IN remarking on the above figures, the
Mercantile Agency in its annual circular
saws:
The above figures indicate q material in
crease in the number OF failures for the year
1881, and growth in the loss by bad debts
considerably over last year. An indication
OF this sort can hardly be interpreted TO be
u favorable sign as to the condition of the
country, yet, when comparison is institu-
ted between the failure figures OF last year
and those ofprcyious years, for instance,
1873, u will be seen that in the proportion
they bear to the casualties of that and pre-
VlouS years, both as to the number
OF failures and the amount of
liabilities, the result is not untavorabc.
II should also be rccollectcd, that while tho
failures and liabilities of 1881 are only
slightly more than one-half those of 1878,
the volume of trade is probably now four
or i've times as great as ii was then, while
the number of persons engaged in business
ls certainly eighteen,t TO twenty-five per cent.

those engaged IN business our statistics
show that IN 1876 the failures were in
every BJ persons; in 1877, in 70; in 1873, |
lnGi; IN 1879, | in lO5; in 1880, | in 1853, while
in 1881, the proportion was in 40. The

marked.

MUSICAL MERCHANDISE.
IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS

Messrs. Dyer & Howard have just received
from the factory several new styles of their
Upright Pianos, containing two very i'm
portant improvements. One of them con-
sists in very neat and ingenious nickle-
plated pedal guard, and the other an extra iron
frame on the back of the piano; in addition to
the one in front of the sounding board. This
extra frame makes 1t next to impossible for
the piano to get out of tune, and adds another
important element of excellence to the already
celebrated Dyer & Howard pianos. The in
struments may be seen and examined at their

One Price Marked in
Plain Figures.
WHAT IT MEANS.


The merchant who has but one price for
his goods and marks that price in plain fig
ures on the article he offers for sale, 80 that
his customers and the public can see them
evidently means to say 10 the people, look
ut our goods and prices, they speak for
themselves and invite your patronage, all
tricks of trade are raid aside and business
on the fair, square principles are intro
duced by IT once setting before the Gus
toner the best articles at the lowest prices.
II MEANS that We are counting the
custom OF the most experienced buy rs as
well Us giving an assurance tothe incXpe-
rienced that they are buying their goods
; a. cheap a. the Sharpest buyer.
ITMEANS that we are showing quality
and prices TO every one rs against all COM
petition, that We are always selling aS
cheap as the cheapest and that none shall
Undersell us.
II MEANS that we are not playing with
customers at the game of asking one price
and selling ut another, charging one Gus
toner more than another, and takiEg all
we caL get from the customer for an ar
tice. In other words we never charge
penny more 10 any customer than we can
afford to sell the article AT.
IT MEANS. Il confidence in our ability
TO manufacture and buy goods at such
prices as will enable Us 10 mark them at
selling price that ut once assures the buy
er that they are rs cheap or cheaper than
he can find them elsewhere. This Is sim
ply fair, square business and not indie
pendence, as some people suppose, because
we refuse TO ''knock Off something" when
they buy The fact is this plan means the
| knocking off when the goods are marked.
Stv i,rh

| have not only sold the same parties year

retailers in the United States and received
and filled during the past years the
largest orders ever given by any retail
house in the United States with demand
for our work fur beyond our facilities TO

| factory working of it in our wholesale

since to apply it 10 our retail department.
| The result has been most satisfactory in
