CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.

(THIS DAY.)

THE ST. GILES'S MURDER.

/tie morning having been appointed for the trial of
johoillichord Jeffery, for the murder of his son by haneng
kiln in a cellar in St. Giles's, a great deal of interest sp-
ored to be created to hear the proceedings, and the court
vie filled very soon after the time appointed for the ad.
mission of the publics.
Mr. Justice Willa took his seat on the bench soon after
20 o'clock, and the prisoner was then placed at the bar.
se appeared perfectly calm and collected.
Mr. Poland and Mr. Bosley conducted the prosecution;,
the prisoner was defended by Mr. Daly and Mr. Streight.
The learned counsel for the prosecution opened the case
*the jury briefly, and he said that it appeared to him
that the best course to adopt was to state the aireum-
duets under which the charge was made without say
comment. The learned counsel then proceeded to recite
the lasts be proposed to give in evidence, and the following
witnesses were then examined.
Jane Edwards said—l am a widow, and on the 30th of
July I resided at No. 5, Eagle-street, Holborn. I have
yawn the prisoner seven years. He married my youngest
daughter about six or seven years ago. He bad two chil-
dren—the deceased and another boy, who died previously.
Tho deceased child would have been six yeas' old next
November. After the marriage my daughter lived with
the prisoner two or three years, and then they 'operated,
and the prisoner sold off all the furniture, and my daughter
came to live with me. They never lived together again.
I took charge of the deceased child from his birth
off and on, but for the last five months before be
died he lived entirely with me. During the five months
the prisoner twice took the child away for a day. I was
to have bad de. a week for taking care of the child from
the prisoner, but he never paid me anything. On the
90th of July, which was a Sunday, the prisoner came to
my house about half-past 8 o'clock its the evening and Ned
be wanted to take the child away. The child was in bed,
and.l wished the prisoner to let him stay until the morn-
ing. He refused to do so. The child was awake and said
‘' Don't take me," but the prisoner insisted upon
his being dressed, and I dressed the child, and be
took him away. .I followed them into Holbora, and
there lost sight of them, and I never saw
the child alive again. He was in good health when the
trimmer took him away, and very lively. It was between
9 and 10 o'clock on the Sunday night when I lost sight
et the prisoner. He was aware that I was following him,
sad he saw me speak to a policeman and ran away. I told
the policeman that I did not think the prisoner was ait
person to have the child, as he had used the child very ill
hofore,and I thought he had been drinking. The policeman
cid it was the child's father, and he could not interfere. I
car the dead body of the child on the following Monde/
morning. Ido not know where the prisoner was living at
this tie.

Ctomexamlned—/ went to live with my daughter and
the misoner when they bad been married about a twelve-
month. Ido not think the prisoner was aware that my
daughter had bad a child before Moe wee married to him.
They were not so happy after I went to live with them.
I amsum that I did not tell the prisoner that my
daughter had had a child Were they were married.
I believe that my daughter told him so. I son not
mats that the psiminer's wife is at the present
time living with a man named Salter. The prisoner was
sever kind to my daughter, and be did not appear to be
fond of her. There was unkindii- -s on both aides. I

do not know Mr. Fraser, a City m;raionary, but I never
threatened in his presence that I would hunt the prisoner
to his death. I consider the prisoner always behaved
Wind to the child. I have seen marks of kicks upon
bits after the prisoner has taken him out.
A gentleman was here brought into the court, and the
ii:tness was asked whether she recognised him u a person
rho had come to her house and read the Bible to ber, and
this said she did not know him, and she was sure she had
rover made such a threat as the one referred to in his

