THE susISEss OUTLOOK.

The business prospects OF the country
being a subject OF absorbing inter, st to
all classes Of people al this time, the
views Of those who speak with apparent
authority from their advanced positions
in the commercial world. are eagerly
sought for. The Chicago San. the new

though slow Improvement indicated in
almost every branch OF trade and indus
try, there are many who can see moth
lug encouraging in the outlook. II Is
true our import trade has fallen OF
about Ii per cent. and that our exports
have not increased. VT the balance Of
trade is largely IN u favor. We are
selling more abroad than We buy. and

And really, if the cyclones, and earth
quakes, and epidemics, and "wars and
rumors of wars" of the years 1882 to
1885 are to be eclipsed, the prospect is
not an agreeable one.
