not appear In the printed report. 1t
hardly seems reasonable to expect any
institution to be prepared to meet such
demands; but, as rule, all these TWEEN
tv applicants would be fully satisfied
in a good deal less than that number of
minutes, and be succeeded by another
twenty, to be served in like manner.
The wonderful rapidity and accuracy
with which this part of the work is
done, and which give the beholder a
queer sense of the cOmpany's CONNER
cial omnscience, are rendered possible
only by the perfect indexing and ar
rangement of the millions of tissue slips
which make up this gigantic cyclOpedia,
and by one of the Improvements in
method introduced by Bradstreet to
which made passing reference above.
This consists of a complete daily inter
change, between all the offices in the
chain, of the new reports and cOrrec-
lions which are constantly being gath
cred by each. This is costly plan to
the company, but one which has great
ly increased its usefulness to it's pa
irons. Another improvement which has
been introduced in the office here is free
telegraphc communication with city
subscribers by which the latter can send
messages to the Agency and receive re-
plies from it without expense to them
selves. The telephone, even, has been
pressed into the service, and the COM
pany's operator is in actual verbal COM
municatiOn with subscribers a mile
away. Their latest innovation, which
renders Bradstree7s book of reports the
most valuable of all works of this kind
was the addition last year of Il COM
plete gazetteer to the original book.
Under each state heading now appears
an abstract of the collection laws of
that state, also under each town head
ing the location of the place, whether
on railroad or stage line, the pOpula
ton, and whether it contains a tele
graph, post office, money order and ex-
provement which, like those previously
mentioned, and others which have not
the space to catalogue, is exclusive with
Bradstreet's, is system by which Il
patron who furnishes the Agency with
a list of his customers is promptly mott
fed of any change in the financial con-
dition of anyone of them.
The New York Office of Bradstreet's
occupies four floors, perhaps 75-l25 feet
in size, and comprises, beside the great
beehive of a business room where over
a hundred clerks are kept busily at
work, complete steam printing litho-
graphing and book binding establish
ment. The expenses of carrying on this
business are, as will be readily under
stood, very heavy. Its postage bill alone
amounts to from thirty to forty thou
sand dollars IL year, and its total annual
outlay for the collection and distribu-
ton of the information in which it deals,
cannot fall far short of three quarters of
million, and yet it sells TO its sub
Scribers the results of this enormous ex-
penditule from hundred up to several
Thousand dollars year, according to
what is required. | venture to state
that no merchant engaged in other than
strictly local trade can get half as much
value for any other equal business out
lay. RADIX.

Letter from Kansas.

A. C. Harvey, writing from BelOit,
Kansas, under date of Feb. 18th, says {:
1--WE are having fine warm weather
most of the time, snow all gone, winter
wheat looking finely, people only wait
ing for the ground to warm up to go to
working on their land.
Beloit is situated in Solomon Valley,
is at present the terminus of the railroad
from Junction City. Beloit is a city of
eight years. growth, and now contains
several thousand inhabitants; the bust
ness center of Mitchell County, in the
midst of fine fertile country. Thou
sands of bushels of wheat are brought
here and sold, finding many buyers
who pay 60 cents per bushel. 1t is also
fine stock country, beef selling for
three and three and One-half cents, live
weight. Fruits are abundant, business
seems lively, and every thing man has
to sell commands good price.
The climate seems good deal like
Colorado, only it has not been as cold
here this year, as it was in Colorado
after the snow storm of Dec. 10th. The
snow had not all gone when left the
first week in January, and great suf-
fering was reported among the cattle
in the ranches, but the cold was not
more intense than in many places
farther south. The people in Pueblo
claim they never experienced such
winter. liked Canon city much bet
ter than Pueblo; business was much
more lively. | saw good deal of
Kansas in coming here, spent some
days at Larned, then down to Newton,
Florence, Emporia, etc.; but saw no
place | liked as well as this valley. |
like the country much better than Col
orado, and find the same dry, bracing
air as there. l have seen many persons
who came here with weak lungs and
failing health, who ale now strong and
well, indicating good climate as we'll
as fertility of sOil.'
