With refereoce to the market for American seen-
rides, Mr. E. F. Hatterthwaite reports as follows :

There continues to be an active business doing in London
in American railroad securities. Illinois and Erie shares
have been in strong demand ; the latter remain nearly sta-
tionary in prior, whilst Illinois have advanced 2i per cent.
Illinois Central Construction Six per Cent. -Bonds are
wanted, but none are offering. The Seven per Cent. Bondi
are firm at 88,1 to 87. Michigan Central First Mortgage
Night per Cent. Bonds are offering at 91, at which rate they
are very cheap, considering that the large increase in the
traffic now going on renders the security of the bonds
beyond question. The increase in October is 74,467 dull.
Detroit and Milwaukee Bonds are wanted at 57, and Juliet
and Northern Indiana at 80, but both are difficult to boy.

stocks of bankrupts estates being still preened on the mar-
ket, to the prejudice of the regular demand. Prices are gene-
rally stationery, and the supply of bat heavy sole leather
is small. The stocks of other goods are abundant. Loa-
don market hides have declined 3.. each. River Pl►te hides
