This is one .Scrooge, talking to Marley's ghost, and says "There's more of gravy than the grave about you!"
Scrooge says that Marley was always a good businessman, by which he meant he was good at making money. Marley as a ghost cursed to walk the earth for his sins in life, knows that making money was not what he was put on the earth to do. Rather he should have been helping his "fellow travellers to the grave" in their day to day lives, in a Christian fashion. So his first item of business should have been "mankind" with everything else a distant second. The suggestion is also made that Scrooge is thinking that he himself as a good man of business is doing alright in terms of his life. Marley wants to shake him out of this state of mind.
