HALF-PAST ONE:
The Stock Exchange was thrown into the greatest confusion
in the course of the morning, owing to one of its oldest brokers
and his son having absconded ; he was also broker to'
the Equitable Life Office. In consequence of the above
event the General Committee of the House have
been settling and the managers of the House are now assem-
bled, and it is expected that a Meeting will take place of the
Committee of the Fund of the decayed members of the Equi-
table Life Office to the present time ; it is not known to what
amount he is gone for. The broker who has absconded bor-
rowed yesterday 10001. in the House.
The above circumstance has tended to damp the Market,
which is rather flat at present. Consols for the Account, 591;
Money, 89k; Exchequer Bills, 11 9 prem. rather lower ;
