rgp BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

We are in receipt Of an advance copy
of the quarterly report of the Mercantile
Agency of DUNN, BARLOW & Co., show
ing the number OF failures in the United
States and Canada for the past three
months and for the past half year, as
compared with the same periods In
1878, together with the amount OF liza
bilities.
"The failures for the second quarter
in the present year are l ,5S4 in number,
and So, O00, 900 in amount OF liabilities.
These figures are notably less than III
any single quarter of the past five years.
As compared with the second quarter OF
1873, the difference in favor OF the last
three months Is very marked, indicating
a decrease of over 900 failures in that
period, with decline in liabilities OF
SGT, 10000 in the quarter-a lessened
loss or lock up by bad debts OF over two
millions per week"
"For the first six months Of 1879 the
failures i'm the United States were 4,O5S
in number, as against 5,S25 for the fist
ak months of 1873. The liabilities in
the same period OF this year, are or ly 90
millions OF dollars, as against 100 mil
lions for the first six months OF last
wear. The difference in favor of 1879 is,
therefore, that there have been nearly
two Thousand 1859 less failures, while
the extent of liabilities show decrease
of over 65 millions-precisely one-half
OF what they were in the first six
months of 1878. Not the least gratifying
feature is the marked reduction in the
average Indebtedness of each failure"
"To show how completely reversed
is the condition of trade, 50 far as indi-
Gated BY these statistics, as compared
with last year, we quote sentence con-
tanned in our circular issued this day
one year ago, referring to the failures of
the first half of 1873: These figures OF
increase i'm failures and liabilities are OF
very grave import, Tor never before IN
an equal period in the history OF the
country have business misfortunes been
so numerous, or aggregate an amount oil
loss by bad debts so great To-day, in
contradistinction to this gloomy pic
tnre, it is our great good fortune to say
that never before in our experience in
the compilation of these statistics, has
the decrease in mercantile casualties
been so marked; in no previous period
has the comparison of losses by bad
debts been so favorable, as at the pre-
sent hour
'These figures, indicating a gain in
the extent Of transactions equal TO
twenty per cent within six months,
show that the feeling Improvement in
business is in no respect fanciful, but
based on substantial facts; and further,
that the increased transactions have,
perhaps, as much contributed to the de-
crease of failures as any other influence.
1t is certainly fact worthy OF most at
tentive consideration, that the condi-
ton of the country has so much inn
proved that a large and sudden gain in
the extent of its business has been at
tanned with a vastly reduced ratio OF
losses by failure. The conditions which
the business men has now to encounter
are so widely different from those preva-
lent, even less than year ago, that 1t
seems difficult to account for the change,
so rapid and so hopeful has the process
been

eve have the pleasure to state that

Of liquidation, and it is our firm belief
that all outstanding debts will speedily
be paid, and the work again pushed for

doubtedly arisen to delay the progress
ofthe work, beyond the expectations OF
its projectors. That those difficulties
will soon be removed, and the enter
prise resume rapid progress, We do not
doubt. This is the first statement we
have made since the troubles begun,
and we make it upon satisfactory proof.

the old crop is still on hand. France
