80, Lombard-street, E. 0., Thursday, Oct. 10.
During the past week American Securities have under-
gone a considerable amount of fluctuation, owing lo the
double cause at work, viz.--gold in the United States, and
the tendency to follow the decline of Securities on the
Continent caused by the warlike rumours lately current.
'With regard to 5-20's of both issues this tendency has
been downwards, the 1862's having touched 71f on Tues-
day, when the 63's were at 69, allowing a wider dif-
ference than usual. This took place on the receipt of the
New York telegram, quoting gold at the high figure of
145 f. At the close, however, there was a revival, and
we quote 1862's 718 74 and 1865's 69! 70, showing an
improvement of ± per cent. in the one, and i per cent. in
the other on the closing prices of last Thursday. Illinois
shares have been tolerably steady, ranging between
76i sellers and 78 buyers. This evening, however, they
close per cent. higher, viz., 774 781 ; Eries have followed
pretty regularly, the price of gold, with, however, the large
margin of 2 per cont. occasionally. They close at 438 44,
having touched 40 to 41 last Friday. Atlantic and Con-
solidated Mortgage Bonds remain unaltered. They close
at 20 to 21j.

(From E. F. Satterthwaite and Co.'s Weekly Circular, Oct. 9.)
Our advices from New York, per the China, are to the
23rd ult. The Money Market remained tight, which cre-
ated some uneasiness. The demand, however, was a very
legitimate one, being for moving the large Western crops.
The influence of this business was beginning to be felt on
the railroads, most of which aro showing increased re-
ceipts for the first two weeks of September.
ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN.
The report of the Committee of investigation into
the affairs of this company has at length been issued
and circulated amongst the bond and shareholders,
and from its perusal we conclude that a searching
examination has been made, and that the worst is
known. We are certainly much disappointed to find that
so great a delay in resuming payment of coupons is pro-
posed, and we can only attribute this to the desire in ar-
ranging the company's affairs at this juncture, not to make
any propositions which are not only feasible, but which
there is almost the certainty of being able to carry out.
We were not at all prepared to find that so large a sum
as is stated was required to put the road in good running
order. In the autumn of 1865 we know that, with a smull
exception, the track was in excellent running condition,
and surely, if the money raised early in 1866 had been
spent upon the road and equipment, which wo had every
reason to believe would be the case, no such sums as those
set down could now be required.
We observe that the committee has convened a meeting
for the 22d instant, this date being fixed in order to give
ample time for the consideration of the details of the
report. Now it appears to us that ',parties interested
would have been much better able to form a judgment
on what course they should pursue had a statement
been made as to what the receiver has done dar-
ing the six months he has had the management
of the concern, and what actual profit he has earned.
The traffic returns are steadily less as compared with last
year's take; but, as to whether the line is being worked
to more or less profit, we have no information. It would
further be interesting to know whether it is intended the
line shall continue to be worked by the receiver, or whether
the administration is to revert to the old channel.
Notwithstanding the unsatisfactory state of affairs dis-
closed, we are disposed to think that probably no better
plan for the future can bo struck out than that proposed by
the committee, especially as it can be carried on without
asking for more money to be subscribed, and without in-
creasing legal expenses or legal troubles.
Since our last the London market for United States
Bonds has been entirely influenced by Continental
news, and during the week in sympathy with the panic;
on the Paris Bourse 5-20 Bonds were sold as low es
71f, and the 1865 issue at 69k, but from this point there
has been a rally, and the market to-day is steady at
quotations.
The chief feature in shares has been a rise in Eries of
$2, while Illinois on good buying close nearly $1 higher.
