MONEY AND BUSINESS.

The hot weather of the past week has given
an impetus to many kinds of retail trade, and
has fastened vegetation so far that large crops
are now generally expected. Most persons do
not stop to consider that the injury already
done TO the winter wheat cannot be wholly
repaired even by the most favorable weather
ut this time and later Tho June report of the
Agricultural Bureau is therefore an unpleasant
surprise to many, MS it shows a general aver
age of only 70 in condition against SO in
May, and that without reference to the loss of
area by ploughing up winter-killed tracts. No
estimate of the extent of this loss is given, but
il is stated that the increase in area of spring
wheat is about per cent, or 100000 acres
II does not seem improbable that the loss by
killing of winter wheat is at least as great, so
that the total acreage may not be larger than
il was in 1882. But against the low condition
of winter wheat must be placed the highly
favorable reports as to spring wheat, of
which the condition reported is 90, the same
MS at this time last year. The report, therefore,
does not mat literally change the general pros
pect as to the yield of wheat, which is that
the crop, though much below that of 1882,
will be decidedly larger than that of 1881.
As TO oats and barley, the reports are exceed
incIy favorable, and the effect of the recent
growing weather upon grass and vegetables of
all kinds must have been very great. A few
such days. just at this time, add many mill
lions to the years earnings of the nation.
The business of the past week has been
quite large for the season at New-YOrk, but
its volume has again been considerably swelled
by speculation. Dealings in stocks, in grain,
in oil and in cotton, have been very large,
while non-speculative wholesale trade has not
been especially active The woollen goods
market Is in an unsatisfactory condition, and
declining prices of cotton and print cloths tend
to make it more difficult TO realize profits on
stocks of cotton goods, while the change of
duties presently to occur has a tendency
TO check operations both in foreign and
in American goods. 1t is likely that
there will be greater activity as soon
as the effect of the new tariff
upon prices has been disclosed. The iron
trade cannot be said to improve. The Thomas
Company has reduced the price of its pig IRON
81 per ton, and the failure of the Grafton
Company has shown that the situation in the
Pittsburg region is by no means free from
difficulty. Still, the consumption Is large,
after all, and the embarrassment comes from
an oyer-hasty increase in producing power-a
difficulty which the growth of the country and
the closing of some of the least economical
works will soon remedy. II should not
be forgotten that in almost every
branch of business the consumption is now

SENATOR BECR,S BLUNDER.

Senator Beck recently spoke OF Mr.. Samuel
]. Tilden as the defeated candidate for the
Presidency in 1876. In so doing the Senator
obviously committed the objectionable sin
agains. his party. Democracy might have for
given him IL he had announced himself Pro-
tectionist, CentraiEationalist, a disbeever in
the political infallibility of Thomas Jefferson.
Doubtless it would not have absolutely aban-
doned him if he had declared that he favored
Civil Service Reform in the concrete, or that
ne was opposed to giving aid and comfort TO
the rum traffic. Such sins against Democracy
those who shape its course find 1t convenient
now and then to wink at or cOndOne But the
Democrat who deliberately speaks of Mr.. Til
den as being defeated in 1876 instead of join
ing in the fraud chorus can only expect to
be drummed ont of the party without benefit
of the cecgy. For such a malefactor De-
mocracy reserves the walls of her uncommon
wrath. OF course before this the Democratic
National Committee, acting in conjunction
with the Democratic State Committee of Ken
lucky, have given instructions that Mr.. Beck's
name bs erased from the annals of the party,
that his reputation be declared blasted, and
that his body be forthwith delivered to the tor
mentors. We feel sorry for Beck, we do
indeed.
And word to the party against whom lie
has sinned 50 enormously. We have a suggea-
ton to make to the Democracy which we are
sure they will thank us for. Gentlemen, see to
1t that the Committee on Resolutions of your
next National Convention places plank In the
platform embodying the noble idea upon which
your "fraud" cry is founded. The plank
would necessarily be to this effects

