TgE SEPVJdN SITV1TION.

From the Danube around to the Save, over
the Turkish frontier Of Seryia, a dense mist
still seems to hang. We see indistinct masses
of men moving to and fro; ye hear war-cIico
and noises Of battle; we catch glimpscs of adj
yanccs and retreats; lut the cOlOrs Of the
standards are lost before the eye can detect
to which side they belong. Here and there
the mist rolls back little, and we are able
to guess the fortunes of last weeks or last
foltnights fighting, mainly from the relative
position Of the foemen; but when we attempt
to follow the latest movement the cloud
gathers again thicker than ever
Yesterday, for instance, telegram from
Belgrade informed us that the Turks had been
sicnally defeated before Bcjina on Thursday
last Another telegram from COnstantinopIc,
of the same date, announced defeat Of the
Scrvians at the Same place. A third telegram
from Ragusa, referring to the same fight, seems
TO confirm the Turkish side of the story. But
we must remember that it is simply Impossible
for any news OF battle before BCGina on
Thursday 10 have reached Ragusa by Satur-
day so that the first and second accounts are
left to contradict each other. On the Servian
left, from AlcxDatz to Saitschar, the reports
are equally confusing; yet they leave us
the strong inference that Gen. Tchernaych
has been held in check, that Gen. Lcschann
has been ropulscd at lsvor, and that in adj
vance of or along the lne'of the River Tmok
will be the main front of the Turkish attack
Their Generals apparently content themselves
with holding the fortified places in the valley
of the Drina, and are pressing upon the Scryan
center with great energy, in the hope of gain
ing some decided advantage before the arIi-
val of the Montcnegrin army on their left
flank. AS we stated week ago, if the Ser
vians can hold their present line little while
longer, until Prince Nikita is within support
ing distance, their chances will still remain
good.
Both the movements of the Turkish forces

There was evidently much unpaaabIc truth
in tbc article in Yesterdays TRIBUNE showing
that while the panic had reduced prices about
twenty per cent there had been no correspond
iug reduction in the cost OF living, for we
have found no person who believes word oi
it. Nevertheless the figures are lndlsputabie; (;
the repugnancc to accepting them arises
simply from disincinatiOn to confess that we
have not cconomizcd. For after all that IS
claimed the plain truth remains, that we have not
recovered from the extravaganza INTO which
we plunged during the periods OF the war and
"sott money! The failure to economic III house
hold and living expenses Is not the only blundcr
we have made. There has been no general
curtailment in individual spcculatiohS or
in public expenses. Citizens are becoming
bankrupt every day by the failure OF long
continued and hopeless real estate ventures;
and the debts of already oycrbuldened cities
increase from year to year in consequence of
the prosecution of unnecessary works. In tins
city there are not merely hundreds, but thou

demands. I'm spite of Controller Green's econ
omy the city debt goes up regularly and with
ii the taxes.
Individually we have taken advantage of
the fall in prices mainly by increasing the guam
tity or improving the quality of what we con-
sumc. The tea with which We were satisfied
at 81 pound is not good enough at 80 cents,
and 50 we use the better quality, reduced
from 81 % to 81. American broadclOth,
which wc used before the panic, has been
abandoned since the reduction for Imported
French cassimcrcs OF course there is no
practical economy in this. 1t is those who
practice this false system who now assert that
there has been no ical decline in prices. As
far as they are concerned, there will probably
be no reduction in their cost of living when
the return 10 specie payments shall s;ill fGr-
ther Tut down prices and reduce incomes.
This latter is Il consequence of u return TO Il
substantial money basis far more certain than the
further reduction OF the cost Of living. There
is the greater reason therefore for preparing
for it hy abandoning the habits OF cXtraya-
gancc which are grown 80 familiar that we do
not recognize them. Extravaganza is habit
OF dissipation much more easily acquired than
corrected II will demand no mean effort to
throw of It's hold There is no "taTcrins oii'
as in some other forms of intOxication. The
resolution To ocQnomizc must be accompanied

will be found harder TO acquire because of the
need to uncarn the other
1t is time to begin the lesson. So long as
money is comparatively plenty salaries and in

of goods and products. When money is con-
tractcd and becomes more valuable the in
comes will fall more rapidly than the price of
products. Wise men will set their houses in

pplTJCH ENPORIS.

