markets opened heavily, and Consols at one time
showed a further extreme depression of i per met.
Buyers then coming forward, the funds closed 3 per
cent. wane than yesterday, making a total redaction
of lk per cent. since last Saturday afternoon. Rail-
way stooks are comparatively better supported, bat
still continue to decline. During the present
discouraging aspect of the market buyers hold
aloof, with a view to purchasing at the
lowest possible point. Meanwhile, uncertainty as to
how far the financial embarrassments of the Conti-

nent may affect our own position continues to pejo-
dice the market and to induce speculative sales. It
is still believed, however. that the public not only
refrain from selling, but gradually absorb stock. This
absorption will of oourse be stimulated in properties
to the fall in prices.
Consols, which closed yesterday at 931 to for
the Bth October, opened this morning at the same
price, but soon fell, on speculative sales, to 93.
" sellers." Au influential purchase then caused a
rally to 931 to 1, at which the market closed. For

business report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Con-

Foreign stocks continue heavy. Peruvian Fear-
and•nHelf per Cents. fell about 11 per cent.; Mexi-
can and Spanish Deferred, 3 per cent.; and Turkish
Guaranteed Four per Cents. j per cent. Turkish
Six per Cents. were at one time marked as low as
.100, but left off a shade firmer than yestenlay, the
fall being arrested by the consideration of the heavy
speculative sales lately effected, coupled with the
approaching deduction of the half-yearly dividend.

TUB REPORTED OIITSRIAI lit NSW ZRAlJellne-a
We are glad to be able to gin an apparently satisfactory
ezolanstion of the reported collision between the military

Toraosaki Herald of the 3rd of May publishes as asennt
of another fight between the native 'tibia, but it does sot
appear that either the resident, or the troops have had any-
Utley to do with it. The Dumber of natives killed eons-
@ponds with the number said to have reran in the reported
affray, and as the dates cotrespind exactly we trust that
by some inadvertence this affair has hien the foundation of
enaggerated moot. However, it appears that great excite-
meat still prevails amongst the canna native vibes, who
are reported t 3 be making great preparation to revenge the
ceath of it. relatives, hot we trust tbst it well not exceed to
