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

September 19.)
By the "Persia," our advicos from New York are to the
4th inst. Tho Stock market was inactive, and prices
generally for Railroad Stock a shade lower. In State
Stocks and Railway Bonds the business was very limited,
and no alteration of moment in quotations was reported.
For Government Securities there was a good demand, and
they were well supported. Gold exhibited a declining
tendency. Money easy at former rates.

It is interesting as well as satisfactory to observe how
rapidly the Southern States of America ate proceeding
with the restoration of financial and social order. Their
railways are being, or rather have been, to a great extent
reconstructed. State obligations existing prior to the war
are recognised, and arrangements made for future payment
of interest, and the old banking institutions are being re-
established. As proof of the above, we note that the con-
version of the Bonds of the State of Tennessee, referred
to in our circular of the 14th March, has been carried out,
and the first Coupon on the new or converted issue of
Bonds was punctually paid on Ist July, and a like arrange-
ment is being made for the resumption of payment of inte-
rest by North Carolina, and is anticipated with regard to
Virginia.

To some of our friends, the New Orleans Canal and
Banking Company was, before the war, well-known as a
prosperous undertaking ; wo are glad to learn that ar-
rangements have been made by this Company to resume
payment of dividends, and it is confidently anticipated that
they will be enabled to continuo to do so semi-annually.
The nominal value of the shares of the Company is to be
reduced from $l,OO to $5O each.

The last statement of the Bank of Louisiana gives a
very favourable report of the progress of liquidation, and
quite encourages tho hope that there will be considerable
surplus assets for Shareholders, and that it is not impro-
bable the business of the bank may be resuscitated.

ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.
New York Division Second Mortgage Bonds.
Pennsylvania do. First do. do.
Ohio do. First do. do.
Interest payable in London, Ist October, 1866.
The Coupons from the above Bonds will be paid on and
after Monday, the Ist October, 1866, and must bo left two
clear days at the office of the Company, 5, Westminster
Chambers, Victoria-street, Westminster, for examination.
If sent by post, a cheque for the amount will be remitted
in course.
The Drawn Bonds of the New York Division, Second
Mortgage, will also be paid off at par, on the same date,
in conformity with the terms of issue.

ATLANTIC AND GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.
We are informed that the traffic returns on this line for
August reach quite $529,000, and for the first week in
September the earnings are $157,000. This, in the face
of the falling off in passenger receipts from prevalence of
cholera, is very gratifying, and places the payment of inte-
rest on the bonds of the Company beyond question.
The usual fortnightly settlement in American securities
which has occurred since our last showed that a large
amount of the 5-20 Bonds recently imported were still on
the market ; this has naturally tended to check any further
improvement in them, and the closing quotation, 721 to I,
is a shade lower than this day week.
Illinois Central Shares have been neglected, but for
Eries there has been an active demand for shipment to
New York, and on the week they exhibit an improvement
of $2, the last price being 47 to 1.
Atlantic and Great Western Debentures have advanced.
2 per cent., and for the Consolidated Bonds, which are
steady at 49 to 50, there is a continued demand for invest-
ment. For some other Railroad Mortgages, such as De-
troit and Milwaukee, the Atlantic and Great Western
(Ohio) First Mortgage, there is also decidedly an improved
inquiry.
