Business Matters,

Reviewing tho business situation, the
Tribune says Business ia building
slowly on new and more solid foundations.
Those will prosper most who catch the
spirit of the time most promptly, throw
away false hopes, clear away incumbering
debts, cultivate economy and thrift, and
settle down patiently to earn wealth before
spending it."

roads have reduced the rates on grain, from
all Canadian points to New York and Bos-
ton, % cents bushe, and cents barrel
on flour. This reduction is made to meet
a reduction recently made by the Canadian
lines. and to promote the shipment of grain
via New York instead of Montreal.

Cen. shsrn.n snd ths Army.

General Sherman said In giving his
opinion to the house military committee
In reference to the new cavalry recruits
for the army: You all know that in o
battle you can only bring about two
thirds of the best organized force to the
front, and 1 would challenge any mem
Der Of the committee to say that he
could take 10000 men and bring 1000
into line Of BATTLE We have 652 men
unassigned to any regiment or organiza-
tion, engaged in recruiting service.
That may be the excess Of propriety,
but it seems to be the result Of expert
all means in my power, to reduce that
number. Then, we have 300 men charg-
ed as general service men-men who are
employed at the war department, at the
headquarters Of the army, and in the
different military divisions and depart
ments-who are, IN facts, clerks and
nothing else. Then, the ordnance de-
paxtment, which never< sends 9, man
into the field as matter Of course, has
1856 men enrolled, and charged against
aggregate Of $4,000 men. Then, we
have 230 men at West Point to aid the
young men there in their instruction, to
take care Of their houses, do police
work, etc. Ever since the revolution
ary war we have always kept from 100
to 200 men at West Point, therefore
there are 230 men there, a number
which Is not regarded by the authorities
as excessive II could Iwould reduce
it somewhat. Then we have 229 hos
pital stewards. You all know what
they mean. They do not take muskets.
Then we have 112 ordnance sergeants,
scattered along the sea-board, mostly.
OF course they cannot be brought into
the field in the Indian or any other war.
Then we have 151 commissary agents,
66 men as prison guard for Fort Leay-
enworth and 273 recruits who are avail
able and may be sent forward. This
makes nearly 5000 men out Of q, 900.
The remainder has not only to engage
in Indian wars, but has to take care
of an immense amount Of property
probably hundreds of millions Of dol
lars worth-all of which would be ex-
posed to plunder and all the accidents
Of common property were not these
men stationed as they are. Indeed our
five artillery regiments are mostly en-
gagged in guarding public property, but
recently, under the pressure, we1have
the rest to take care Of the guns, mag
azines, and property Of the most valua-
BILE kind, on which congress has expend-
ed hundreds of millions Of dollars. and
which II not watched would run to de-
cay or be carried off probably by people
round about. can account for every

As yet tho shipment of fresh beef as q
branch Of our foreign commerce has not
attained . position that admits OF an
estimate Of the probable success Of the
business; but from what can be learned
from shippers there does not seem to be
other than few minor obstacles In the
way as regards operations on this side
Of the ocean. The market on the other
side appears to be sufficiently large to
take all the beef that can be shipped
with the present allowance Of freight
room on the steamer.
