ness of the year thus far, says: ga close esti-
mate OF the years outcome can now be formed,
as ten months OF that time cover not only the
dullest but busiest days in Meridian street
Merchants are reluctant in disclosing the inner
secrets or their business, and what the ~footings
show or profits promise are conjectures which
are measured by comparisons or shrewd guessing.
Enough is known to claim for the year no great
increase of incomes, and no Improvement in the
value OF goods turned over the sidewalk. This
may surprise those who have all along been Civ
ing credit to the street for a largely increased
total OF disbursements. To those in the trade
those whose contact with buyers and sellers
covers the whole of the business year-there is
no revelation IN our assertion. The reasons for
a non-increase of sales are two-fold: First, a
general cutting of of improbable accounts and
buyers; and secondly, the decrease in value of
merchandise as compared with the previous
year. This reduces the amount in figures, but
actually represents a greater amount in bulk of
merchandise handled. The results of the years
work are a purer ledger and a healthier profit
and loss account. Yet it must be confessed, and
that with some degree of disappointment, that
the tendency hes been and is toward a cutting
down of net results without a just and reascna-
ole decrease in expenses But this is a disease
which does not confine itself to Meridian street;
it is in the air of other cities as we'll, and it
needs but contact with the solid men in trade
lsewher to develop this dissatisfaction with
their yearly balance Sheets" There were no
changes in prices to-day which are worthy of
special note.
An easy feeling broods over the local market.
Dealers seem rather Indifferent, and vary in
their opinions as to the future of cereals. The
