A day or two ninze, when nearly all the leading stocks on tho lst could have been bought from « balf to one per cent below current prices, the market was dull and there were no buy- xs. The month of June will bring an easy money market and higher prices, The siringeucy in money matters, which is now gradually subsiding, will, with out doubt, be the last for monthr. In enother week or two financial affairs will move along again in the usual channels, and thus we may !sok fo a steady improvement during the dull business seavos Tkroughout the past two weeks there has deen s good deal of activity in bonds. The chaoges have been nume- rous and frequently sudden. It camuot be said tuat at any time during the movement money was pert! ali searce. The market was active without beug tight. The banks may not let out loans to the extent -¢ orteds few weexs since, but in the absence of a demand for dis- counts the present limit will give fall supply. An ag- gregate amount of loans of one handrei million in Jane and July, would meet the wants of the community tos greater extent than an amount ten per cent Jarger in March or April. The heavy paymenta are now over fr the season, and money wiliasccumulate in the ands of the mercantile classes. As it sccumnlates in their hands it will create a disposition to operate in the stock market, and the effect will soon be visible in prices. “hs mer- ebants are at times hoavy specuiators on the s.ock Ex- change.
