BUSINESS md THE UAR.

The conditions of business prosperity during
the next SIX months are becoming more clear
and definite 1t is mcasUrably certain that the
war in Europe viii continue, and its effects are
more clearly understood, but the prospect that
il will soon involve other nations besides Russia
and Turkey is more remote than it was some
weeks ago. and is not such as 10 warrant I'M
portant changes in business calculations. The
course of the Secretary OF The Treasury Is now
apparent TO what amounts, and how trc-
ducntly, he will exchange bonds for gold and
cold for legal tenders he will not undertake to
determine for himself that he viii continue
such sales, as he may deem best calculated TO
prepare for specie resumption, Is no longer
doubtful. His policy in tins respect cannot be
interruptod until Congress assemblies, and 1t Is
very doubtful whether Congress can agree
upon any act which will meet the Presi-
dents approval. The prospect as to the
crops is quite as clear as 1t can be cX-
pected TO be at this time; the grass
hopper problem has been investigated
with especial care, and on the whole
with promising results as 10 the next crop, by
the scientific commission appointed for that
purpose. There is no reason to apprehend
serious anu uutADttttu 'iGIrt' III lib ''t'''
market until the new crop begins to come
forward Respecting transportation, the recent
change Of rates ON the canal enables the trans
portors to compete on moro favorable terms
than were possible last year, and circulars
have already been sent inviting the especial
attention OF Western shippers to the practical
biity Of moving, at rates hitherto unprcce-
dentcd. the articles named in the new Z" free
''list,n and with a degree of rapidity not at
tainable prior to the use of steam vessels.
Considering first the demand for specie, 1t is
not likely to be materially affected by the
measures of the Treasury, if, as is generally
understood, the Secretary intends at present
to accumulate legal tenders rather than coin,
and to return to the market the coin which
may be temporarily received in payment for
resumption bonds. 1t is possible that the
European demand may become somewhat
stronger as the war proceeds; at all events,
steady drain Of specie for European markets
must be expected 1t is also to be observed
that the most productive mines in Nevada are
declining in yield. Though owners believe
that better results may soon be expected, it is
clear that the decrease in grade of ore yielded
by the bonanza mines from $3.50 per ton in
March. 1876, to $91 in April, 1877, and the
increase in expense of mining, go far to Justify
the remarkable decline in prices of the leading
mining stocks. There is little reason to ex-
pect increased yield of precious metals, and
New-York tribune., 1877-05-29

much reason to expect a stronger demand loi
them from abroad.
Tins far the money market has been s'ngd-
larlv easy. Capital is acCumulatinS here, at
Boston. and at other financial ccntcrs IN part
because prudent men are not eager to put luhuS
into so-callcd "invcstmcnt stocks" In view 0i
recent evidences OF corporate msmanagcheht
in part because there Is as yet no such maINc,l
increase of consumption IS to require ehiafSeu
investments in manufactures MINING or leSi'i-
mate trade; in part because il-adUsed eHpecta-
tions of unnaturally rapid improvement III busl-
ness have been generally entertained and nave
led many to hold their funds IN readiness lor
the expected revival of activity. 1t Is quite
possible that the Fall may bring sharp ad-
vance in the rates for money, but even then
tbe result would be felt rather in the chief
commercial cities and with respect to temporary
uses: than in the broader and more permanent
sense. II will take some very remarkable
change, as yet Unforeseen, to reverse the
tendency natural in years succeeding great
commercial disasters, which Is to accumulate
capital more rapidly than it finds other than
temporary employment.
II is not surprising to hear at tins season
complaints of dullness in business, and these
reporfs. from Chicago and Philadelphia, Cln-
cinnati and New-Orleans,. only indicate that
the usual transition period has been reached
in which transactions slacken. 1t Is well to
remember. also. that there has been great un-
certainty, until quite recently, III regard To
some important elements of the financial prob
lem: the policy of the Treasury has only just
become known, and the expectation OF war
between England and Russia has recently been
strong. But the actual transactions at the
chief cities are generally satisfactory, and a
more hopeful feeling prevails in commercial
and manufacturing circles. 1t is not the least
important of encouraging signs that men are
no longer anticipating instant translation to
unboundcd prosperity, as if by the rubbing OF
some magic lamp of Aladdin. 1t is sure that
prosperity can be regaincd. But it is also snle
that it can be regained only by patient work.
New-York tribune., 1877-05-29
1 WIZ crSrONLHOTSE.

Tie Custom-houSe Commission has com
pleted the first and most important stage oi
its work. and has presented a preliminary re-
mort to the President, which will bc found on
another page IN full, together with the in
structions OF President Hayes and the order
Of Secretary Sherman based upon the
report. The results of the investigation
thus far. as shown in these papers, are far
more satisfactory to the pubic than
to the politicians, but even the politicians can
hardly complain. IN all the researches Of the
Investigation, there seems 10 have been no de-
sire to make or mar the political fortunes ol
ANYBODY. There has been 10 whitewaSh brush,
and 30 mud brush. The attempt to bring the
Custom-housc down to a business basis has
been itself business-likc, and has borne rs
little resemblance TO an ordinary poit-
ical Investigation as the methods of business
bear to the methods Of politics. There have
been very few "expOsmcs," and the Commls-
sloners have sat as judges, not as attorneys
for prosecution and defense. And there Is no
stump-epcakiug at the expense of the Custom
house, either in the report or the orders from
Washington. The oficc-hodcrs have indeed
been treated both in the trial and in the YER
diet. with great consideration. and those Of
Them who must lose their heads may console
themselves with the reflection that they Will
be taken of with the utmost politcness.
But the politicians are of secondary impor-
tance after all. The people are anxious to see
their burdens lightcncd, and while wishing 20
see the ofice-Loldcrs Justly treated, are rather
more vitally interested in the welfare OF Their
pocltcts The recommendation OF the CommlS-
sion for a reduction of the force of 20 per
cent and a lcngthening of the hours Of labor,
and President laycs's distinct announce
rcnt that the Custom-hOuscs are TO be orga-
uizcd to attend TO public business, and not to
manage politics, are the best assurances they
can have that q tangible result has been
reached. As q rule, the re>iduum OF such in
vcs,igations has been several volumes of tc>tl-
monv and bad smell about the Custom
house This Investigation has already assured
q rctYcnchmcnt by Onc-iiith Of the principal
expenses of this great Office. and has brought
out on the record a distinct pledge on the part
Of the Government to draw the Custom-houseN
ont of politics-one reform already attained
which may well be called great, and another
70 bc initiated which is OF vast importance To
the whole country.
As for President IIayes's letter, too much
can hardly be said in its praise. Brief rs il Is,
it is one OF his most important uttcranccS since
his inaugural speech, and is the whole theory
Of Civil Service Reform graduated from creed
into a governmental order. 1t ought to be
printed in capitals, and hung on the wall of
every public Office in the country.

ping and our city from cargOes of petroleum
or its products. 1t is only in quite recent
years that our gas companies have made use
of petroleum naphtha to any great extent,
though the cheapncsS of that fluid had sug-
gested to chemists such a use of 1t, almost
from the date Of its discovery. lis volatile
character, and the fact that its yapor mixed
with air is powerfully explosive, make it far
more dangerous to handle than gunpowder.
The risk of bringing large quantities of such
fluid TO our docks is plainly evident, but Is
apparently unavoidable if the naphtha is to be
used in gas-making, since it is not profitable
to have street gas manufactured at distance
from the city. All that can bo done is to sur
round the conveyance and use OF petroleum
products with every possible precautlon, by
stringent cnactmcnts thoroughly enforced. 1t
must not be forgotten that the most destruc-
