Friday, November 4. I
The Stock and Gold Markets continue very
much unsettled under the very conflicting ac-
counts from the army and the rumors of the
intended raid from Canada by the secessonists
upon our Northern borders. The election COM
pcations also assist in rendering operators
cautions, and, except in the old stocks, general
unwilingness to assume new stock obligations is
very perceptlble. The old bidders OF Reading
hold with tenaciiy the shares purchased for the
rise and the forthcoming dividend; while few
of the outside tlmid disciples are inclined to
throw overheard the shares recently purchased.
After the election is over we shall have calmer
waters and smoother sailing, when q strong
movement is predicted.
