With reference to the market for American
securities, Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite reports as
follows :
' Continued inactivity has characterised the market for
American securities in London since our last. Quotations
remain without alteration excepting Eries, whi.di show an
improvement of 1 dollar per share.
The following is from the monthly hide circular
of Messrs. Culverwell, Brooks, and Co., dated
yesterday
The hide market has continued very quiet the ,ingliout the
put month, both the home trade and exporters trashily
shown little disposition to operate at previous rates, and
prices of salted hides have mostly ruled in favour of buyers.
Hides (Salted 0: and Cow).—Routh American continue in
limited request. Australian sell slowly ; Cape, fairly.
Belted Home Hides.—A considerable business hes been
dom. East India Kips of good quality have 'old readily
during the put month at full prices, and heavy hides have
occasionally realized an advance of id. to 4d. per lb. ; but
common descriptions continue in limited request, and hive
receded Id. toad. per lb. English market bides have been in
fair request, especially hides of good quality, which have
brought full prices. The leather market shows no material
alteration, as usual at this period of the year, the demand
has been limited ; but stocks continue moderate, Red vricell
have undergone no change of importance. North and South
American Fors and Skim. —Nothing worth noticing has
occurred since our last. The autumn ram are tined to begin
Iwith the Hudson's Bay Company's sale on the 31st August.
The annexed report on the silk market is from
Messrs. Durant and Co. :
I- Another month of extreme quiet and limited traireactioss
in silk—perhaps almost the usual fluctuations in feeling but
no business—pries however are without material change.
Various circumstances tend to this effect. The smallness
of the arrivals, the result of the European crop now peerally
looked upon as is aggregate little is excess of last year—an
opinion backed to some extent by considerable 'vegetative
purchases in those districts of Italy where priors were
relatively the lowest—the uncertainty and doubt as to the
course of events in Japan—and lastly faint, although it may

he always more or leas a latent, hope of the modification
01 AIMUSD difficulties'. All these causes have in
their degree rendered importers and holders compare-
' Mealy indifferent u to selling, the more so perhaps
es our prices show oonsiderable loss upon the last quotations
from the places of import, while on the other band on the
part of large operators there is • motional watchfulness
with an evident desire to get into stock, should anything
occur to lead to the belief that priors have reached their
i lowest point. The long continued abstention from pur-
-1 dh•ses flea of course very much exhausted the stocks in the
hands of consumers, sothat they are el_more or less in • poet-
' two to act when the fitting moment may be thought to
have arrived. Japan silk perhaps of all abases shows the
greatest susceptibility F 'th from its comparatively moderate
prime and it. general adaptability to the present require-
ments of oc•aomption. Trade unfortunately continues bed,
and the deliveries are upon the smallest possible scale. in
Bengal silk we have nothing to notice—some few small sake,
i but nothing to conatituto • feature.
