United States on June Ist. As compared with the report
of the month previous, there will be noticed a decrease in
short time obligations of $46,000,000, and an increase in
the long 5-20 issue of $61,400,000: The debt has in-
creased $18,000,000.

(Front E. F. Satterthwaite and Co.'sWeekly Circular, June 26.)
By the Scotia, our advices from New York date to the
11th inst. Money having been more freely offered, the
stock markets generally presented a firm aspect, though
without any material change in Government Stocks.
Railroad Shares were' in increased demand, and some of
the leading lines show an improvement, "Eidson River
being quoted $5 higher, New York Central $3, and Read-
ings $2. Border State Stocks were also more in favour,
an I were strong at quotations. Gold exhibited an ad-
vancing tendency, but the rise was only fractional.
UNITED STATES PUBLIC DEBT—PROGRESS Or REDUCTION.
The following from the New York Times, of the 10th
inst., fully corroborates our estimate given last week of
the probable position of the United States Treasury at the
end of the fiscal year :-
1865. 1866.
Jly 31, nix $2,757,253,276 Sept. 1... $2,595 683,168
Oct. 1 2,744,917,726 ... Oct. 1
Nov. 1 2,740,851,753 ... Nev. 1
Dec 1 2,714,663,311 ... Dec. 1 2,549,631,238
1866. 1867.
Jan. 1 2,716,581,536 .. Jan. 1 2,543,325,172
Feb. 1 2,716,898,152 ... Feb. 1 2,543.349,748
March 1.. 2,711,850,000 March 1 2,530,763,889
April 1 ... 2,705,646,516 April 1
May 1 2,689,689,842 May 1 2,520,786,Q96
June 1 2,670,288,367 June 1 2,515,615,936
July 1 2,650,538,330 July 1 2,500,000,000
Aug. 1-- 2,633,099,276
The last figure was our estimate more than fifteen
months ago of the probable public debt, at the close of the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1867. It is now possible that
it may not be quite made, though from the unexpected re-
sults of the revenues and expenditures in May we have
reason to expect it will be. The Juno figures (Statement
of July 1, prox.) will probably be delayed in their publi-
cation, as last year, in order to bring up the exhibit of tho
whole fiscal year in a mm o exact and complete official form,
as it will appear in the annual report of the Secretary of the
Treasury, than the ordinary monthly schedules. The surplus
gold belonging to the Government at the close of the year
will probably be fifty millions in excess of the amount on
hand July 1, 1865, or say about $85,000,090 as against
$35,000,000. In our last weekly review, the revenues and
expenditures of the fiscal year now drawing to its close,
actual for nine and estimated for the last three months of
the year, left $133,780,315 as applicable to the reduction of
the principal of the public debt ; which would place the out-
standing total (less balances in the treasury) July Ist, 1867,
at $2,516,758,015; but the publication since of the Schedule
of June Ist—showing the total already down to
$2,515,615,036—and the Internal Revenue receipts of the
past week, go far to show that in place of $488,000,000
gross revenue for the year, the round sum of five hundred
millions will be realised—the difference of $12,000,000 in
the actual from the estimated figures for the fourth quarter
being divided between the internal and miscellaneous rove-

noes—and the expenditures of the quarter will probably be
economised from $1,000,000 to $6,000,000 from the hun-
dred millions heretofore allowed as the del-Innis on the
revenues of the quarter. This revised calculation would
place the finances of the whole year about as follows:
Revenues from all sources
Expenses, including interest 350,000,000

To reduction of public debt

Without any increaso of business in the London mar-
ket for American securities during the past week, prices
have been well sustained; Unitod States 5-20's havo
ranged between 724 and 73}, closing 721 73. For both

Illinois Central and Erie Shares there has been a good
inquiry ; Illinois leave off steady at 79 to j, and Eries,
after having been sold as low as 381, aro last quoted 401
to 41.

For Illinois Seven per Cent. Bonds there has been a
good demand at about 77, and the Six per Cent. Sterling
Bonds are also inquired for at from 90 to 92.
In Atlantic and Great Western Securities Consolidated
Bonds have been bought on orders from America up to
261 ; they close dull at 25 to 1. The Debentures show no
alterations, but the Divisional Bonds being more offered,
without buyers, have slightly declined, the final quotation
being 50 to 52.

COUNTRY MARKETS.

WAKEFIELD.-FRIDAY.

At our market to-day English wheat met with a ra-
ther limited inquiry, and the business done was at a de-
cline on the rates of last week. Spring corn unaltered.

LIVERPOOL.--FRIDAY.

There was a fair attendance at to-day's market, and
there was a continued improvement in the demand for
wheat at the extreme rates of Tuesday last. Flour was
dull, and prices barely supported. Indian corn was in
steady demand, at full values. Beans were firm, and 6d.
dearer. In oats and oatmeal there was a quiet demand.
