r.. G. Dun & Co., of the Mercantile
Agency, report that the figures available
show a very considerable decline III the
volume of business at New York, which
is somewhat disappointing in view. OF the
fact that month of presumed activity Is
yet to be anticipated in purchases OF gen
eral merchandise. Payments have, now
ever, been very satisfactory thus TAR, ana
the amount of goods taken during the
season has yielded fair profit to the
iobbers, though the manufacturers have
not much to show, owing to excessive
production.
The condition of the South, however, is
SO much improved that even partial
failure of the cotton crop can be better
borne now than ever before, and II prices
improve as anticipated, the loss by under
production will be somewhat made up. 1t
is clear from showings made, owing to re-
cent failures. that the lines OF credit nave
become widely expanded, and that, as a
rule, the volume of indebtedness has been
unduly increased.
