If, within the course of such short periods, the sum of the

repayments from certain customers is, upon most occasions, fully

equal to that of the advances, it may safely continue to deal

with such customers. Though the stream which is in this case

continually running out from its coffers may be very large, that

which is continually running into them must be at least equally

large, so that, without any further care or attention, those

coffers are likely to be always equally or very near equally

full, and scarce ever to require any extraordinary expense to

replenish them. If, on the contrary, the sum of the repayments

from certain other customers, falls commonly very much short of

the advances which it makes to them, it cannot with any safety

continue to deal with such customers, at least if they continue

to deal with it in this manner.
