The New York bankers, Messrs. Henry Clews and Co.,
in their Monthly Circular of June 15, say—United States
Bonds are, at the moment, steady, notwithstanding the
depression in the general stock market. Among the in-
fluences operating adversely upon the market have been
the activity of money , 'nhich has held in check the specu-
lative demand usual in June, in anticipation of the pay-
ment of the July interest ; and the interruption of the
foreign demand, consequent upon the large supply re-
cently sent to Europe and the disturbance of confidence in
the foreign markets growing out of the result of the elec-
tions in France. For the last two clays, the recovery of
the tone of the London and Paris markets has induced a
partial revival of purchases by the foreign bankers, who
appear confident that Europe will continue to take liberal
amounts of our bonds. The market has been steadily sus-
tained by the weekly purchases of $1,000,000 5-20's by
the Government. Already $5,000,000 bonds have in this
way been taken permanently off the market, absorbing
any supply that may have been drawn out under the in-
ducement of comparatively high prices and the adverse
influences above noted. The advanced scale of prices
may be considered now to have been fairly tested ; and
the fact that Europe has taken increased amounts at the
higher figures, and that there has been no extensive
realizing by domestic holders, shows that the rise has
been based upon valid grounds, and may therefore be
expected to prove permanent. The future of the mar-
ket must depend very much upon the course of money,
the continuance of the Government purchases of bonds,
and the condition of the foreign demand. With a
steady course of the money market, it would seem almost
inevitable that there should be a considerable speculative
demand in connection with the payment of the July inte-
rest. The total payable upon coupons and registered stock
is $31,810,000 ; and experience has shown that a large
proportion of these disbursements is usually reinvested in
bonds. It is, in fact, this habit of the bondholders which,
perhaps more than any other cause, has contributed to the
steady advance in bonds to figures which formerly would
have been deemed impossible. The present supply of
bonds upon the market is quite moderate, and appears to
be about evenly distributed among domestic dealers and
foreign bankers. Under all the circumstances, therefore,
assuming a steady course of the other markets, the proba-
bilities appear to favour firmness in this class of securi-
ties. The Alabama question has ceased to be an influen-
tial consideration bearing upon the premium ; and there
is reason to hope that the new phase of the negotiations
may be characterized by calm and moderate discussion.
The result of the French elections, though a new element
of distrust in European finances, is not likely to affect
directly the value of our bonds abroad or our financial
relations with the Continent. So far the aspect of Euro-
pean affairs is favourable to steadiness in the premium.
At the same time, it is felt that the continued free ship-
ment of our bonds is increasing our dependence upon the
uncertain movements of European finances, and enlarging
our interest obligations, without any corresponding gain
in our ability to liquidate them in products ; a course of
affairs which inevitably tends to keep the gold market
feverish, and to check the conservative tendences arising
from an improving condition of the national financier and
a steady recuperation in domestic industries.

[ADVERTISEMENT. J Holloway's Pills.—Bilious affec-
tions and stomach complaints induced by atmospheric heat
or too liberal diet, if not early checked, bre often attended with
serious consequences. When any one finds his ideas less clear
than usual, his eyesight dimmed, and his head dizzy, while he is
indisposed for all exertion, physical or mental, he may be quite
sure that he is in immediate need of some cooling and purifying
medicine. Let him send at once for a box of Holloway's pills,
after a, few dozes of which his head will be clear again, his spirits
elevated, and all his energies will be restored. Printed direc-
tions for the guidance of patients in the use of this admirable
medicino aro affixed to every box.
