capital which moves the wheels of indus
try. Thus far, there has been certain
accumulation of savings. but the current
flowing through channels OF investment
has been but slightly if at all increased.
Delay ia this respect is apparently due,
however, mainly to apprehensions in re-
gard to the course OF the Government, and
this. it is not impossible, may be removed
early during the new year.
Important with reference TO future invest
ments are the recent exposures of some
corporations and the convictions OF some
officials. The first effect would naturally
be to discourage investments. But it
becomes known that the authorities are
making vigorous efforts to root out fraud
ulent concerns and to secure honest re-
ports by rigid examinations, and this fact
gives to favorable reports and companies
of good standing a degree OF confidence
which they have not for years enjoyed. 1t
is reasonable to hope that two excellent
results will follow an increase in the in
vestments made with or through the com
paneS proved to be insolvent, and n USE
full concentration OF funds upon those
which show themselves strongest or most
trustworthy. 1t is now known that the ex-
posures Of last winter did much TO help the
best insurance companies, and later events
will undoubtedly strengthen the good
banks and trust companies. while making
them more particular in the selection Of
safe, and t er3iore permanently useful,
modes for employment eli means.
The foreign prospect is still very much
clouded and uncertain. Expectations OF
peace have probably produced nearly as
much fall OF prices aud change Of plans as
peace itself would cause, for there is no
general belief that Great Britain VIII al
tempt alone to rescue Turkey from Rus
sla, or to coutrol the terms of peace, and
its endeavors 10 secure support of other
powers in such steps have met with no
success. The London Economist prob
ably expresses the prevailing feeling in
commercial circles abroad reviewing the
possible courses for Great Britain, il
names, as the one likely to be adopted,
that government will do nothing. Peace
seems not improbable, aud it would d.
minish the movement of breadstufls and
provisions from this CONTINGENCIES the
prices here should be quickly lowered so
far as to thrust aside competition recent.
/ ly found effective. But the reduction OF
price, if disappointing TO some, would be
a help TO millions OF consumers here.
The gloomy part OF the prospect is at
Washington. 1t is not yet clear that dis
aster greater than we have yet seen may
not come upon us soon through the &C
ton of Congress. We're that danger out
of the way, the outlook for business and
industry would be better than it has been
for several years. The year 1877 has
given us splendid crops; it has brought
somewhat better condition to industry !;
it has enabled the country to do some
thing toward that rebuilding of capital
which must precede prosperity and it
has cleared away many dangerous traps
tor the savings of the unwary.

From the New York Tribune
Closing the Ledger for 1877,

The last week of the old year begins
without any surprising change in finance
commerce or industry. Throughout the
land, labor is fairly but not fully employed
and Its wages, though moderate. are such
as to prevent general destitution or suffer-
ing. We Judge that larger number OF
workers are employed at the close of the
year than were employed at its beginning
and at better remuneration, in part be-
cause the wages paid have been slightly
advanced in some branches in which labor
was fll-paid, and reduced, as rule only
where the pay was relatively high; ana
In part because the purchasing power OF
the dollar has increased The decline in
prices has not been by any means gener-
oil or equal, and this is well, for many
prices were below the specie level one
year ago. The change in prices. as in
wages, has been rather a readjustment
than general fall, and the result is prob
ably better fitting of means to needs for
the majority of workers. Certain it is
that there are increasing balances in the
institutions which receive the savings oil
the laboring class, and there is less APP
pearance Of want in most of our cities
1t is true. this may in part be ascribed to
the unusual mildness of the season. But
there are other evidences that the gener.
oil condition of American workers has. on
the whole, little improved. Purchases
of articles OF food and clothing have been
somew hat larger in the aggregate thar
they were year ago. Even Of comfort.
and luxuries, such as tea. coffee, and ho
iday goods, there appear TO be somewha
larger purchases. Prices are little low
er. but the magnitude Of trade, even wher
measured in values, seems to have slight,
increased, after fair allowance has been
made for speculative operations.
This is not a revival. II is slow re-
bullding-the almost imperceptible growth
of plant which has been cut of. The
process ought to be gradual if it is to be
healthy, and so little is there of unnatural
or speculative activity, that the growth is
painfully and discouragingly slow. Ii il
is real, and il confidence meets no new
and serious shock, the progress will be,
come more rapid as the slow savings OIL
the millions begin 10 fill the channels o.
investment, and SO swell the current O.

side Of their own. Should Nj. Blaine recover
his health, as Mr.. Conkling has, the two can

THE HoweATE EXPEDITION.
Capt. Henry W. IIowgate, of the Signal Blu
reau, is very active and earnest, relative to the
fitting out of Colony Expedition to the Polar
Regions, and is circulating a carefully prepared
document of his plans amongst members OF Con-
gress aud public men generally. According to
his statement the plan seems feasible, and well
worthy of trial, either by the government or
by enthusiastic and generous hearted individual.
or all together. He first set. forth the advantage
to be derived by Sccnce-viz; relative to the &c
ography, Moteorology. Magnetism, Mineralogy,
Geology &c, Of that region, together with those
of Astronomy. lie next briefly aludes to the
several Expeditions already made historical, them
results and failures, and the of failure, and
then proceeds to explain the Colonization scheme
be has in view. He proposes Tin brief to estab-
llsh Ear EoIth possible, a colony oil at least
fifty men. thoroughly equipped and provlsioned,
aud with such needful outfit, paraphernalia and
special aids and comforts 5 might be required for
u three or five years stay and prosecution of dis
covery, and by thus once founding this colony TO
follew it up with recruits, supplies etc, each year
while the colony remains. In this way, he thinks,
the party Il be more secure, less easily discoar-
aged, and more capable of taking advantage Of
favorable seasons and circumstances, and in case
Of deaths OF returns to country, the colony can be
supplied with recruits.
Besides, those remaining will get more accus-
toned to the climate, the topography of the coun-
try and the methods of prosecuting their labors
successfully Already his scheme has been en-
dorsed and encouraged by prominent scientific
in this country aud in Europe, and money to
carry out the project seems to be the only thing
necdful. T.. J. ID.
