Mining Stocks are very dull, and although undoubtedly
many of the Colorado Gold Stocks are now very cheap,
there is not the slightest inclination at present among out-
siders to touch them, the actual daily transactions continu-
ing very light.
Petroleum Stocks are fairly active, and Bennehoff Run,
Buchanan Farm, and United States are very strong. 1 here
is also a general inquiry for the stocks of those companies
owning Real Estate.
At the annual meeting of the Bonnehoff Run Petroleum
Company, on September 13th, the following trustees were
elected :—Cornelius Delameter, George A. Osgood, Cor-
nelius F. Timpson, John M‘Master, Charles Stanton,
Samuel W. Boocock, and Charles W. Whiley.
The following are the closing prices to-day for Express
Stocks :
Adams 641 to 65
American
United States 64 to 65
Wells, Fargo, and Co. ($35 paid) 55 to 57
Merchants' Union 22 to 22-}

(From E. F. Satterawaite and Co.'s Weekly Circular, Oct. 2.)
Our advices per Persia, from New York, are to the.2lst
ult.; there appeared at that date an iacreabing stringency
in the money market, caused by requirements for moving
the crops ; this tightness bad given a check to speculators
in Wall-street, and adversely affected the more speculative
descriptions of railroad shares. Government securities
were, however, but slightly lower, the demand for them
from Europe appearing to counteract the effect of other
influences.

By a telegram, dated Now York, Sept. 28, per the Atlan-
tic telegraph, the following prices have been received :
Gold, 143 k; United States Five-Twenties, 1181; Illinois,
122 ; Erie (CoMmon), 64/ ; Exchange (60 days), 1563.
The market in London for American Securities has
been dull since our last, with a tendency for Government
Bonds to decline in value, from sales pressed on account
of Continental bourses, which to-day has been very
marked, the Five-Twenty Bonds, 1862, having touched
on 71/.

The absence for two days of any quotations by Atlantic
Telegraph has deterred buyers operating, o wing to the un-
certainty of the price of gold in New York.
Erie Shares have been improving up till to-day, having
advanced from 40 to 42i; they close, however, flatter,
about 41. Illinois Shares remain steady. There exists a
good demand for Railroad Bonds payable in sterling. Vir-
ginia Sterling have also been inquired for at full rates.
Atlantic and Great Western Consolidated Bonds and De-
bentures have been more freely taken than for some time
past. The Report of the Committee of Investigation is
expected to be issued this week.

Paris, Oct. 4, 1867.

The declining tendency in American securities reported
in our last circultr of September 27 has continued dnring
the week, and they have in a manner shared in the preiail-
ing panic, occasioned by the alarming advicss from all
quarters, and serving to disquiet holders of all securities.
Sales have been pressed far beyond the needs of buyers,
resulting in a general decline in values and muoh de-
pression.
