The Cations Stock Exchange markets are still

flnsncislly there is no new feature of serious import.
anon, yet the funds have to-day experienced a fresh
fall of per ant., making a total reduction of fully
11 per cent. during the week. Railway shares also
show to-day a further general fall, averaging f to I
per cant. in the leading descriptions. Since last
Saturday the depreciation in this important branch
of the market represents lf to It per cent. in Great
Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and London and
North Weston: stocks; 21 per ant. inYork and North
Midland about 9 per cent. in London and South
Western, Berwick, and Midland; 31 per cent. is
Great Northern, with a proportionate fall in most
other lines. Not is the variation in the value of this
class of property traceable to the announcement o;
new fluenciel facts, for the dividends bad been pre-
viously announced, the halt-yearly official statements
Witted, and all the more important meetings
held. In almost every other department of the
Stock Exchange a similar unfavourable movement
has taken place, sundry bank stocks and shares in
newly established undertakings suffering especially.
The cause of the panic seems to consist primarily in
a hastily-adopted idea that a period of M01:111.
tory pressure is approaching. There is nothing in
the present aspect of the money market, however, to
merest extravagant apprehensions. A good demand
tot money is usually experienced at this period of the
financial quarter, and the activity of trade may, per-
haps, render the market more than ordinarily strin-
gent. Should the ➢ank, however, be compelled to
rake its retie of discount under the influence of an
extraordinary demand for accommodation, and
should the market be subjected to temporary
disturbance, it may become a question for the cam.
menial public to consider whether they have need-
lessly increased the pressure by giving way to un-
founded uneasiness. When a large section of the
mercantile community are nervously overanxious to
secure themselves against the contingency of • mo.
dente and easily explained advance in the rates of
discount, they not unfrequently occasion the
very evil against which they seek to make
provision. The current of Stock Exchange
speculation from day to day must not
always be interpreted as a sure criterion of,
our monetary position and prospects; for It is fre-
quently found that operators follow each other like
a flock of sheep. The transactions of a few leading
members of the home, though, perhaps, unimportant
is amount, have been known to give • bias to the mar-
kets sgainst the influence of which notbiog can for the
time prevail, continuous sales or purchases (as the ease
may be), following in uninterrupted succession until
the turning point is reached, when an equally
marked reaction in the contrary direction gene-
rally sasses. Habitual speculators are eery
quick to seise the opportunities thus afforded,
and, after following a tall with the utmost
pertinacity, will at once reverse their amounts, and
operate for the rise. When decidedly adverse fee-
tures are absent, as seems to be the case at present,
perhaps the best course for the stock-holding public
to adopt is to refrain from taking any part in epees-
sties sereseeets, salmi indeed prices should be

subjected to so heavy a fall am to tempt fresh invest.
manta at the reduced rates.

In Lombard-street to-day the supply of money wail
ample, and, although late rates are maintained, no
pressure whatever wu observable. It is believed that
next Thursday's instalment of one million on the new
loan has been largely provided against. No further
payments on this score will then remain to be made.
Console, which closed yesterday at 94 to / for the
Bth Oct., gradually declined to-day to 931, and stood at
the close of the Stock Exchange at 931 exactly. Foe
money the last price wee 931. The chief feature of the
day's business consisted of heavy sales, partly directed
to lower prices, and partly to close the accounts of
previous speculative buyers. The transfer books of a
large number of government securities being now
shut for the dividends, the official business report is
brief, viz. : —Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 93k,

In the foreign stock market Turkish securities
show chief weakness. The fall to-day was nearly I
per cent., owing partly to the settlement. The " con-
tinuation " on each of therm stocks, however, did not
exceed 3.16 to 5.16 per cent. Several other clause
of foreign bonds showed flatness, but Grenadian and
Venezuelan were in demand.

The shares of the new banks and discount com-
panies participated in the general heaviness of the
