mvl& E. F. Sallerawaite and Co.'s Weekly Circular,

June 27.)

Our advices froni New York by the " Persia " aro to
the 12th inst. They report a continued steady demand
for Government Securities, at about former rates. In
Railroad Shares wo notice a decline in Erica of $4, and an
improvement in Illinois of $2. Other descriptions showed
but little variation.

Railroad Bonds and State Stocks wore steady ; any de-
cline in the former would have induced buyers to come
forward. The fluctuations in the premium on Gold had
been heavy ; the quotation when the " Persia "left had
declined to 143, but subsequent news by the mid-week
steamer shows a sharp advance until on the 17th it touched
1581. Money was reported easy, and borrowers on first-
class securities were freely supplied at 6 per cent.
Via " Greencastle " we have received the following
quotations, being to the 16th inst.:—

We aro glad to see that American Railroad receipts aro
again on the increase, the only lino which shows any
serious falling off being the Erie. The roads which show
the largest improvements are, the Chic.-►,go and Great
Eastern, Michigan Southern, and Atlantic and Great
Western ; the first of these lines is now being developed,
and we think will, ore long, be in a prosperous condition.
The Atlantic and. Great Western return is, we think, also
very satisfactory, and the recent strike in the Pennsylvania
and Ohio coal fields being at an end, the local or " way
traffic showing a steady development, wo hope shortly to
report a still further improvement.
The London market for American Securities has since
our last been subject to considerable fluctuations. Towards
the close of last wbek, on the anticipation that advices
from New York would report a slight further decline in
Gold, prices were well maintained, and United States 5-20
Bonds were freely taken up to CO, but on the arrival of the
"Nova Scotian" yesterday, with the unexpected intelli-
gence of an advance of 15 per cent. in the premium on
Gold, quotations gave way quite three per cent., but from
this point have rallied to 644 4, the settlement of the ac-
count developing a short supply of Stock. Illinois and
Erio Shares have been affected from the same cause as
5-20's, but have also rallied from the extremely low prices
which they at one time touched, and close 734 to 745, and
38 to 4 respectively, but not so firm at those quotations as
they appeared at one time to-day.
