men,—With reference to the Certificates of Debenture, due
on the 15th instant, I am instructed to inform you that
the committee have taken steps to bring the trust under
tho control of the English Courts, and to prevent any
hostile or prejudicial action by forced sale of the collateral
securities or otherwise.
With this view they have instituted a suit, as advised
by counsel, in order, as far as practicable, to insure the
due administration of the trust, and to facilitate the car-
rying out the scheme of reconstruction indicated in the
report of the Committee of Investigation.

In the meantime I am to request that, pending the
completion of definite arrangements, you will retain your

certificates.

I am also instructed to inform you that the Committee
have under serious consideration the wishes expressed by
many holders of Certificates of Debentures, that they
should be united in the trust for these securities with ono
or more of the existing trustees, and they will shortly
make a further announcement on the subject.—l am,
gentlemen, your obedient servant,

W. H. SMITHERS, Secretary.
During the past week the market for American Securi-
ties in London has been dull and inactive. United States
Bonds show little or no alteration, the 5-20's of 1862
closing 701 to I and the 1862's 694 to 1. The 10-40 Five
por cent. Bonds are 67 to 1. Illinois Central Shares have
been in fair demand, and leave off 85! to 864. Erie were
barely steady until to-day, when, on higher quotations
from New York, they advanced to 474 to 481.
Atlantic and Great Western Debentures are last quoted
2131 to 211, and the Consolidated Bonds 18 to 19.
