• THE FUNDS.
A general panic seems to have seized the English
Stockholder, which many consider ass plain indica-
tion of an expected impost on this property. When
Consols first opened for the account, they began at
65 ; and so favonfable an aspect did affairs take at
that time, that every one was eager to purchase.
, But they soon began to decline, and they have gra-
dually done so until this morning, when they were
dotte at only 61, and coeld find no purchasers at that
price. The gloom that at present pervades the money
market is almost beyond precedent: if a purchaser
offered one-fourth below the price of the market this
morning, he was sure to meet with a customer, so
anxious was every one to sell at the above price.
