from the Bank of England yesterday for despatch
to Constantinople, on account of the New Turkish
Loan. The total as yet remitted on this account is
about 2,900,0001. It is believed that the fatale

heavily on the money market, and that the amount
stall to be sent in specie will probably scarcely ex-
ceed half a million sterling.

There y. was a recovery of 11. to 21. yesterday in Lon-
don and County Bank shares, it being fully recog-
nised that the recent adverse legal decision does
not affect in the least the intrinsic prosperity of the
bank. It is a question, indeed, whether the esta-
blishment would not really gain by terminating at
once this protracted litigation, and by refraining
from any attempt to reverse the recent judgment at
Vice-Chancellor Wood.
With reference to the market for American se-
curities, Mr. K F. t3atterthwaite reports as follows:
