AMERICAN SECURITIES IN EUROPE
The New York Times alluding to the bet
ter feeling in England, in relation to Ameri
can Securities, says
"The practical proofs OF this feeling ar'
found in the orders which are being filled il
this market, running chiefly on the Bonds o
such OF the leading raiIrOads-Erie and Hi
nois Central the most prominent-as seemed
TO be unduy depressed ut home. These or.
dcrs are not cXtravagant in amount, but are
mostly Tiled with promptness at the limits
out, in various American Stocks, from $780,.
900 to 100000, rs near Us we can ascertain. y
Another letter received by the Atlantic
from London banker holds this cheering
language:
ave are inclined to believe that considera.
BILE orders have gone out from this country
for purchase of various American Railroad
Bonds, and if these do not have some effect
in restoring confidence with you, we shall be-
gin to fear that there must be more real cause
for distrust than meets the eye. Money here
has been in very active demand during the
last week, but on the broad view Of the qucs-
ton there is no doubt that it will become
easier, and That ere long the Bank must re-
ducc the laie Of discounts. Our harvest, Ow-
ing 20 the late unprecedcntly fine weather,
FAR exceeds expectation, and another fortnight
OF such weather will secure The bulk of The
crop. Grain has already fallen very much,
and though there may be some reaction, The
abundant crops throughout Europe will Sc
cu'c tho downward tendency. We fear in
some branches Of commerce diicu tics will
arise from heavy lOsscs-and on both sides OF
The wafer we expect iailurcs-but The public
have been growing rich, and not having in
vested much Of their surplus capitai for The
las SIX months, rs sOOn rs the Bank reduces
below ) per cent. they will make investments
very rapidly.
"Somc OF our Joint Stock Banks have last
week "ivcn notice that they will only allow
5! per cent. ON deposits, &c. There would
he y GOOD demand for American Stocks here
il holders were disposed 10 meet The views Of
purchaser, by selling ut American prices"