The most remarkable change in British eX-
norris TO this country since last year has been
in the textiles. In previous years the deciihe
in cynorts of iron and steel WAS very great
but the Guantity exported by Great Britain to
this country had fallen to 1882 tons during
the first six months Of 1879, so that very
great decline was not to be expected ohiy
7S. 3G7 tons of iron and steel were exported
from Great Britain to this country during the
srst six months OF 1876.
The EXPORT of cotton piece goods, however
declined from 40, 800 yards III 1919 to ol'-
A6I 800 wards in 1876, about one-third. The eX-
mort Of linen goods decIiucd from 59,05O,l TO
Az. .O69. 800 yards, about 27 per cent Inc
cxports of woolch and worstcd goods and ear
nets declined from 29,7S0,7O0 yards to 3D.
751. 400 yards-about 20 per cent The eX-
mort, of silk and satin declined from 2l2,922
wards 70 l25,71l yards-about Al per cent
of all textiles we received from Great Britain
durine the first six months Of 1879 l35,O
40 wards. and during the same months tins
wear only 9S,4OS,111 yards-a decrease OF
~ per cent, or nearly n yard OF cloth Tor
every inhahitant OF this country. No wonder
there is unhappincs, among the British cotton
spinncrs, for the decline IN that class OF goods
has been especially large.

tlious habits, his simple tastes, and his ever
lasting pigtail, he has invaded Queensland,

Indignation, jealousy, and fear. lie has a way
of growing moderately rich upon gOld-fclds
abandoned by less thrifty AMI patient Queens
landcrs, which is sufficiently aggrayating.
When the IIodgknsOn gold tract, in Northern
Queensland, was discovered, the whites aban-
doned the Palmer field and bctook themselves
to the fresh pastrragc; whcreupon John
squattcd upon the deserted diggngS, in
which he fGand very pretty pickings. Tn"
lIodgkinson mines hardly coming up TO the
exaggerated expectation of the whites, they
are now anxious to return to the Palmer.
John, however, IS in full possession, nor does
there seem to be any legal way of getting him
out. He makcsan excellent miner he is healthy
where the others suffer from fever he saves
where the others squandor he Is patient where
the others are eager; and be is pcrsistently
industrious. Moreover, once in possession, he
is n hard occupant to be rid Of He has way,
when he is prosperous in foreign lands,
of sending word to his relatives and friends
in the old country, while they have way OF

At this time last year the legal-tender re-
serve of the banks reached its maximum. The
New-York banks then held ST5,Ol5,OOO III
lcgal tenders the return OF last Saturday was
SJ7.1gS.2OO. As there has been no CORE
spondinely large sIiinkagp III business, or i'll
the probable demand for legal tenders FOR the
operatons OF the Fail, it is well to observe
what banks are weak in legal tenders. Since
il is probable that the reserve has now nearly
or quite reached its maXimum for this year.
it is reasonable to apprchend that those banks
which have failed, even at this time
when currency is most abundant, to
strengthen their reserves, may continue weaker
than others when the stress comes hereafter.
The legal-tcndcr average of all the banks now
amounts to more than 20 per cent OF their
less than 20 per cent of deposits in legal
tender. OF these, cight-thc Ncw-IoIk, Union,
Tradesman's, Leather, Republic, Marine, First

policy to which we have frequently referred,
hold specie enough to make good the reserve
of % per cent required by law, though hold
ing less than 20 per cent i'll legal tenders.
The others not only hold less than 20 per cent
in legal tenders, but less than the reserve
required by law in legal tenders and specie.
