The panic which prevailed in Paris yesterday erer-
eiseci a most mischievous effect upon our market during
the latter part of the day. The speech of the King
of Prussia was made the pretext by adverse specu-
tators to once more raise the apprehension of war.
Rentes fell 1i per cent., and here the Funds in gym-
Patty fell / per cent. A corresponding decline took
131.4°0 in all other leading securities. This morn-
dig Di mow eational feeling prevails, and in

Therepurcnased slightly advanced prices.

foreign stocks are nrmer, except Egyptian, which
are very flat. English railways have also improved,
h
one exception. The dividend of the Caledonian
Railway, at the rate of 15 per cent. per annum, is a
Feat disappointment, and the present price Is not
More than 695. American Securities are better.
The Discount Market remains very quiet, with
rates at 15 to 1 per cent., and there is no inquiry at
the Bank of England.

Iv, „_",e following is from Messrs. Satterthwaite's
tt::4l3r circular :—" There has been but slight flue-
elt"Leas in the London market for American se-
a Ilties during the past week. Yesterday there was
s,,,traetional advance in the price of United States
f0.46s on the result of the New England election
d:ealiadowing the choice of General Grant as Presi-
be°t, thus inducing the belief that no attempt will
ill °lade to pay the principal of Government Bonds
tzoeurreney instead of gold. The 1862 Bonds close
eel to 72 ; the 1865'5, 704 to 70i ; and the 10-40's
t° 664. There has been but little doing in Illi-
(itta Central shares ; the recent greatly reduced
to (Itlians for Eries have brought numerous buyers
teethe market, so that the price at 30 to 305 has
'ha well sustained."
