HONEY MARKET.-(THIS DAY.)

ONE WOW=
A fear that complications may arise between the
French and Italian governments, in connexion
with the Roman question, caused the stock
markets to open this morning with depression.
Consols were dealt in at a fresh reduction of
per cent., and have since been without
recovery, notwithstanding a large purchase
of New Three per Cents. on account of an Irish
bank. The changes in foreign stocks and British
railways are not numerous, but are in an unfa-
vourable direction. Midland stock is offered,
the increase in the goods traffic of this line
being less than was expected. Nevertheless, the
return for the week ending the 29th ult. shows a
total increase of 3,159/. compared with the corre-
sponding period of 1866. Colonial government
debentures and Canadian railway shares are steady.
The rate for choice bills in the discount market
is still lf to 11 per cent.

Consols are quoted 94 3-16 to 5-16, or 941, for
money and the Bth October, and 941 to I for the
November settlement. The Three per Cents.
Reduced and New Three per Cents. are flat, at 021
to I, ex div.
. _ .

The railway market is flat, but the only altera-
tion in the principal stocks is a decline of to
per cent. in Midland, and South Eastern. An-
nexed are the prices :—Metropolitan, 124 to ;
Great Western, 48 to ; London and North
Western, 114 to ; Midland, 120} to ; Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire, 127 to ; Caledonian, 1044
to 105, ex div. ; South Eastern, 681 to 69 ;
Great Eastern, 311 to 32 ; Great Northern, 1104
to 1114 ; ditto A, 1164 to 117 ; London, Chatham.
and Dover, 191 to 20 ; North British, 33 to ;
and Brighton, 541 to 4.

The dealings in foreign stocks exhibit a pre-
ponderance of sales, and the general course of
prices is unfavourable. Turkish bonds of 1862
and Italian of 1861 have declined
per cent., the present prices being 61 to
62 and 461 to 47, respectively. Turkish
Five per Cents. of 1865, and Spanish Passive are #
lower—the former at 31t to I, and the latter at
191 to it ; Greek are at 13+ to 14 ; Spanish Cer-
tificates, 161 tog ; Chilian scrip, par to prem. ;
Egyptian, 1864, 82 to 83 ; and Mexican, 15 to t.
United States 5-20 Bonds are t per cent. worse,
at 72 to I ; but Erie and Illinois Central railway
shares are without alteration, at 411 to 421. and
77 to t, respectively.
_

Anglo-American Telegraph shares show no
change, at 17} to , but Atlantic Telegraph Eight
per Cent. Preference are 2s. 6d. higher at 3
_ _

In the market for Bank sharea, Alliance had
receded 10s., viz., to 104 to 91 di.., but Imperial
Ottoman are 2.. 6d. better, at 11 to 0; dia. Lon-
don and Westminster are quoted 68 to 69 ; Union
of London, 37 to 38 ; Chartered Mercantile of
India, 28} to 294 ; and London and County, 55
to 56. _ _

—FTnan cial 'hares are unchanged. International
Financial are called 2i to li di'. ; London, 23 to
21 die. ; General Credit, 2/ to 2 dia. ; and Credit
Foncier, 511 to 4 die.

The creditors of Messrs. Walker, Hamilton, and
Co., commission merchants, of Manchester and
Glasgow, are understood to have accepted a com-
position of 6a. &I. in the pound, one-half to be
guaranteed.

At Paris this morning the Three per Cent.
Renter opened at 67fr. 86c. for the account,
showing a fresh fall of fully I per cent.

vails upon the Bourse. The stock markets here
have consequently experienced a further reduc-
tion. Italian Bonds of 1861 are at 44, being
li per cent. lower than at 1 o'clock.

The bills of Messrs. Peter Buchanan and Co., an
old and respectable mercantile house, of Glasgow,
have been returned. Their transactions have
been chiefly in connexion with Canada, and the ab-
sence of remittances from that colony is stated to
be the immediate cause of the present difficulties.
Some considerable losses, however, are understood
to have been made in tea. The liabilities repre-
sent a large amount, but the exact sum has not
transpired. Mr. Peter Buchanan, who died about
five years ago, left his fortune, amounting to about
180,0001., in the firm.
