Much satisfaction is expressed here at the reported
retirement of M. de Persigny, it being felt that the
arbitrary.oourse pursued by that minister towards
the press has deeply compromised the government,
and contributed materially to the recent triumph
of opposition deputies. From supporters of this
over-zealous and injudicious kind the Emperor, if
he is wise, does well to free himself. As the
prospects of the money market become more re-
assuring, it is perceived more clearly that nothing
but the prevailing uncertainty with regard to
foreign affairs keeps down the stock markets and
checks business. The slackness has been more
manifest to-day than for some time past. English
railway stocks have scarcely varied in price.
Foreign securities were generally weaker, the ap-
prehension that the rates of " continuation " at
the coming settlement will be considerable having
induced further sales by speculative holders.
The discount market yesterday was moderately
easy, under the influence of the favourable appear-
ance of the exchanges, and the prospect of a con-
tinued influx of gold to the Bank. Good bills were
readily placed at 31 per cent. At the Bank of Eng-
land the applications were of an average character.
About 54,000/. in gold was purchased by the
Bank yesterday.
