oyTIoE OF TIE EVENING TELEeIRAPH,l

The local Money market after Independence Day
is very quiet currency being in very moderate de-
mand though the rates have not as yet undergone
any serious change. The Government on Saturday
bought t3 co., 900 of Fve-twentes and with the pay
ment OF interest on the currency skies, some six
millions Of currency have been thrown upon the
market apparently with little effect either on ts
sources or tone. It may be too early yet TO expect
char ge, as the gold and currency now anoat have
scarcely yet settled down into fixed channels but an
easy and abundant market would appear to be a
natural il not an inevitable result. The report OF
the Treasury Department shows u decrease in the
public debt of g164t0.132 for the month, and an
aggregate of s36640,779 since the 1st of March
This il a gratifying exhibit and augurs well for the
future of our national finances.
