' MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.
CITY, THURSDAY EVENING.
TIMES.—The Stock-Exchange panic has con-
tinued to-day with increased force. Consols for
money opened at 81/, and, under the pressure of
constant sales, rapidly declined to 80/—a quotation
nearly two per cent. under the last official price of
yesterday. From this point, owing to the Bank
Court having broken up without the public announce-
ment of any change in the minimum rate of discount,
an advance took place to 811, but the reaction was
not maintained, and they left off at 801 to 811. For
the account on the 26th of November, the market
opened in a most unsettled state, and the first
quotation was 82/ to /. Subsequently they
went to 81/, then back again to 821
buyers, and they finally closed at 818 to 821.
The whole of these movements occurred in connexion
with the settlement which took place to•day, and as
the range of fluctuation during the account has
amounted to between 7 and 8 per cent., the differ-
ences to he arranged to-morrow will prove of extra-
ordinary magnitude. In the course of the day the
quotations of Reduced Three per Cents. presented a
most noticeable feature, that stock having declined
from its opening price of 801 to 791 ; after which a
purchase of 15,0001. was made by the Government
broker on account of the East India Guarantee Fund,
and it closed 79.1 to 80. Bank Stockleft off 178 to 181 ;
India Stock, 220 to 224; Three-and-a• Quarter per
Cents., 81 to 4; Long Annuities, 8 to 4; and India
Bonds, 355. to 255. dis. Exchequer Bills were
quoted in the morning. 335. to 20s. dis., and they
closed at 30s. to 255.

In the midst of all this excitement in the stock
market there has been no fresh mischief out of doors.
The causes of the existing state of things would,
therefore, seem to have had their origin, to a very
great degree, in the circumstances connected with the
