LONDON, Oct. lo-The stock markets this
week on the continent have generally been
pretty steady, but the Bourse at Paris is an
exception.
The notes of the Monmouthsaire Newport
Old Bank wv. Williams and sons) were re-
fused payment yesterday at Messrs, Cocks,
Biddulph & Co.'s, the London agents. The
circumstances connected with the suspen-
sion are not known, but most probably lis
immediate use was the discredit arising
from the stoppage of the Monmoulhshre
and Gamorganshire Banking Company
The Bank was established in 1926. Its cir
culation, under Sir Robert Peel's act, was
limited TO $4,000, and the amount at which
it stood liz the return of last month was
SS595.
Nothing further has transpired respecting
the afTaiIs of the Two Monmouthshre Banks
which have suspended payment. The dis
tress caused in the country will be very
great but it is 10 be hoped that the proprie-
iary of both is composed of wealthy men;
and that the assets, with call upon the
shareholders, will suffice TO liqudate the
liabilities, particularly these of the small
class of creditors.
We understand that the difficulties which
caused the suspension of Messrs. Maitland,
Fawkss e. Co, on the 23d ult., have been
overcome, and that in the course of few
days their liabilities will be paid in full by
Mr.. Fawkes who will carry on the business
as heretofore.
The general tone of the Consol Market
ing on the whole been firm, and likely TO
encourage speculation for the rise. Within
the last two days, however, downward
tendency has been exhibited, and the opera
tors for the fall have speculaled 10 some ex-
tent.
