THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
The FAILURES for the First Half Of thI
Knnn

y
Year.
We are indebted to the Mercantile
agency Of EIessrs. R. G. Dun & Co. for an
advance sheet OF their semi.yearly exhibit
Of the failures and condition Of business
thus far this year. We quote as follows
from their circular:
"The failures for the secoHd quarter OF
the present year are 1854 in number and
~ millions OF dollars in amount ct liabili-
ties. These figures are notably less than in
any single quarter OF the past five years:
As compared with the second quarter OF
lS7S, the difference in favor Of the last
three mouths is very marked, indicating a
decrease OF over 0OOfailures in that period,
with decline in liabilities Of 90 millions
in tho quarter-a lessened loss or lock up
by bad debts Of over two millions per
week.
In order, however, to show the figures
in more detail, and to enable the reader
himself to institute comparison, the fol-
lowing table is compiled, showing the
figures Of failures in each second quarter
since 1876, also the failures for the first
six months OF each year since that date:

RouES, July l5.-De Lcsseps, in a
speech recently, declared that the friend.
ship between France and the United
States would facilitate the construction OF
the narien Canal. He believed that the
canal would be completed in five or six
years. This is less than his former esti.
mate Of the time necessary for the con.
struction Of the work. Ii is considered
BY some that De Lesseps would have
taken a more prudent course II, instead ol
asking subscriptions Of 4O0OOO,OOO francs
for the canal, he had formed a small pre-.
paratory company to make complete in
vestigation. Paul Leroy Belien points
out that 1t is not certain that the Mica.
rauga route has not the advantages that
may hereafter lead to the creation Of a
second canal, which would deprive De
Lesseps' enterprise OF the trade Of the two
coasts of the United States, on which il
relies for its chief profits,

present policy towards the Vatican will be

1t was praiseworthy, under certain circum.

end, but when ways and means presented
themselves Of toning down tho acerbity Of
conflict without affecting the principle at
stake, he would not deem himself justified
in neglecting such proffered opportunity.
In consequence OF the retirement Of Dr.
Falk from the Ministry OF Ecclesiastical
Affairs, the ecclesiastical laws have been
enforced with more leniency, and this
may ultimately have the effect OF procur-
