Ftlontg 'Dada not Citg FRIDAY EVENING. A Palm as intense, and, as we believe, in the sequel as unfounded (se far as any real ground of alarm is concerned), as any on men', bris taken possession of the moneyed world during the week. When panic takes place it is impossibleto say what people may do under its influence, but we certainly never c,rfetea to Ft . e Consols tall ( from the hieliest point" nearly 11 per cent.. in it limo of univenel prosperity. Our revenue, as will be seen by the nest ram, nes never more flourishing. We hate (not withstnujing five or cix millions have gone out) within ono milliun as much gold as ever we were known to hal. , in the oolDrs of the Bank prior to the Califor us.an and Atooralian diaoo‘eries. :the rcehnuges, which have been for some Cron ailvriee to I:nglana, turceil in our favour. We have this week received nearly 600,00 bullion, and it las% crawl to be cxporte 1. The accounts from Australia are such that will completely check exports, and compel imports of 'Pim for the ruhanp bag rim to Ruch a point THE PRESS. that we expect to see even sovereigns returned to England. Why then, it may be asked, should Consols have fallen to 001? Because gobemouches went buzzing about, instilling into people's minds that Aus tralian paper, would cease to be discounted. The natural result was that every one set about making themselves safe ; the bankers sold or temporarily raised money on stock. Every one who had bills of exchange in their till sent them into the Bank of England to discount. This of course frightened the Bank, and they went on raising the rate until on Thursday last it was raised to 5 per cent. When we see the private securities or bills dis counted by the Bank increased in one week by 1,111000., we can hardly be surprised at the rate being raised to 46 ; nor can we be astonished at the directors rising to 5, when we understand that in one day (Wednesday last), probably in anticipation of, and to provide against, contingencies, 700,000/. in bills was sent. in for discount. Of course this measure was followed by the discount-houses allowing more on call, and charging 0 per cent. for the bills they dis counted. But the question comes to this—is there any real cause for this enormous increase in the value of money 7 We admit the Australian markets are overdone, and that a check will be given In exports; but this trill be the very cause of tummy being cheaper instead of dearer. We expert within the next six months that the bullion in the Bank—which, be it remem bered, is the 'ammeter which will guide its opera tions—will he larger than it has ever been before. This is one view of the case : and this is the view taken by the more sane portion of the public; for emisols have revovered from 901 to 0:1R, notwith withstanding the Bank of England having raised the rate to 5 per cent. There is evidently no pressure of stock on the market, as the public have taken off all that has been sold, and are continuing to invest ; and we garden holy call attention to our statement of the settlement of the railway-share account, to show how little cause there has been for the dread of pressure. It is reported thst the allied Sovereigns of Russia and Austria have sent for Baron Rothschild to ()bout/ ; and, si•! the baron is no soldier, it is pre sumed he is sent for on a financial operation. The Consol Market to-day is very firm : the prce opened 021 1, and gradually rose to 1411, at which price they closed. Money on stock is not worth nn re than 21 to 0 per rent. The public have been latge buyers. The Corn Market gtill continues very firm Money in the Discount Market is tight ; but the bankers ale very full of it, having emply provided against all contingencies. RAILWAYS. In order to show bow ungrounded the panic has been in railway shares, the settlement of the account has incontestably proved that the public have been investing largely in lieu of selling. The scarcity of shares has been unprecedented, and, notwithstanding the high rato of money, actually i to 1 per cent. for a fortnight, and the inency for nothing, has been given for the loan 01 London and North-Western Stock, # per cent. for Great Western, and from to on every other railway shale of the principal lines. Now, this clearly proves that the depreciation has been caused, not by :ffles of bond fide stock, but by speculators; so that, whenever money becomes cheaper, or politics assume a more cheering aspect. a very considerable rise will take place in shares. The traffic, we observe, continues to increase on the main lines, especially on Great Northern, which is reaping a harvest from the sagacious compact they have made relative to the conveyance of coals. We refer to the subjoined lists, showing the fluctuations which have occurred. The market has now assumed a more healthy appearance tbau for months past, and nothing can prevent a rise but a war. FOREIGN FUNDS. Foreign funds have been very low, but have risen today considerably, especially Peruvian. The public have taken advantage of the low price of this stock to invest largely, and it is understood that sufficient guano is now on its way to secure the dividends for three years. PRICES CURRENT.
