public securities. The first effect has been well sus-
tanned. The period which had elapsed between the
departure Of the steamers had strengthened and
confirmed the first impressions, and the public mind
was gradually settling down upon peace basis. A
few weeks will suffice to bring public opinion up to
the proper point. The last quotation for consols
was 90a per cent; ON the Gath Of January 81 per
cent was touched. The last bank return makes
good show. The following variations from the pre-
vious week were reported

importance. The cotton market was inactive, with
a slight advance in prices Breadstufs have par

In relation to American securities the London
circular of E. F. Satterthwaite Says
The market for American securities in London has
firm. The mali service being temporarily deransed,
New York; and, as tire next mail will bring ten days
later advicee, operations have been held What Ia
greatly attracted to home securities since the nesota-
lions for peace. We note, however, very strong de-
msnd for all the securities OF the Ioos Ceutra Raroad,
and at considerably advanced rates. There sH
few Erie bonds the Market especially the Sinking

In Manchester an improved feeling pervaded all
classes, without, however, any great accession Of
business. Nor is 1t apparent where any increase OF
demand can spring from, 30 little interruption TO
trade has the war engendered. The absence OF
stocks however, inspires confidence, and there was
more desire to renew contracts at old prices, which
spinners and manufacturers were unwilling to con-
cede. The transactions are consequently somewhat
restricted excepting, probably, particular descrip-
tons Of both goods and yarns, for which advanced
rates have been paid.
