There bar been po change in financial affairs, The abandancs of money rather inc eases than dim'nishes, and there | appears to be no probability of an immediate change. We veualiy have @ sbort, dull, hot period to go through this month, snd oll are prepariag for ina» tivity and depression. The hot weather already expe | rienced bas driven many speculators and capitalise out of the city; and afew more days of such extrene heat would thin oot Wall street very mach. It is ox pected that stocks will fall off during the dali | seaeon, Lat we have no idea that any depreciation of | importance will be realized. There may be no | bayefv im the market, and those who hold good ttocks will not be sellers, bat will pat sway their | certificates, and walt their retarn to the city. No ttocks.

There are many waiting for edectine in the market valae of cortem enbstantal div deed. stooka, to com> in vain. Those who sold out with an expectation of baying in again at lower prices about the middle of July, bave, in our opinion, made = mistake. If they wish to come in at all at any hisg like prices realised, they must not put {t off too loag. Too money market is likely to remsta easy for an inde- fivite length of time, and eo loog as it does, stocks cannot be much depresssd.

On the list will be fuad $75,000 Vir ginia State Bonds, “‘hypothecated.”” From the “Register of Canal Boats,” recently Prepared in the Canal Department, and printed for the use of collectors of canal tollé, the Albany Jow nal gathers the followiag fac’s: ‘The whole number. of boats registered is 4,960. Supp sing these boats to be of the average leogth of 78 feet — which i probably near the tras average—if they were all marshalled ia single file, toucning each other, the extent of the line would be over 73 miles. ‘beir tonnage, at an average of 80, would be 396,800 tons.”’ ‘The anthracite coal tonnags by the three princi- pal lines to tide water the past woek is larger than ever befo e, and reaches the very enormous tonaags of 137,527 tons, and for tre season 1,929 026 tons. The shipments by tae Lehigh Navigation are again larger than the tonnage by the Reading railroad. The following is the canal tonnage by the several Mines for the week and seasou—that of the Leoigh being up to Saturday last, the otaer two up to ‘Thursday of this week :— For week, For Season.

The esti- mated increase of consum tion this year over last is something more than 600,000 tons. This increase will bardly be reached.
