In the Newtonian approximation, the gravitational instability of a two- or N-component medium in an expanding universe is considered. The system of density-perturbation equations is solved in the short- and long-wave limits. For small values of the wave vector k, a result obtained for the stationary case continues to hold true: at most there can exist only one unstable mode. If k is kept fixed, the introduction of a perturbation component deltai will speed the growth of fluctuations deltaj, provided the adiabatic indices gammai is greater than gammaj. In the large-k limit, ordinary acoustic waves result. Other components will begin to manifest themselves in the first-order terms when the oscillation amplitude is expanded in power of k to the -1st: provided gammaj is greater than gammai which is greater than or equal to 4/3, the ith-component amplitude will decay more slowly than otherwise.
