!Turkish Six per Cents. closed Z per cent. lower
!than yesterday, at 9t/Z to 911. The scrip on the
; New Four per Cent. Guaranteed Loan has at length
been driven to a discount by a pressure of sales by
weak holders, who are distressed by the tightness of
the money market, and oy the heaviness and rapidity
of the accruing instalments. The first bargiins
recorded were at Z prem., and the closing quotation
! was 1 discount to par. As the weak holder., how-
-1 ever, are cleared off, the public will probably come
in as investors, and, with the progress of the instal-
ments, this guaranteed security, the soundness
of which is undoubted, will probably sesame
an improved position in the market. Sar-
dinian bud Peruvian bonds declined about 1 per cent.,
and Russian Four und•a-Half per Cents. were also
