(From 3fessrs. E. F. Satterthwaite and Co.': Weekly Circular,
November 22d)

By the Africa we have advices from New York to the 7th
inst. From them we learn that considerable activity pre-
vailed in Government securities, though prices were
scarcely maintained. In railroad stocks the principal ex-
citement of the week had been in Milwaukee and Prairie
du Chien, which had advanced from 74 to 230, but the last
quotation was somewhat lower than this ; the enormous
rise could not be attributed to the increased business of the
road, but as a speculative movement in the stock; other
roads sympathise slightly in the advance, but the improve-
ment was not greater than about $1 to $2 on the• general
list.
In railroad bonds and State stocks the transactions were
inconsiderable, the only change worthy of note being a
further improvement of about 2 per cent. in Virginia Sixes.
Money was in good supply to stock houses at 7 par cent.,
and gold was steady at former rates, the large demand for
Customs duties neutralising the payment of the interest on
the 5.20 Bonds.

Via Queenstown, we have received the following quota-
tions, to the 11th inst. :—United States 5.20'5,1014 ; lllinois
Centrals, 135 k ; Erie, Common, 921 ; gold, 1461.

The London market for American securities has shown
less activity during the last week than for some time past,
the demand for United States 5.20 Bonds on continental
account having almost ceased for the present, though the
latest quotation, 631 to 3, is only a fractional altera-
tion from the price of last week. . Illinois and Erie
shares were both neglected until the arrival of the City of
Boston, when a demand sprung up for Eries, on which they
improved about $l, closing 55 to 1. Illinois advanced
slightly in sympathy, and are last quoted 82 to I, or $1
higher than last week.
At the close there is certainly a greater disposition shown
by some investors to take American securities, on the ex-
pectation that all matters of dispute between the English
and United States Governments will be amicably arranged.
