Merchants Busily Engaged in Estimating
Profits and Losses.
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan 2.
There was practically nothing doingin thc gon-
eral merchandise markets to-day, taking ac-
count of stock and reckoning up the profits and
losses of 1883 engaging the attention of most of
the merchants Possibly we are inclined TO take
a too respondent view of last years business, and
too much is said concerning the numerous fail
ures of the year, yet it should be borne in mind
that In no former year were the misfortunes of
business placed so fully before the public by the
mercantile agencies. 1t should not be forgotten
that while the aggregate of failures is large, the
number of traders doing business has increased
in an almost similar proportion. Thus, in. 1878,
there were $40, 900 names reported in business
in the United States, while at the present
moment the number exceeds 100000 act
i've traders Thus, it will be seen that
the failures of the past year, large they are,
do not bear any proportion to those occurring in
the worst year for failures in the history of the
country; for, while there are about 80 per cent.
moro names reported, the number of casualties
is not largely in excess of those of 1878. 1t is
true that, as compared with 1SSO-an exceedingly
prosperous year, when there were less than !, 900
failures-they are about double in 1883; but the
last three years have witnessed greater in
crease IN the number of people who have gone
into business than any three years in the history
OF the country. This circumstance alone will
account In no small degree for the excessive num-
Der Of small failures; so that we are not only
now neaping the harvest which to be
pected from the undue expansion of $780, but
also all the results Of fierce competition, un-
fortunate speculation outside Of Legitimate

business, inexperence, and, above all the re
suits of over production, which really seems to
be the chief cause of numerous disasters. Unlike
previous years in which mercantile casua ties
have been most numerous, the country. far from
presenting symptoms of exhaustion, seems to
lack no single clement contributory to its great
growth and prosperity. survey of the sltla-
ton may give some cause for anxiety, vet there
is much to he said which argues well for the
future Prices are down to hard-pon, business
men stunning reckless speculation, and
there is an abundance of money both East and
West.
There is little doing in the local grain markets,
and with the exception of oats the tendency is to
still lower prices. The Board of Trade Price
Current says of wheat: Considerably demoral-
lied is the verdict that is rendered against local
markets No interest whateveris seen either for
spot or futures; 96c was best bid on call for No

death" to the bulls at least. Scarcely anything

Eaton He defined the word Yankee" and
then went on with glowing words to recite
the history of Yankee achievements. Refer

the conduct Of Benedict Arnold without
mentioning his name. A democrat asked,
ironically, to whom he referred. "To Ar
mold. who am sorry to say afterward became
traitor to his country, but whose conduct
on the field of Saratoga was brave and pa
triotic. A litter ran through the ex-Confed-
crate ranks and Mr.. Hammond of Georgia,
seemed especially delighted. This attracted
Mr.. Eaton's attention and he blaxed out 81

Let me say that Arnold was the only New.
