SATURDAY MORNING, JULY IA.
The Business Prospect.


1t is evident that the business of the coun
try' generally, only very slowly improves. The
results of the first half the present year are by
no means entirely satisfactory. Neither in ex-
tent or proftableness are there many signs of
improvement; while in the recovery or stability
OF values, the indications are uncertain, and
NOT unfrequently the tendency is still decidedly
downward. The statistics of failures, ALSO.
which are periodically furnished to the public
by the Mercantile Agency of E. Russell 8 Co.,
through T. Frank Jones, the manager in this
City, are not re-assuring, as we gather from the
regular Quarterly Circular first issued. The
failures for the United States for the first six
months of three years are stated as follows:
No. of Failures. Liabilities.
First half of 1S77............4,749 S99,6O6,0 900
sirst FIRST malt OF 1876 76........".46OO log 4l5 ,0Oo
First half of 1875. ............3563 76,7S4,266
1t is stated that the failures for the first six
months of 1876 were exceptionally large, and
hence it is inferred that, so far as the number
is concerned, the failures in the first six months
OF 1877, are larger than for any previous SINH
lar period. In the aggregate of liabilities
decline is noticeable, though for the past quar-
ter the average Indebtedness is more than main
tanned, as will be seen by the following inter-
esting table:

tilted. The Spectator goes further. 1t at
tributes the inactivity of the bees to Conserva

changing their Queen for an Empress, or alter

combing the hives under some impulse or sani-

The President ON Specie Resumption,

New YORK, Feb. 1.-The Herald's Washing
ton depatch summarizes the Presidents views
on specie resumption as follows
First, The President believes we can COM
mence specie payments now, within month.
Second, He does not believe there will be
much demand for gold under his proposition,
because the holder of greenbacks could get gov
ment gold bonds for them, paying four per
cent. interest.
Third, He urges the issue of not more than
$leO, 100000 of such bonds to fund greenbacks,
ponds to be valid as bank reserve on deposits,
and security for circulation.
FOURTH He has new figures to show an in.
specie.
flfth, He instances the fact that our imports
nearly ~, GOO, 600 more than our exports.
