(From E. F. Satterthwaite and Co.'s Weekly Circular, Oct. 30.)
Our advicos from Now York by the Scotia are to the
15th instant. The Money Market had been more strin-
gent than for some months previous, and as much as seven
per cent. had been paid on good collatorals. The Banks
returns exhibit but little alteration, but the usual monthly
financial statement of the Secretary of the Treasury shows
a decrease in the debt bearing interest payable in currency
of $47,569,675, and an addition to the gold bearing debt of
$29,508,400; the gold in the Treasury had increased
$2,035,639, and the total debt, less balances in hand, had
decreased 610,178,619 during the month of September.
Government Stocks had been depressed, but showed
some recovery, especially in tho 7.30 Treasury Notes ;
other descriptions, on the week, show a slight decline.
In Railways there had been an active business, with
considerable fluctuations ; Cleveland and Toledo and
Now York Central wore in renewed demand, and had each
advanced five per cent.
State Bonds were slightly firmer and in request..
Gold during the week had declined quite two per cent.,
the result of the recent elections having in some measure
allayed apprehensions of political difficulties.
In the London market for American Securities there has
during the week boon a considerable amount of business,
with a steady tendency to higher values, and the closing
quotations aro the highest of the week; United States
0-20'o being 691 t 9 70 for I$Q2 D;putts, an 4 Q 6 t 9 19r We

1865'5. Illinois Central Shares have advanced 791 to
and Eries 464 to 47i.
There has been a marked disposition to sell Atlantic
and Great Western Consolidated Bonds and buy Certifi-
cates of Debenture, so that while the latter remain steady
the former have declined 1 per cent., or to 20 to 21.

(From Messrs. Bowles, Brevet, and Co.'s Circular.)
Paris, Oct. 31, 1867.
We issue our circular under to-day's date, no business
being transacted to-day (All Saints' Day).
Our market has continued subject to marked fluctua-
tions, and the final intervention in the affair of Rome, with
the absence of reliable advices as to the progress of events
in that quarter, have occasioned much depression and
very unsettled feeling.
United States Securities show little variaVon, and We

Advicos from New York arc to the 30th inst.
Exchange on London

(From Messrs. Belding, Keith, and Co.'s Circular.)
FRIDAY EVENING, Nov. 1.
The market for American Securities has shown a con-
tinual advance since yesterday week, and the warlike news
from the Continent has produced but little effect on it.
This favourable change is chiefly to be attributed to the
fall in the price of gold in Nov York, which has once
more reached 141, our latest telegrams being of Wednes-
day's date.
United States 5-20 Bonds of both issues have advanced
per cent., and closed yesterday at 70 to 70-1 for the
1862'5, and 681 68k-for the 1865'5.
The advance in Illinois Centrals has been 2-1- per
cent.,
the closing quotation being 80/ and 80/ ; while Erie Shares
have risen about the same, and closed 471 and 47f.
Atlantic and Consolidated Mortgage Bonds have been
the exception, and have declined about 1 per cent. They
closed flat at 20 and 21.

To-day has been a holiday at tho Stock Exchange.
