STOCKS WEAK AND LOWER.
The stock market was heavy all day and underwent
decline ranging from 2S to 17s per cent-the latter
extreme occurring In Northwestern, which broke to
69l4 just as the Exchange was about to close. The
depressing influences, outside the constant ham,
mering and opposition OF the 'bcar'' clique, were
to-day the advance OF the Bank of England rate Of
discount and the result or the election in Georgia.
the anti-administration majority in that State hav
ing excited fears that the Grant ticket may be de-
feated throughout the entire South, while serving
at the same time to help the opposition chances in
Pennsylvania and still more remotely in
THE NOVEMBER ELECTION
throughout the whole country. 1t is a visionary
influence certainly, after all the professions OF Mr.
Greeley; but the surer prospect of his election
threatens the removal of the present debt-reduc
ing, bondbuying administration and the
substitution OF something experimental.
At least Wall street felt in bad
humOr over the result in Georgia and conjured
up pictures of q new financial policy, which might
be hostile to the steady, easy-going way of the
present regime So that with the Mephistophelean
mischief of the .'bearn cques and their tightening
of the money market,

hour of business the extent of which will be seen
in our table below. Boston, Hartford and Erie

conspicuous sufferers all around falling proper

sales and decline from 20 to 1871.
