The allotment letters of the new Turkish Loan
were all sent out in time for the first post yesterday
morning, and were accordingly, for the moat part,
delivered at an early hour, the agents having ept
their staff at work nearly all night, to prevent
delay. The second payment of 15 per cent. falls
due to-morrow, and the scrip will be deliverable
on the 30th inst. As usual on these occasions,
there are a number of complaints from disappointed
&Bottoms ; but it is evident that this result is
unavoidable, when the pressure of subscribers so
greatly exceeds the amount to be divided, and,
we may add, as long as the present censurable
practice continues of making application far in
excess of the means of the subscriber. The mem-
bers of the Stock Exchange alone applied for five
and a half millions, independently of lids for their
clients. It is well understood that the majority of
such applications are for immediate sale, and not
for investment ; but, on the principle of favouring
this body in these awes, an award hes been made
to them of 800,0001. stook, which has been divided
with the express object of paying due regard to the
standing and credit of the applicants. Inasmuch
as the gentlemen of the Stock Exchange, whether
brokers or dealers, derive additional profit from
the transactions of the public in this as in any other
stock, it would appear that they have, on the
whole, great cause to be satisfied. Lord Hobart
left iuuden yesterday to fulfil his mission in con-
nexion with the loan.
