London prices were a fraction higher than last night's clos. g here, and cables brought some buying orders, particularly in Erie. The first prices showed gaius of from X to 3¢ per cent. The features of the warket were the heavy trad- ing in Atchison, and the continued sharp de- cline to 50. There were many rumors afloat affecting this property, amongst which was one that the company was trying to raise funds for the February interest, and that the subscribers to meet the guaranty fund, in- tended to withdraw. Also that the state- igned ; rown igned; ) vice ment for ISS8 would show a de! i CHURCH DIRECTORY, cluding the dividends, of £3,000,000.