'Cites-examination continued—l never noticed anything
Nebular in the appearance of the prisoner, except when
be mu drunk, and then he was like a madman. I never
bud of his shutting the door, and taking up a poker.
lad saying that people were following him.
Re-examined—l believe the prisoner had been drinking.
Os the night he came to fetch the ohild.
Haul Foster said—l married the prisoner's sister, and
en the 30th of July I was living at No. 15, Great White
lionstreet, Seven Dials. I have known the prisoner for
about seven years. He came to my house on the night of
the 30th of July. About a fortnight before I had heard
the prisoner say that the boy would not be a trouble to Lay
me mach longer, and I have also heard him say that
he did not believe he was his own child. He had the
deceased with him when he came to my hones on the night
el the 30th of July. He wished to sleep at our place Lad
my wife allowed him to do so. The prisoner caked the
boy to say his prayers, and he did so, and said he wanted to
pto bed. He did so and the prisoner, while he was in
bed kept talking to him, and I told him not to
biker him, and soon afterwards the boy went
to sleep. I and the prisoner slept in the same bell
with him. We went to bed at half-past 11, and about 1
ea the following morning be got up and said he could not
sleep for the bugs, and told the deceased to get up and
dress himself. I said to the prisoner, " For God's sake
don't take the child out at this time of night," but he in-
sisted upon doing so. My wife also pressed him
not to take the child, and he replied that she
mast be a bad woman herself to think that he was going to
do say harm to the boy. Before the prisoner left he
aid be was going to take the boy a long way into
the country, and he would never see his aunt again. As
he was going the prisoner took two potatoes out of the cup-
board, and said that perhaps the boy would want then,. The
intoner went out and got a candle, and when he returned he
at the candle in two,and put one portion in his pocket and
left the other, and at the same time he took some matches
at of a box and threw the rest on the floor. The prisoner
when he had done this, pointed to the door and said to
his son " March" and they both left and I never saw the
bib again. He shed tears when the prisoner told him be
would never see his aunt again. When they left it was
between one and two o'clock in the morning.
Crossexamined—l have known the prisoner ever since
his marriage, and I have heard that he and his wife lived
happily together until his mother-in-law went to live with
them. I have seen the prisoner act in a very extraordinary
tanner on several occasions. Once he appeared to be I
afraid that some policemen were after him, and
be said that if they came in he would shoot the lot of them.
lhavealso beard him talk of an estate he had in Easel, or
some other place, called Cromwell-hall, and he took his
wife put one day for the purpose of showing her this estate.
I was only told that this was the case. I know that he
kw acted in a very exeraordinai y manner, but lam not
mare that he used to be called" Mad Dick." I have my-
self formed the opinion that at times he was not in his
ribd. I have heard him speak upon the subject of
re on, and hove heard him say that he was sure he should
be damned and go to hell. I consider the prisoner gene-
tally treated the child kindly, and that he was an affeo-
haute father.
Re-examined—The prisoner was under the influence of
drink when he acted in the way I have described with re-
tard to his threats to the police. The prisoner was at one
time a teetotaller, but during the last twelve months he
his drank a great deal. I never knew the prisoner to be
called Mad Dick. The place where the body of the child
wee found is about three minutes walk from my house in
Great White Lion-street.
Clain Foster, the sister of the prisoner and wife of the
hurt witness, who appeared to be a good deal affected,
waa then examined. She =id —I remember the prisoner
coming to our house on the Sunday night between 8 and
lo'clock, and I was present when he left on the following
matting with the deceased. Before the prisoner went
away I told him that I hoped he would not ill-use the
and I wade use of this observation because I bad
heard him say that the child should not be a trouble to
anyone long. I saw the body of the child at the St.
Giles', dead-house on the following day.
Cross-examined—The prisoner took to drinking after his
wife went away with another man. During the last year or
two the prisoner's conduct has been such as to induce me to
believe that he was not in his right mind. He used to tell
me that there was money coming to me upon my mother's
death, bat there was no ground for his saying so. •He also
vied to frequently Nay that he was sure he should go to
anti he appeared very much distressed at his wife's
leaving home. The prisoner seemed to be very fond of
the deceased child, and I have never heard the letter corn-
Plain of his father ving sed
blary Cotter said—hal livel at No.m 15, Great Earl-street,
which is also sometimes called Neale's-passage.
On the morning of the 30th of July I went
down into the cellar of that honse. There is an
rifler cellar, and in that cellar I found a little boy banging
to the cistern post. A rope was round his neck. I gave
an alarm and the police were sent for, and the body was
at down. Persons could get to the cellar where the body
vas band from the street, and this cellar was lighter than
the other. The prisoner did not live at the house, and I
do not know anything about him.
James Kaye, sergeant of the F division of police, proved '
that he went to the cellar about a quarter past 7 on the
lion, day morning, and found the deceased child in the posi-
wn described by the last witness. The rope went once
Pound the neck, and three times round the post of the
ei.neril. The rope was not tied tightly round the neck, and
le could have put two fingers between the flesh and the
loose. The child's hands were tied behind him with
handkerchief, said his feet were about 15 inches
front the ground. The child was very poorly clad. He
only one shoe on, and on the other foot there was a
9r rag sewed up with white thread. The witness m-
ounted that the bands of the child were tied in such a
Position as that both the palms of the hands were out-
*ln* and the knots were of such a description that the
awe they were pulled the tighter they hennas

