1t will be seen that the stock In bond increased
over ten millions in June, making more than
f0rty-two millions increase since the beginning Of
the year. The total imports at New York since
January 1 are s232, ,6s6. Tile total for the cor
responding six months Of last year was s2o1, o24,
then by far the largest figures for the first six
months ever written In the history OF the trade.
The last six months now exceed that return by up
wards OF thirty millions. This large increase has
mostly goue into bond, where 1t is waiting the
period of the reduced tarif and accounts for the
dullness and steady condition Of the gold market
during the past few weeks. The importers are
waiting for the 1st OF the month to take
advantage of the ten per cent abatement while
holders OF gold, in anticipation of sudden demand
a few weeks Eencc are indlsposed to sell. Hence
the firm condition of the gu,l market now.
