—Bons attention has been excited by the announce-
ment that proposals for a Ave per Cent. Russian loan
of fifty millions of roubles, or nearly 8,000,0001. ster-
ling, have been issued upon the markets of Berlin,
Hamburg, and Amsterdam; Ostensibly, a third of
the lanais to be planed in each of them cities, at an
prise of 82 per coat. This is, if we mistake
issuing
third attempt that has been made by Russia
to raise a loan upon the Continent sines the begin-
ning of the war. Her two former proposals failed,
and the success of the present application is exceed-
ingly problematical. The insertion that the loan bee
been contracted for is, it is presumed, perfectly un-
founded. The arrangement entered into is supposed
to imply merely an engagement on the part of certain
firma to act as agents for the Russian government in
offering to the public; the new stock now proposed to
be created. The Russian government, of course,
will pay a commission upon such sums as
shall be raised. Subscribers to this stock, however,
will lie under several serious disadvantages, inasmuch
as England and Franco will have a perfect right to
demand of the governments in whose states the loan
is announced a prohibition of all recognised dealings
in It on the bourse. It may be inferred, too, from the
manner in which a similar attempt was made by
Russia' in northern Germany some months ago, that
the government will be glad to dispose of parcels of
the new stook at prime far below those ostensibly
fixed. This knowledge can only tend to disparage
the whole negotiation, and to discourage applicants,
seek of whom will fear that he may be undersold In
the market by the next subscriber. A fall bee at
ones taken plus in Russian securities upon all the
continental markets, amounting to 2 per cent. at
Hamburg, t per cent. at Berlin, and j per neat. at
Ameterdarn.

TIMIDAT Zyiornto.

The English fends have not recovered from yester-
day's fall. The market opened at a further decline
of 1 per cent., but had returned at the close to the
final range of yesterday, being strengthened by
to-day's rally at Paris. On the whole, however, the
tone was dull, any tendency towards recovery being
checked by a growing disbelief in the probability of
pesos, and by the knowledge that there is a large
outstanding speculation for higher priest.