In cross-examination the witness said that he was quite
sure that the rope was twisted three times round thewpost,
and that the rope was not merely hung over a notch in the

.-DV. Alfred Harvey said—l live at No. 3, Southampton-
street, Strand, and I was sent for to the cellar on the

Monday morning. The deceased bad been cut down
and was lying on his back. He was quite deed,
end the limbs were rigid, but the body was slightly
warm. It was removed to the dead-house, and I
there examined it carefully. I first removed the hand-
kerchief from the hands, one hand slipped through the
knot but Iwy obliged to out the other. There was the
mark of a rope on the front pert of the neck. The jaws
were clenched, and from all the appearances I observed I
should say that the child had been dead about four hours
when I saw it. I made • post mortem examination
and found all the organs healthy except that
there was congestion of the lungs and congestion of the
brain, which were symptoms of suffocation, and I have no
doubt that the death woes from that cause. I have an
idea that the deemed was partially suffocated before he
was hung up, and I came to this conclusion from the placid
appearance of the countenance, and that the eyes did not
protrude, which they almost always do in cams where
death is the result of hanging.
Orem-examined—ln point of fact the body did not pre-
sent any of the ordinary indications of death by banging
except the murk round the neck. He had no doubt, how-
ever, from ail the appearances that presented themselves,
that death was the result of hanging, but he believed that
the child was partially suffocated before he was hung up to
the part.
Mrs. Ingram said she had known the prisoner about
twelve months, and he had lodged with her down to the
26th of July. She said she was in the habit of wash-
ing his linen for him, and she remembered a pocket
cotton handkerchief belonging to him which she
need to wash, and she noticed that it was hemmed
with black silk. The witness then looked a*
the handkerchief with which the hands of the deceased
child were tied behind him, and said it was like the one
she washed for the prisoner, and it resembled it in
colour and pattern, and was gloo hemmed with black
silk.
[The trial was proceeding when our report left].

THE POLICE COURTS.
(THIS DAY.)

BOW-STREET.
EIGHT MARS AMR.

RkAard Pike, a cabman, appeared to answer a summons
at the instance of the Commissioners of Police, charg.ng
him with having made a false statement in his requisition
applying for a license.
He pleaded guilty.
It appeared that the defendant was convicted of coin:tic
in January, 1859, and sentenced to four years' penal servi-
tude. He had now been four Tears driving a cab, and it
was proved that in the requisition on which he obtained
his license he stated that he had never been convicted of
any crime. There was no doubt his conduct had been good,
as he bad had a license for four years without a mark ap-
pearing on it.
A solicitor, who appeared for the defendant, made a
strong appeal to the clemency of the magistrate. Although
'hedefandant had obtained the license by improper
means, he had made no improper use of it. He
had conducted himself well for four years, and
on a recent occasion had returned some valuable
property left in his cab to the owner, who
showed his appreciation of defendant's honesty by giving
him a reward first of 11, and then of an additional 10a. It
was a very bard thing for a man returned from penal ser-
vitude to find some means of getting a living, and it really
seemed sad that he should be hindered when he had been
doing so honestly for so long a time.
The defendant's employer came forward and gave him
an excellent character. He himself could not desire •
better driver. Defendant was well recommended by his
last employer.
Mr. Vaughan could not see what would be the use of the
requisitions, or of the statements required to be filled up
in them if they might be falsified with impunity, not
what would be the use of commissioners of police
if they took no notice of such deceit. It was
' true that the defendant had behaved himself well, but
in nine cases out of ten persons obtaining licenses by such
frauds would not behave well, and the regulations were
necessary for the public interest. Still he would take into
account the defendant's prevkaie good character in mitiga-
tion of the penalty.
Mr. Ware, inspector at Scotland-yard, said it was in
making some inquiries as to an umbrella said to have
been left in defendant's cab that the fact of his having
been a. convict was discovered.

Mr. Vaughan fined him 20s. and costa.
Mr. Ware said it rested with the magistrate to say
whether the license should be forfeited. He did not press
its forfeiture, but wished to know the magistrate's view.
Mr. Vaughan said that was a matter for further consi-
deration. It seemed hard to deprive a man of his means
of living after four years of good behaviour. It would be
neoessav, however, to make certain inqui-ies as to the
practice of the commissioners, and also to ascertain if the
statement was correct about his having restored valuable
property to the owners. He should consider the question,

CLERKENWELL.
ATTEMPTED Ell ICI DL

Mary Awn Oldgatt, a domestic servant. was charged
before Mr. Harker with attempting to commit suicide, at
14, Furnivals-inn, Holborn, by cutting her throat
Yesterday the prisoner's mistress had to speak to her
about her loose conduct, and she then turned very sulky,
went down stairs, bound some calico round the handle of a
knife, and then attempted to cut her throat. She threw
herself on the floor, pulled her hair out, and screamed
very violently. As the prisoner had before attempted to
destroy herself, a constable wan sent for and the pri-
soner was given into custody.
The prisoner now said that she did not intend to destroy
herself.
Mr. Barker remanded the prisoner for her friends to be
communicated with.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT THE WEST DRAY-
TON STATION OF THE GREAT WESTERN
RAILWAY.

WEST DRAYTON, TIMILIDAT.

Yesterday evening about twenty minutes past
five o'clock a very shocking occurrence took place at the
West Drayton station of the Great Western Railway. It
appears that a number of " permanent way " men were
at the time engaged in their avocations near what is called
the" horse-box siding. One of the men, named George
Smith, bad occasion to pass from the down to the up aide
of the line, just at the time when the Windsor express
train, which leaves Paddington terminus at 5 o'clock, was
due at the West Drayton Junction. At the moment an
up narrow gauge goods train from Slough was
also approaching the station, and the noise made by the
latter would seem to have deadened the sound of the
express, the engine of which caught Smith in the back and
rolled him over and over for a distance of about 20 yards
the wheels of the carriages of the train nutting off the poor
fellow's head, and scattering the brains over the metals
and line. Mr. Bonne, the station master, was imme-
diately made aware of the calamity, and the body of Smith,
which was dreadfully mangled and cut to pieces, was re-
moved from the railway to the De Burgh Arms,
where the corpse awaits the necessary inquest. No blame
would appear to be attached to the railway officials.
The engine driver saw the man on the line, and sounded
his whistle, but was too late to save his life. At Slough
the blood which was sprinkled over the engine had to be
washed off before the train went on to Windsor, its desti-
nation. The unfortunate man leaves, it is said, a widow
and child to mourn his loss.

ANOTHER RAILWAY COLLlSlON.—Yesterday even-
ing en alarming accident occurred on the London and
North Western line, at Moseley, near Stalybridge. The
passenger train from Leeds, due at the Victoria station at
6.23 p.m., was approaching Moseley, when the engine-
driver observed a goods train standing on the same rails—
too late, however to enable him to poll up in time to avoid
• collision. The driver and stoker both jumped off the
engine, and escaped with slight injury. Four or five of
the goods trucks were smashed to pieces, and the engine
of the passenger train considerably damaged. Several of
the passengers were very much shaken, and arrived in
Manchester bearing tokens of the accident in the shape of
bleeding noses and blackened eyes, but fortunately this
was the extent of the personal injury sustained.—Man-
easter Examiner.
SERIOUS OUTBREAK OP CHOLERA IN WIGAN.—

The cholera has made its appearance in Wigan. The
diarrhoea has been prevalent for some weeks, and there
have been a few cases of cholera, but they were not
brought prominently before the public, so that when
a couple of eases were reported last Saturday the
inhabitants were terribly oho Aced. The first case was that
of Mrs. WWilliarn, the widow of a member of the town
council who died a few weeks ago. She was seized with
cholera and died in a few hours, although several medical
men were in attendance shortly after the attack. On
Saturday evening Mr. John Alker, a young chemist, 28
years of age, was seized with all the symptoms of the
Asiatic type. On Sunday he became rapidly worse, in the
evening he was insensible, and on Mondaysaernoon expired.
On Tuesday it was announced that the Borough Coroner
' and Town-clerk, Mr. Caleb Hilton, was suffering from a
severe attack of cholera : in an hour or two it was reported
that there were no hopes of his life, and on Tuesday night,
at half-part ten, he died, having been insensible for some
time. He was buried yesterday afternoon, just after the
holding of a special council meeting which he had himself
convened, butat which, of course, no business was trans-
acted, excepting the making of arrangements to call in the
I county ooronv."oholdaertain inquests which are necessary.
Yesterday a.. deaths were reported up to the time of the
despatch of o « parcel. but the fear which existed was very
great, and tki bulk of the surgeries in the town were very
busy. A natal* published by order of the board of guar-
discs was read by crowds when it was that posted. on
Tuesday evening. The number of deaths registered
during the last few days are as follow :—Saturday :
Cholera, 1 ; diarrhoea, 2. Monday: Cholera, 2 diarrhoea,
3. 'Tuesday : Cholera, 3 ; diarrhoea, 1 ; Total: Cholera,
S ; diarrhoea, 6.—Maseckeiter Exemfaer.

