SOUTHERN BONDS
require less comment than any other securities on
the board, remaining generally steady ana unaf
1ected by the prevailing excitement.
THE FOREIGN MARKET.
The discount demand at the Bank OF England
was moderate, as we'll us in open market Consols
were irmer, and advanced to e2X 92sl for both
money and account. Fiye-twenty bonds, 1865, DID,
were firm at 95ai. New fves were firm at g1s6.

1t is to be borne in mind, however, that this CEN
dition OF affairs prccedes that Of which we may
have reports tomorrow when the situation on
this side OF the Atlantic is published.
RAILROAD BONDS.
The effect OF the general raid on the stock market
cially on the Old and regular securities Naturally
those who daily seek opportunities to make invest
ments prudently awaited further Developments
but the waiting produced 70 weakness.
PACIFIC MAIL.
The report Of the loss of another Of the steam
ships OF this line not only came too late to ma.
terially affect the value OF the stock, which might
have resulted at any other time, but the street
was too thoroughly aroused by other events and
loaded with weightier affairs to give heed to the
dropping out OF three or four hundred thousand
dollars worth Of property belonging even to toe
Pacific Mail Company.
IN CONCLUSION
Commenting upon the events of the day, we can
only reiterate what has been expressed else
where-to wit, that, while we may seem to be upon
the edge OF panic, there are really no grave rea-
sons for public alarm. Deposltors will naturally
feel anxious and perturbed. There may be
heavy drafts on various banking institu-
tons. Other failures may he reported TO-
morrow on ensuing days, as the orshoots of
the sudden avalanche that has just occurred,
because brokers are q good deal like O pile OF
bricks-knOck down one, and q dozen or so are
pretty sure to follow; but the general prosperity of
the country Is such, the elasticity OF our paper
is SO great, and credit easily OBJ
tanned, that it seems almost Impossible for wide
spread disaster to occur. The only danger to be
apprehended is, that large deposItors may prefer
to withdraw their funds from tue banks in antlci-
patton Of graver evils thus cripple these insttu-
tons, and force an appeal for aid to the general
government. Calm. concerted and judicious ac-
ton in this juncture may avert the misfortune
which threatens, and confine that which has taken
place within manageable bounds.
