(From Messrs. E. F. Satterthwaite and Co.'s Weekly Circular,

By the " Java " we have advices from New York to the
26th inst. Government Stocks, with the exception of the
7-30 Currency Loan, were all strong and in fair request,
with an upward tendency. Railroad Stocks, with some
few exceptions, were hardly so strong; Michigan Central
on the lower rate of dividend had declined $6, and Illinois
Central, and New York Central, show a decline of $2 and
$1 respectively ; while Cleveland and Toledo, Cleveland
and Pittsburgh, show an advance. Railroad Bonds and
State Stocks continue inactive.

Money was abundant at 6 per cent., but from the un-
certainty prevailing as to the action of the Secretary of
the Treasury on the currency question money was de-
posited with the banks in preference to making advances
on stock, which accounts for a large increase, nearly six
millions in a fortnight, in the bank return. Gold was last
quoted at a slight decline.

tations, being to the 30th ult.

NEW YORK CENTRAL RAILROAD COMPANY.
At a meeting of the Directors of the New York Central
Railroad Company, held at the office of the Company, at
the Exchange, in the city of Albany, on the 10th day of
November, 1864,

•
Resolved—That hereafter representatives appointed in
foreign countries on the estates of parties residing out of
the United States, who were stockholders in this Com-
pany, be permitted, on the production of satisfactory evi-
dence of their authority, to receive not exceeding two semi-
annual dividends on the stock of such deceased party,
but thereafter no further dividend shall be paid, nor shall
the stock standing in the name of any such deceased party
be transferred until administration on such estate be ob-
tained in this State.

But this rule shall not apply to cases where the amount
of the stock does not exceed (30) thirty shares, in which
cases the parties heretofore existing may be continued
both as to dividends and transfers.

An extract from the minutes.
(Signed) R. S. DIMES, Secretary.
Wo find in the United States Railroad and Miniug
Register, published in Philadelphia, of the 23rd December,
the following letter, which we had not expected would
have been made public, but seeing it is so we copy:it, as it
may be a matter of interest to
.Erie Shareholders 'in this
country, to be informed of the propositions submitted by
the Atlantic and Great Western to the Erie Directors.
We considered then, and aro nowof the same opinion, that
the propositions submitted, when our Mr. Satterthwaite
was in America, were so reasonable in their character, and
practically so advantageous to the interests of Erie Share-
holders, that wo cannot understand how the Erie direction
did not at once accede to them.
