MONETARY REPORTS.-YESTERDAY.

The Stock Exchange to-day has presented a scene of
some confusion. The news of the movement of Russia
in regard to the Eastern question, and the unanimous
feeling in condemnation of Prince Gortschakoff induced a
semi-panic in the foreign market, and prices generally re-
ceded. Consols at one time were done at 92, but towards the
close of the day more firmness prevailed, and a recovery
took place, to 921, 92j. The principal collapse was in
foreign stocks, and more particularly, as might be ex-
pected, in Turdish and Egyptian securities, and the quo-
tation in the market have been depressed throughout the
day. Turkish Five per Cents., opened at 41, 42/, recovered
to 42k, 42f ; but subsequently returned to 41k, 414, and
closed at the worst point of the day. Egyptian of 1868
opened at 74, 75k, and after being done at 75/, 75, left
off at 74/-, 75. Nearly all the foreign stocks have
been similarly circumstanced, prices shewing a heavy
decline in the morning, a - recovery in the midday, and
again a decline at the close of business. The French loan
has receded to 14, discount, at which price it has re-
mained throughout the day. Brazilian (1863) has de-
clined 1; Buenos Ayres (1870), 1; Egyptian (1862), 1;
