With reference to the market for American
securities, Mr. E. F. Batterthwalte reports u fol-
lows :

We have bad a dull market in Loudon during the past
week for American securities •' the busboy*. transacted being
oa a limited scale. United States Five per Cent. and Six
pm Coax bonds are come offered at some little ounceesion in
price. The demand fur Illinois shares and bonds has fallen
of, and both shares and bonds have declined 1 par cent. The
critical position of the New York end Erie Railroad is be-
ginning to excite omoidenble attention, particularly amongst
Mt;interested as shareholders, or unsecured hondho.ders.
the company did not pay its first mortgage interest
punctually, it is seared, likely to pay the second sad third
mortgage coupons falling due Ist September next. Nor is it
likely that the holders of these bonds will consent to allow
their osseous to reseals unpaid without taking such legal
step se may secure their being met. The seamen most un-
doubtedly can earn, and most probably has earned the interest
at least, upoo ell its mortgage indebtedness, and such earn-
MAO we conceive ought to have been appropriated to paying
the mortgage interest, sad sot to hare been diverted into say
other charnel waste:ever.
