Tho functions of a credit man are not generally known to the public, but he is in many respects the most important person employed by a mercantile concern. Briefly, he is Supposed to be informed regarding tho commercial standing of every firm or individual with whom his owu house has any dealings, and the linn for which he works lias the exclusive benefit of his investiga- j tions. his knowledge and his exneri- I euco. It does not trust to him alone, of course, because in the case of a large house there would be rathor more than he could attend to. The i regular mercantile agencies aro depended upon for a certain amount of information, usually that which concerns the oldest and richest corporations, about whose solvency there is commonly no question. The credit man may, however, if his employers suspeet a necessity for it, be called upon to probe still further than the regular agencies go, in order to make assurance doubly sure. When a would be buyer from porno remote part of the country presents himself to a firm to which he is entirely unknown, he is introduced at once to the credit man. Tho latter receives whatever credentials the stranger has to offer, and if he is satisfied that the house will run no risk in selling to him he states the l'aot. and his judgment is accepted. Various considerations determine the amount of security which a new customer is required to show, and not infrequently it is stipulated that he shall have a real estate backing which is known to be responsible. The credit man also figures out at once the largest amount of credit which can be granted to the new buyer, this being determined according to the figure at which he is rated. Subsequently, as ho runs up bills for goods, they all pass under the credit man's watchful eye, and if it is found that the customer is close upon his credit limit the last purchase is often held until it is proved to a certainty that its delivery will entail no loss to the firm. This process of keeping track of every buyer's limit imposes a never ending task upon the credit man, and it is one which requires delicate handling too. While great caution is necessary, there must be as few needless suspicions as possible, for tnese are orien ine means 01 urivmg away perfectly trustworthy customers, who feel themselves insulted by the reflection upon their financial methods. In cases ^vhere there is ground for believing that a customer will bear watching, the credit man's investigations are very thorough. Ho inquires as to the private affairs of the buyer in question, finds out as nearly as possible tho amount of bis income and how his money is invested and keepB an eye as well upon the way in which he lives and spends. With every precaution, however, there are many losses, and it is the business of the annual convention of credit men to discover better ways each year of protecting mercantile interests.?New York Tribune. The Chnreh of Knglnd. From the Year Book just issued by the church of England it appear? that the income which comes to it from property owned, ancient endowments and regular government rrtvintc omnnrttc nnrmnllv to uimp. thing over ?5,750,000, yet the ex-1 pense of the church amounted last [ year to more than twice that sum, the difference baring been made up by voluntary contributions. In commenting on this state of affairs, one of the London papers says: "Thus we see that even now the in?, come which the church draws from her own property is only about half what she requires, while it is notorious that many of her clergy are still miserably underpaid and that in some large cities her resources are quite unequal to the demands made upon them. To suppose that in the case of disendowment another ?5,000,000 would be at onco forthcoming from private contributions is little less than absurd. Much of what is given to the church now is given to her just because she is what she is, the established church of the nation, with the many recommendations and advantages which she would no longer possess if disestablished." Here is an argument that stands up strong and tall until one remembers that churches unaided by the state get along quite well in England as elsewhere, though their supporters are forced to contribute also to the revenues of the establishment.?New York Times.