SHARE LISTS.-(THIS DAY.)

Ou <Mum.

A decline in some of the traffics, with a good sup-
ply of stock, for which there is an inadequate
market during the season of vacation, has caused a
considerable degree of heaviness in railway shares ;
and prices have declined in many cases below those
of yesterday. The changes generally are not of
importance, except that, at present, they are not
accompanied by any tendencies to a favourable re-
action. London and North Western stock is
lower. Caledonian has also declined 4. Great
Western, Midland, South Eastern, and various
others are 4 lower than at the close of yesterday.
Metropolitan and Great Eastern stocks are excep-
tionagy firmer.
Metropolitan stock is now quoted at 1284 to 129 ;
Great Western 68 ; London and North-Western,
1181 to 119 ; Midland, 122 to ; Lancashire and
Yorkshire 124} to t ; Caledonian, 128 to 129 ;
South Eastern, 691 to 4 ; Great Northern, 118 to
119 ; ditto A, 129 to 30 • London, Chatham, and
Dover, 21 to 22 ; Great *astern, 30 to 4.
East Indian Railway, 101 to 4.
Lombardo-Venetian shares am steady at 164

The Canadian lines are unaltered and rather in-
clined to firmness. Grand Trunk, 21 to 4.
American railroads are without change but dull,

MONEY MARKET.-(THI8 DAY.

own o'Oman. , .
The Bank directors have made no change in the

rate of discount, so that the minimum remains a*
5 per cent. A reduction was acutely expected,
though it is considered that the downward move-
ment might, in the present state of the
Bank's accounts, be justly carried further.
The stock markets are dull, especially

railways, ^
mainly from a continuance of
uncertain weather, combined with an absence of all
demand from the public. Occmional efforts are
made to show strength, but they are immediately met
by offers to sell. The foreign market shares in the
depression and in the indisposition for business.
The demand for money is unaffected by the
continuance of the 5 percent. minimum. The ap-
plications, both in Lombard-street and at the
Bank, are moderate ; and the terms for fast-clam

bills in the open market are still quoted at 4 to

Consols are dull and very quido at 89i to for
money, and 891 to for the modest.
In foreign stocks Greek Bonds are lover,
16} to 16 ; and there is a reduction of in Mexi-
can, Spanish Passive, and Spanish Certificates.
Turkish Bonds of 1862 are very quiet, at 57 to
58 ; and the Bonds of 1865 at 311 to 32.
Brazilian scrip is quoted at 68 to 69, showing a
reduction of about
Anglo-American Telegraph shares have im-
proved, being now quoted at 17 to ; and Atlantis
Telegraph are firmer, at 61 to I. Hudson's Bay
shares are quoted 17 to 17i.
United States 5-20 Bonds are steady at 72} to I.

International Financial shares are quoted 11 to
1 dia. ; London Financial, 13 to 12 dia. ; General
Credit, 11 to 1} dig. ; Credit Foncier, 31 to 2
dim. ; and National Discount, 9to 1 prem.
It appears that the liquidators of the various
failed companies continue to employ the available
funds, as fast as they are collected, in loans on the
Stock Exchange, where the amount seeking ear
ployment was yesterday increased by several sums
derived from Overend, Gurney, and Co. (limited).
About 8,000/. in gold was sent into the Bank
yesterday, including 3,0001. in bars, (and 5,000
sovereigns from Egypt. The total sent in during
the week is 264,000/., but, as 50,0001. has berm
withdrawn for export during the same period, the
week's gain appears to be 214,000/.
The America and Allemania, both from New
York, have brought, respectively, 4401. and B,OOOL
in specie. On the other hand, the Saxonia, which
left Southampton yesterday for New York, took out
69,8241. in gold coin. The withdrawal of the bulk
of this sum from the Bank of England ha. already
been recorded.
The biddings for government bills on India took
, place yesterday at the Bank of England. The iso-
portions allotted were to Calcutta 27,30,000 Bs.,
and to Bombay 1,20,000 Bs. The minimum price
was fixed at ls. 100. on Calcutta and Madras, and
ls. 100. on Bombay. Tenders at L. 100. oa
Calcutta and Medusa, and at ls. 111 d. on Bombay
will receive in full. These results show some re-
vival of the demand for the means of remittance to
India.

