bonds of both issues of the Egyptian Government
Loan, which were drawn on the Ist inst., and will
be paid off at par on the let March.
The fall in Turkish Consolidds on Saturday was
occasioned by some extensive sales, prompted by
the advioes from Constantinople. The substance
d the news is contained in the following extract
of a private letter, dated the 24th December :
"The government has just contracted a loan of
500,0001. sterling, at 10 per cent, per annum, and a
commission of 2 per cent, for six months, against a
deposit of Consolidds of the fourth issue, which
the lenders will have the right of selling at
the end of nine months if the loan
is not repaid in the interval." The pre-
sent poverty of the Turkish exchequer is partly
connected with the well-known tact that the
proceeds of the last English loan were strictly
`appropriated, in accordance with the agreement, to
the redemption of the cainie, or paper money, the
government getting nothing oat of the loan towards
relief of its immediate necessities. Its general
financial position is improving, but it is waiting, as
usual, for the incoming revenue, and meanwhile
is obliged to have recourse again to its old prac-
tice of raising short local loans at high rates of
interest and commission. Of the various kinds of
Turkish securities, the Consolidds are chiefly pre-
judiced in price by this transaction, because
they are held in this country on specu-
lation. As we have before pointed out, the irregu-
larity of the payment of the dividends on this
paper, and its close connexion with the local in-
volvements of the Porte, must always render it a
very fluctuating security, and therefore unsuited to
bona fide investors.
' The advioee from Melbourne report the shipment
for England during the month of 485,0001. in gold.

News is received that the Hawthorns steamer
from Cagliari has arrived at Maretimo (12 miles
from Sicily), having laid the electric submarine
cable successfully to that point. She is ordered to
Malta to ship additional cable required to complete

course by currents.
We have received a copy of the annual volume,

There has been a better demand for San Paulo
Railway shares. Great hopes are entertained of
the traffic of this line, and it is evident that the
railway will be completed in lees time than was
originally contemplated. Even at the current
premium, the paid-up shares of this company cost
to an investor only 1174 per cent., which is not
considered a high price for a 7 percent. stock. I
There was a good demand for bank shares, and
an advance took place in Bank of Australasia,
Bank of London, Bank of Queensland, Bank of
British Columbia, Lorrlon and Buenos Ayres,
Colonial, London and South African, London and

cellaneous shares the only alteration was a slight
improvement in Italian Irrigation and Peninsulas
and Oriental Steens.
