UNITED STATES BANK STocK.-A late rise in
the market price of the United States bank
stock has been observed, and it has been stated
that it was owing TO the anticipated improve
ment in the property of the bank at Cairo, upon
the completion of the Illinois central railroad
A private letter from Amsterdam, dated October
25th, has been shown to US, which probably gives
the correct reason for the unusual advance in
the stock. II says that the Dutch stockholders
are about to appoint committee in reference to
the bank, with instructions to inquire into its
condition and adopt measures which may place
them in more favorable position than they now
occupy. This movement, on being known at
Amsterdam, created a lively demand for stock,
which rose 81 above the previous quotations.
Orders were Immediately sent to New York and
Philadelphia, to buy the stock, and from this
circumstance its advance in the American market
is clearly to be traced. OF the special object in
contemplation by the Amsterdam committee we
are not informed but it probably has some refer
ence to reduction in the expenses of the trus-
tees and a speedy winding up of the concern