Telegrams from India bring intelligence of the
failure of the great native speculator Premchund
Roychund. This individual has for a long time
past taken the lead in the vast and multifarious
joint stock and other speculations, the sudden
growth of which at Bombay has latterly afforded
so much ground for wonder. It is said that his
liabilities will reach two or three millions sterling,
but it is to be hoped that the effecta may be
mitigated by the extent to which the event bad
been foreseen and provided against. A year ago
Mr. Premchund Roychund was a director of the
Bank of Bombay.
The mercantile advice* from the Danubian Prin-
cipalities are more satisfactory. The harvest has
turned out less unfavourable than had been ex-
pected, and fair supplies of wheat and other grain
are arriving at the ports from the interior. It is
I hoped that the government will further relax the
prohibition on the export of corn, so as to limit it
to the sole article of maize. The negotiations fee
the recognition of Prince Charles of Hohenzollern,
as sovereign of the Principalities by the Porte, are
stated to be progressing satisfactorily, and his de-
partureto Constantinople for investiture is expected
almost daily.
The London and North Western Railway trailer
return shows this week a decrease of 1151., conk-
pared with the corresponding week of last year ; the
Midland, an increase of 1151.; the Great Nor-
thern, a decrease of 1,0821. ; the Great Eastern,
a decrease of 9211. ; and the Great Western, an
increase of 2,4921.
The receipts of the Grand Trunk Railway of Ca-
nada for the week ending the Ist inst., were 27,7691.,
being 3021. more than in the corresponding week
of last year.
The half-yearly meeting of the Tourney to
Jurbise and Linden to Haaselt Railway Company,
is called for the 29th inst., at Brussels, when a
dividend is to be declared.
The first general meeting of Liebig's Extract of
Meat Company (Limited) is called for the Ist
October.
It appears that in a paragraph which we gave
the other day, referring to the transmission of the
Australian mails, we did scant justice to the Pe-
, • ninsular and Oriental Steam Company. Ii any
• comparison is to bo instituted between the respec-
tive performances of this company's vessels and
those of the Panama Royal Mail Company, it
should be stated that the Peninsular and Oriental
I mail, which left Sydney on the 24th of June, ar-
rived in London on the 18th of August, thus oo-
I cupying 55 days, while the first mail of the Panama
• Company, which left Sydney on the 16th June,
arrived in London on the 13th August, thus 00-
• cupying 59 days from Sydney, though much less
from the intermediate colonies. Again, the second
mail of the Panama Company left Sydney on the
15th of July, and arrived in London on the 12th
inst., or 59 days from Sydney, while the Penin-
sular and Oriental mail left Sydney on the 24th
July and arrived in London on the 14th inst., or
52 days. The performance of both companies is
admitted to be satisfactory ; but that of the Pa-
nama Royal Mail Company is especially valuable
to the New Zealand colonies, those being the
last ports touched at by that pany's vessels on
, the homeward voyage, and, of com
course, the first
touched at on the outward voyage.
j With reference to the market for American se-
curities, Messrs. E. F. Satterthwaite and Co. re-
' port as follows :
. , The usual fortnightly settlement in American securities
which has occurred since our last showed that • large
' amount of the United States 5.20 Bonds recently
im-
ported were still on the market ; this has naturelly tended
to check any further improvement in them, and the
closing quota.ion 721 to is a shade lower then this day
week. Illinois Central shares have been neglected, but for
Er:es there has been an active demand for shipment to
New York, and on the week they exhibit an improvement
of 2 doles, the latest prim being 47 to Atlantic and
, Great Wes.ern Debentures have advanced 2 per cent., and
for the Consolidated Bonds, which are steady at 49 to 50,
there is a continued demand for inveetment. For some
other railroad mortgages, such as Detroit and Milwaukee,
and Atlantic and Great Western (Obio) First Mortgage,
' there is also decidedly an improved inquiry.
