AMERICAN BONDS.

The Times says that the most import
ant business In the Foreign Stock Market
Thursday was the selling Of United States
bonds by the public. II is not SO much
that the selling has been Of large amount
as 1t has been that the selling was by
actual holders and upon market where
there are lew buyers except upon Amer
lean account. There is danger, therefore,
lest alarm may be generated by the fall
thus caused, aud the bonds may get press-
ed on the dealers faster than they care to
have them. Holders almost always be-
come more disposed to sell as prices go
down, and very little pressure would
cause sharp fall. There is no cause for
alarm, and any rush to sell is much to be
depr ecated.

ENGLAND.

LONDON, February 22.-In his state.
ment in the House OF Lords, last evening,
Lord Derby said he was not aware that
any Communication had passed between
the Powers about the members Of the
Conference. As for England, great in.
convenience would result from the ab.
sence Of her Foreign Minister from the
Cabinet and Parliament for the several
weeks which the Conference will proba-
bly, ait. Therefore, said Lord Derby, we
will not depart from the ordinary course
OF sending the Ambassador with full
powers, and ] believe the majority Of The
Powers will adopt the same course.
The Times, commenting on the stale.
inents 10 the Parliament last evening,
says: Immediate anxiety is alleged
that two dangers remain. One that the
Turks may even yet be encouraged TO re.
sistance by the vote Of credit and recent
movements Of the English ships, and the
other that the approximation OF the war
like forces OF England and Russia may
lead to IN accidental collision.
The workmen's peace demonstration
announced for Hyde Park Sunday next,
will be persisted in. Five hundred vol.
untary constables will be sworn in TO pro.
tect the platform. An anti.Russian
counter demonstration will be organized
unless the weather should be unfavorable,
thus preventing the expected large turn
out. The affair ia likely to be very up.

Hal! was abandoned. Gladstone did not
