accothing to present appearances there will be an excess
of exports for next week.
I notice a further increase in the stocks of cotton at
Southern ports ; and by the best information it seems pro-
bably that the receipts from the interior during January
will continue on a liberal scale.

From Messrs. E. F. Satterthwaile awl co.'s Weekly Circular,

January 17.)

By the "Cuba" our latest advices from New York are
to the 2nd inst.; they report a continued demand for all
Government Securities at an advance of about one per
cent. On the impression that money would for the next
few months be very abundant, there was an active inquiry
for Railroad Stocks, notwithstanding the very largo dimi-
nution in the traffic receipts on most of the roads. Illinois
Central remained without change, but in Now York Cen-
tral and Erie we note au improvement of $1; the latter
stock was scarce, and as much as throe-eighths of adollar
was paid for one day's loan of the Stock. For Railroad
Bonds and State Stocks there was more demand, and quo-
tations were firm.

Gold showed a declining tendency, being last quoted at
144.
We are without tho usual New York Bank Returns for
the week ending 30th December ; Monday, the usual day
for making up the Statement, being a universal holiday.

The interruption in telegraphic communication with the
provinces has much interfered with the transaction of
business in the London Market for American Securities
during the past week, but on lower quotations of gold
from New York there has been a decided improvement.
United States 5-20 Bonds have to-day changed hands at
661, but do not leave off at the highest point, the final
quotation being 651 to 66. In Illinois Shares the business
has been very limited, but they close steady at 76 to 1.
Erie Shares have been in request for shipment to New
York, and on the week exhibit an improvement of more
than $l, closing 57} tot.
There has been a slight reaction from the recent ad-
vance in Atlantic and Great Western Bonds, but the
Debentures remain steady with a fair demand, at former
quotations. The paid-up Consolidated Bonds are 781 to
791, ex the quarter's coupon due 15th inst.

PRESENTATION BY FRENCH WORKMEN TO THE
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT.--A Paris correspondent says :
I mentioned last summer that the Ph,are de la Loire had
opened a subscription in its columns for the purpose of
presenting a medal to the American Government in com-
memoration of the sympathy evinced by the working
classes throughout France with the nation on the murder
of President LINCOLN. The subscription was limited to
one sou, and 5,000 f. was the sum required. This has now
been realised, and on the 84th April the ceremony is to
take place of entrusting the medal to Mr. CH. THOMAS,
ex-editor of the National, and intimately connected with
America by his gigantic commercial transactions. Mr.
THOMAS will bo the medium of transferring this interest-
ing memorial to the Congress."

Dr. Roler, who was a surgeon in General Sher-
man's army during the grand march through Georgia, is
visiting • the various hospitals in Europe, with spe•;ial
letters of introduction from the United States Secretary of
War. He is now at Berlin.

The widow of Stonewall Jackson supports her-
self and child upon an income of $l5O per year, the rental
of a small house. She was recently in Baltimore, and was
loaded down with substantial tokens of the esteem of the
people, and by a benefit at a Mobile Theatre also secured a
little money.
