London, England, 1870-11-18 00:00:00

The stock markets, influenced by the unfavourable
aspect of the Eastern question, opened to-day
with renewed depression. Although the panic did
'not in intensity approximate that of yester-
day, there was considerable uneasiness apparent, and
with the exception of Spanish, which iMproved in value
on the announcement that the Duke of Aosta had been
elected king by a large majority, all classes of securities
have given way in value.._ The fall iii prices
however, was not nearly •so heavy as %yesterday,
a marked tendency to improvement being noticeable
towards the close. In railway stocks theaverage fall has
not exceeded a per cent, that of foreign bonds being esti-
mated at about 2 per cent. Home securities have
continued unsettled. Consols at one time fell to 912,
but the quotation subsequently improved to 924, 924 for
delivery and the account, being an advance of 4 per cent.
