satterthwaite's Circular, received by tho Niagara
contains the following reference to American secu.
/ rifles in London: .N.
There has been only limited amount of busines.
In American Securities in London during the past
/ week, and prices arc without material change
though, in many cases, slight advance has been es
tablished, owing to the extraordinary firm tone pre-
valent in the New York market by the late arrivals
nothing, however, seems to stimulate any desire OF
the part of British capitalists TO take American rail
road Securities freely and We do not anticipate
thing Will, except a steady course Of improvement
and the actual return Of most Of the companies to
really sound state and condition.
