posi-
bility of important changes in the
tariff; the postponement of the date
of the repeal of the bankrupt law,
and finally the steady decline IN
prices of merchandise, and the gen
eral shrinkage of values, which, it
is said, have been more apparent in
the past six months than ever be-
fore, especially whenever it became
necessary to realize Memphis
Ledger.
