INDIA'S MINTS CLOSED
Silver Bullion Drops to II In Con-
sequence.
WHAT THE BANKERS THINK
In Their Opinion the Depressing
Effect viii Not Be Permanent
Paying Interest on Bonds
Financial Notes.

NEW toRX. June 26.--The cessation Of
the free coinage OF silver by the govern
ment of India was fruitful source Of
conversation among hnanciers to-day.
Business was resumed this morning with
q general feeling Of depression, growing
out OF a combination of unfavorable cir
cumstanccs. Fresh failures from various
parts of the country and stringent money
were good foundation for the announce
ment of the stoppaee of the Indian silver
m;nts.
BsNRErs' VIEWS.
A prominent banker. who is also one Of
the heaviest silver bullion dealers on Wall
street, said to a reporter, when the an
nouncement came. "That is a crushing
blow 10 silver. The effect will be para
lying upon the whole silver market. and
] think the settlement of the silver ques.
tion in this country Ia now at hand.
Mints have been opened for free coinage
and such immense quantities Of silver
have been presented by private parties
that tho circulation of silver became SO
great that the price OF the Indian rupee
has been declining steadily for months.
This brought abou, the suspension of free
coinage"
Still another large bullion shipper had
this TO say: II don't sec how this action
OF the Indian government in closing it's
mints will much diminish the demand for
silver In India. India is creditor coun-
{ try aud do not see how her balance of
trade is to he settled, save in the old way.

to private persons. then the government
will have to import silver for coinage pur.
poses in place Of private parties. The
government will he compelled 10 do as
! Indian banks do, buy silver in the market
in London. Tho depreciation of the rupee
is stopped. but beyond sentiment, we do
not see that the silver market will be
greatly affected"
PAYING INTEREST.
At the sub-treasury to-day. the payment
of interest on the United States 4 per cent.
bonds, due July I, began. Tho total pay.
ment will amount to ss.oOO.OOo and the
prepayment of this sum will, il is said
have a very beneficial effect. But, as one
bank president put It, although the boil
has burst, the sore place will not he thor.
oughly healed until after the Sherman
silver law has been repealed. During the
day, the highest rate quoted for money
was 40 per cent. At . o'clock il was offered
at s per cent.
Clearing house certificates, to the
amount of s45o.0oo. were issued to-day.
Tclearaphic transfers of $4,000 to San
Francisco were made through the sub
treasury to-day. After the close of bust
ness. an application was received for the
transfer of s250o0. In addition. Se5O.O

effect. but contented itself with making
