About three weeks ago Harris fol-

asked me IL could help him with $1,000

have no transactions with him on the

doubt but that II he would

to loan he would probably let him

THE BUSINESS YEAR.

Business has been wonderfully well Instained
during the year, when all that has occurred to
cause depression is considered. Looking back
one finds that there almost constant complaint
Of dulness, and the course Of prices excited
general disappointment; yet the aggregate volume
of transactions was surprsingl. large, and exclu-
i've of speculation in stocks, probably larger
tban in any preceding year The continual COM
pIaint of inactivity was clearly due in the main
to disappointment of extravagant anticipations.
When it. is considered that the year was inter
rupted ny a Presidential election Of unusual ex-
element and that business was affected by u
martial failure of the wheat crop and injury to
cotton, by agitation Of the tariff question. ny
unprecedented storms in March and outbreaks
of yellow fever at the South during the fall, by
strikes and railway of unusual magnitude
and duration, ana by numerous failures of inn
portance in this country and in Europe, IL is
strange indeed that the volume of traffic and Of
sales has been so large.
The one influence which more than any other
controlled operations, first checking and depressing
business and afterward stimulating it, was the
agitation of the tariff question and the defeat
of Free Trade. With President Clcveland's
amazing tariff message fresh in tine public mind,
The agitation continued TO dcprcss manufactures
for six months No action by Congress resulted;
a bill passed the House which would have cut
off more than one-third OF the duties of pro-
tective character but the Senate had already be-
gun to prepare, through its Finance Committee,
measure in harmony with the protective policy,
which was aftcrward reported a substitute and
discussed until the long session ended Early
in June, when it wa considered probable that
great changes in the rate Of duties might be made,
the depression in industries reached its maximum.
The extent OF that depression may be inferred
from two records, showing the weekly output of
anthracite and coke pig iron about the first of
each month, and the average price of 0s qualities

in lead with the failure Of the chief operator in
October. and continual bsorption of more thao
$4,000 tons of copper by The French syndicate
which secured control of the entire output Of
the most important mines in this and other corn-
tries Coffee was also controlled nearly all the
year by speculation regardless of legitimate IN
fuenccs. and at times the speculation in stocks
was excited. though on the whole the year showed
in that department decrease of about a quarter
in volume of transactions The following shows
the average price of sixty active stocks at each
point of eliminating advance or decline during
the year, in comparison with the average price
of all commodities quoted daily for the same

Part of the decrease IN iron output In January
and February was due to the great strike of Read
ing and Lchish Valley workers, which ended on
the former road in the first week OF February
and on the latter after six months OF endurance
in the second week of March No other labor
difficulties approached these in Importance and
duration. and the defeat of the Reading operators
through the influence of Knights of LABOR, it was
held led to the speedy defeat of the organization
in their most important struggled strike on the
Chicago Burlington and Quincy and some other
Western railroads in July. Cotton spnners en-
gagged in a controversy which was settled III
March The collapse of the coke syndicate in
the same month was in part caused by dispute
about wages and great strike OF lron-workers
at Pittsburg in July ended after about Tort
night with the complete disruption of the Western
Iron Manufacturers Association. In the main
wages were fairly maintained during the year,
with less decrease during the time OF depression
than is usual at such periods.
The tariff agitation affected many branches of
manufacture until midsummer. when it became
clear that no bill could be passed until after the
election The attitude taken by parties in their
conventions then gave hope that the National
policy would be sustained and this expectation
was strengthened, gradual recovery of business
and improvement in manufactures continued
through the rest of the year. 80 rapid was
the advance in raw wool after the middle OF
September that the manufacture for a time
deferred from extending production, in view OF
large imports and low prices of imported goods,
but more recently there has been q marked IN
crease in production. The increase in output OF
iron has teen so great that each attempt to lift
prices has been checked; but the lowest prices
Of the year were made about month ago. when
steel rails are said TO have been sold at S25 at
