Sta,—As there still seems to be Nome uncertainty
about the actual price at which the last loan has been taken,
and all depends on the interest at which the terminable
annuity is calculated, I think it may not be without use to
supply the present value of the 30 years annuity at rates
varying from 31 to 4 p r cent., and including 31 per cent.,
that being the met rate which Consols yield at the present
price of 89. The calculation may be relied on for comet-
new :

In this calculation no allowance is made for the discount
on the instalments, twitch at 2 per cent. (the highest rate at
pretest commanded by money in the Stock Exchange) is
equal to 12s. per cent.—l am, &a. M. WARBURG.
N.B.—Tbe above calculation is made on the assumption
that the interest on the anuutties is payable half yearly.
