A Candid Mercantile Confession.

The mercantile agency is great in
stitution. 1t exercises maternal care
over the interests of merchants, and it's
effect on the trader on the brink of in
solvency is as bomb shell from the
British fleet in one of Arabis forts.
Those agencies have printed circulars
which they send to parties doing bust
ness, to fill out, and return to them.
The questions in those circulars are of
a decidedly pointed character, for the
mercantile agency is not modest in its
search for information. A few days
ago one of these firms sent circular to
a gentleman doing business at certain
seaside resort, and received their blank
promptly filed out Each question had
a large pile of heterogeneous after it,
and few Of the answers will give an
idea of the veracity and promptitude
with which the agency's curiosity was
satisfied. After some inquiries as to
business, age, ETC., the agency asks:
GLOW much did each partner contri-
butte at startingr'
Answer: '.Nothing".
''Did any of the partners ever fail in
business?'
Always
when, and where, and in what
formp"
whenever any firm would trust"
Amount of stock on hand?"
''One quart of whisky, seven cigars,
and three bottles of sour claret."
Then the agency inquiries under the
head of liabilities:
''Owing for merchandise"
Answer: More than tongue can tell"
SIN what month do you usually take
an account of stock?''
"When the moon is at its full"
''With whom do you bankr
William Briggs and Harry White"
''Names of principal creditors and
amount due each?"
From the corner of Kearny and Mar
let streets running due east to the wa
ter front, thence to corner Kearny,
thence to beginning Kearny and Mar
ket, have scooped them all in"
References"
''All of the bill collectors OF the city,
the professional duns and the Bankrupt
Court. Respectfully"
There are few men in business who
would be so candid with a mercantile
agency. And the strangest feature of
this remarkable document is that it il
true in every particular.-San Francis