greater snan 'pau eyer pesn known fp this
country few years ago. For instance, the
new railroad mileage built this year, though is
is less than half the mileage reported to the
same date last year; is greater than was reported
to date in any other year in the history Oh the
country.
The banks expanded their loans again
last week, and the amount now exceeds
$320,000,O00. But their reserve also
increased over 100000, and the
surplus remains substantially unchanged.
Money remains easy and no imam
cial disturbance is apprehended. 1t Is
thought that some gold might now go abroad
but for the fact that the time is close at hand
when large exports of breadstufs may begin.
Respecting the more distant prospect, however,
it cannot be denied that there are some reasons
for especial caution. In fact the position
cannot be one of entire safety so long as the
Treasury continues to pile up useless silver
and to diminish its stock of available gold.
The bank circulation was again reduced little
last week, but no change of much Importance
is now to be expected in financial matters
until the movement of the new crops begins.
Then very much will depend upon the extent
of the demand from England, and the later
information in regard to the wheat yield in
that country does not encourage the expecta-
ton of an increased demand for American
products. But exports as large as those Oh
the past year will be about as much as the
country can well spare if the wheat crop

When committees were named some time
ago to propose plans for the reorganization OF
the Republican party in this city the criticism
was freely uttered that the Executive Com
mittee of the Central Committee would have
too much to say about the scheme which
would be finally adopted. Talks with some oil
the Executive Committee, which will be found
reported elsewhere in this impression, how
ever, indicate that they are acting IN good
faith, and will approve the plan offered by the
suggesting committee, which has already been
published in The TRIBUNE. But generally,
they don't appear to like it very much, nor
to have great faith in its success. They think
that the mass of voters will not take interest
enough in it to do their part 1t cannot be
denied that much depends on the enthusiasm
with which the Republicans outside the dis
trct associations take hold of the matter.
We hope that by fall the Executive Commit
tee will find themselves agreeably disap-
pointed, and their prophecies happily at fault.
1t was expected that the work of digging the
excavation for the pedestal of the Bartholdi
Statue would begin to-day on Bedloe's Island,
but there has been some delay In removing
the Notifications there and the work on the
foundations, therefore, must be postponed for
a week at least. At the present rate of SUBJ
scriptiOn, however, the pedestal will-be fin
ished if the committee can get credit-betore
the money has been raised to pay for 1t. About
$3.50, 900 Ms been contributed, but as much
more is needed. 1t would be an excellent
thing if the pleasure seekers at the different
watering places and seaside resorts would oc-
cupy their leisure this summer in arranging
paying amusements for the benefit of the
pedestal fund.- If little impetus were given
to the idea by some of the fashionable people
who took an interest in the fund last winter,
the necessary $l25,OO0 could be easily raised
by fall. Certainly the summer months should
not be fooled away. Liberty Enlightening the
World has already had dress rehearsal In
Paris, and it will be painfully shabby treat
ment on our part if the pedestal is not ready
for her, and paid for, by fall.

Doubtless the Car of Russia feels unuttera-
bly, relieved to be safe again in st. Peters
burg, where he arrived yesterday from Mos
cow. The strain upon him during the cere-
monies and festivities attending the corona
ton must have been terrible. Although he
bore himself calmly, certainly no one knew
better than he how great the danger was that
constantly surrounded him. The failure Of
the Nihilists to make any demonstration at
Moscow is q distinct triumph for Alexander
Ill. Their object all along has been to kill
him or to keep him ridiculous prisoner. BY
the coronation he dared them to their worst ;
and they have done nothing.
The excursion season opened auspciOusly
yesterday. In the city the heat was intense
enough to furnish any one with an excuse for
going to the seashore or to some other cool
resort Coney Island naturally attracted the
largest crowd, but it is reported to have been
too cool on the beaches for comfort. Last year,
pleasure-seekers did not start on their excur-
sions nearly SO early, and the Sundays were
cold OF wet until into July. Hotel managers
and restaurant keepers along the beaches suf-
fered accordingly, and they have been looking
forward 10 prosperous season this year to
make up the losses of 1882. Yesterdays
promise was that they would not be disap-
pointed.
Naturally Fulton Market was one of the
places to look for changes caused by the OPEN
ing of the Bridge. So much of the retail trade
there depended upon the whims of those who
passed the stands on their way to and from the
ferry, that 1t was supposed that the profits of the
sellers would fall off If the tide of travel should
be greatly diverted. Inquiries among the mar.
ket men, however, have called forth the asser-
ton from most Of them that their trade has
not suffered at all by the opening of the new
highway to Brooklyn. This is a relief to those
owners, and proves that the market men are
very honest fellows. Less conscientious persons,
