NEW YORK April 20.-Tne Evening Post 8 London financial cablegram says: The feature in the stock markets here to-day was the flat in foreign stocks, the Paris Bourse being utterly demoralized by the continued fall in Spanish As, which closed at the lowest. 34. The weakness In consols caused the notion of a rise of Bank of England rate tomorrow, and in this belief discount houses drained to work and all such business was done at the bank itself, which had the effect of making loan rates easier.
 Americans were almost unstable. but there was no great pressure to sell, and bear posi- tion, at least in St. Paul and Louisville, undoubtedly exists. The manner in which New York absorbs the stocks is much marveled at. reefed and prepared for war, but the Paris Bourse will feel the blow severely. AS in- stancng how the market here is looking ahead, 1t Is common talk that war means the final defeat of the silver party in the United States.
 Argentines were fiat. Uneasiness felt by over telegram received by some large banks and firms associated with Argen- tina from General Roquoa, urging the impor- tance of their joining in subscriptions to the internal loan which was announced in these dispatches on Monday last The telegram ad- vocating this loan says that 1t Is required for | urgent Indispensable expenses, and which will form the best guarantee of peace.'' The Paris Bourse Is bordering panic, and heavy realizations on tintos and every thing salable.
