The Effects Of the War in the United
States.
From Ito .N0nAiy CIrvlaref Henry cleus 6 Co.

From tho Monthly Circular Of Henry CIssrs & Co.
New York, July 19, 1870.
The outbreak Of war between France
and Prussia has subjected financial afIhirs
In this country to severe strain. The
great resources and the national pride Of
the contestants, together with the posi-
billty, not TO say probability, that other
powers may be ultimately drawn into the
struggle, too plainly indicate that tho war
may prove to be much more costly and
pr0traCted than that Of 1856; and the
event has therefore produced profound
sensation In Wall street circles. The ex-
perience of the effects Of war between
Prussia and Austria, when affairs in this
country we're in substantially the same
condition as now, educated Wall street TO
q proper treatment Of the effects Of these
European outbreaks; and TO this fact, per-
haps, may be attributed the fortunate cir
cumStanCc that the arrangements grove
ing out OF this war have not been so
marked US those which attended the war
Of 1860, although tho foreign situation is
more threatening now than then.
The first effect Of n European war Is
felt upon our exchanges. In tho present
case, circumstances arU, In some respects,
peculiarly unfhvorablef for resistlng the
effect. From natural causes, the European
money markets hAvC recently had, "a hard,
enink tehdency !; which, with extreme
case ID the homo money markets, has
rather favored the return Of securities 10
this side than otherwise. AS usual at this
season, the foreign exchanges arc against
us. Our exports Of cotton and produce
arc every week becoming lighter IRON tho
working down Of stocks, and, In addition
to this inequality on the trading account
VIC have 10 remit 10 Europe, during the
first half Ut this month, several millions
Of semi.annual interest upon securities.

fore, which Is calculated to induce the
calling home Of balances held here, u
contraction Of and an GxtCnSlvej realizing

lated, under those circumstances, to have
very marked effect upon tho homo bond
market and upon thcprice OfgOld. The dis.
turbance however, has been less than might
have been expected. The price Of gold
has advanced from I'LL 10 1924, and
bonds have declined 3GN3i pcr cent,
while the decline Of Slxty.twos on the
London market has been 81 nor cent
At no period since the outbreak, has I'M

We admit that the war must be short
relatively short, beyond all question,
should It be confined to Franco and Prus-
sia; and, probably so,, pcrhaps-bpt that
must follow from Tho changes that have
come over warfare in consequence Of the
occurrence Of changes That affect society

treasure, II has SO strong and necessary q
tendency TO affect all pursuits. and It's con.
sequences arc so near to all:embracing.
TINT It cannot be waged throughout a
long term oil years in old and thickly-
populated countries. Tho length Of our
civil war Is not an exception to the ,rulc,
Tor that was waged In . new country, and
.On v0st thcateF, in which the population
was thin. Half the battles fought In It's
course were blows delivered in the air,
having no effect on the event of the con:
test. But even that war proved peCuni-
arily rulnotls to one party to It, and, from
It's costs and its length, placcl burdens on
tho vlctnrs that arc sure TO bO felt by them
and their children for half century to
