slight improvement in prices was

the market badly during the latter part Of

this added to the depression in general

the market weakened, and prices receded
on all leading descriptions and closed

NEW YORK PRESN
Opinions on the Arrest orCharIes stuart
PaFnell.

Ngw NORH, October l4.-Concerning
ParneIl's arrest the Herald says; 1t is to
be regretted that Gladstone should have
felt the necessity of arresting member Of
Parliament, and thus to excite sympathy
ior a movement which has degenerated to
war upon property and an expedient to
raise money.
The Tribune says: The imprisonment OF
so popular an agitatOr under such circum-
stances may be fraught with mOmentous
consequences. Gladstone has taken an
enormous risk in making this arrest. Par.
nell is far more powerful than OCOnnell
ut his best, and the arrest looks like dcs-
perate choice between abandoning the
Land Act outright and coniessing to absO-
lutte failure OF the Crown in managing
Irish affairs and arresting the great OBJ.
struCtiOniSt, to success in iair trial Of Il
doubtful policy,
The World says: The arrest can surprise
no one but Purnell himself ParuCll and
friends permitted Davtt and other patriots
to be east into British dungeons without an
attempt to libemte them, and he should
not expect lrishmen to spend their blood
or treasures to liberate him.
The Sun says: The arrest OF Parnel and
consignment to jail Is an act which right
minded men on both sides Of the Atlantic
cannot fail to strongly condemn. II can
do him no harm, will not check bun inten.
sify the operations OF the Land League,
and must he considered dcplorablc blum.
der, There il no show OF foundation for
either charge in the warrant. lie had
proved himself equal to the Ministers in
political strategy; had held his conntrymcn
back from violence, and had COunselcd u
fair trial Of the land act. The arrest fur
nishes the most impressive test Of Parnclps
influence and seJlCity, and the Ministry
derive no credit by slencing their chief pO-
litical opponent by the argument Of the
Jail,
The Times says: The cause Of the British
Government in making the arrest is not
adequately expressed. His conduct was
not scditious, and impartial men must re-
gard the arrest rs an extraordinary pro-
cccding Evidently the British Govern.
mcnt is in condition bordering on Il
panic, PNrncll did not incite seditiun, did
not advise resistance to law, and was ar

say ut Kildare. Ireland might us well be

rests in that country are TO be made in
such arbitrary manner. The Government,
in trcmor Of apprehension, arrests
