A speciui of panic prevailed in the foreign stock
market this morning. Before the regular opening
of the market the anxiety on the part of weak
holders to sell was manifested in an extraordinary
degree, the result being that the quotations for the
more speculative stocks were very wide, and indeed
little more than nominal. Under the influence of
the prevailing anxiety 21,0001. of Mexican stock
was, it is said, sold at 40, yesterday's closing quo-
tation having been 421 to j, while Turkish Con-
solidds were sacrificed at 50, being • reduction of 2/
per cent. A recovery from this extreme depression
quickly set in, and, notwithstanding numerous
oscillations, was supported to the close, when the
market wore a considerably improved aspect,
although the feelin,, amongst the speculators was
still somewhat unsettled.
