as follows :

There is nothing new to report in the market for Ameri-
can securities. The various State stocks are well held for
investment, and if the demand at present for them is not
mays, the amount offering for Isle is very small, which will
account for the great steadiness in prices. In railroad bonds

very limited, and quotations are geoerally lower.
