! OUR BONDS ABROAD.
| LONDON, Aug. THE Times says: Prices of
United States bonds continue weaker, owing to
a noticeable diminuition of American purchas-
es. These seem to fuctuate more or less with
the shipments of grain. When the shipments
were large, buying was fair. As they decreas-
ed SO did the demand for bonds. Probably
| therefore. with the renewed activity observed
in American wheat the trade price of the bonds
will again harden. 1t will be extremely inter-
esting to see whether the currency demands of
the American government under the resump-
tion scheme, will now lead to withdrawal of
gold instead of bonds, for should gold go in any
| quantity during the coming autumn, the Eu-
ropean money markets might be seriously en-
barrassed.
