Considerable discussion is beginning to arise as
regards the probable amount and form of the
next government loan. It is presumed that, what-
ever may be the remit of the Paris conferences, a
loan will be required prior to the payment of the
April dividends. From Mr. Wilson's remarks in the
House of Commons the other night, however, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer appears to be in no ire-
mediate want of money. The recent heavy sales of
savings bank stock have assisted in meeting the
pressure upon the Treasury.
The failure of another " jobber " has been an-
nounced in the Stock Exchange, in connexion with
the settlement in Consols. The heavy fluctuations
mused in the stock and share markets by the recent
change in the septet of polities have thus resulted in
the failure of five members of the house. In no in-
stance, however, is soy important amount involved.
Considering the suddenness and violence of the fluc-
tuations, it is greatly to the credit of the Stock Ex-
change that the cases of embarrassment have not
been more numerous. _ .

The agitation relative to the management of the
Eastern Counties Railway continues. On Wednesday •
number of shareholders met at the London
T , and agreed to support the election, at the
half-yearly meeting, on the 29th instant, of Messrs.
Waddington, James Backe, and James Goodson. On
the other hand, a committee has been formed adverse
to then-election of Mr. Waddington, and invites a
meeting of shareholders foe Monday next, the 11th.
The directors of the London and North Western
Railway notify that at the half-yesrly meeting on the
22nd inst. " the report of the Committee of Consul-
tation appointed at the last half-yearly meeting will
be submitted to the shireholders, and resolutions will
be proposed in furtherance of the recommendations
therein contained." The proprietors will also be
asked to sanction an agreement with the Stockport,
Disley, and Whaley Bridge Railway Company, in
which it is proposed that the London and North
Western Railway Company shall become share-
holders to the extent of 86,0001.
The suspension is announced of Messrs. Chambers
and Ellwood in the wine trade, with liabilities for
about 20,0001. The firm were very respectable, and
their losses are understood to have been caused by
serious defalcations on the part of persons in their
employ, coupled with some heavy bad debts. Their
assets, it is said, will yield at least 10s. to 12s. in the
pound, and it is hoped that arrangements will be
made for the business to be carried on without iater-
ruption.
At a meeting of holders of Buenos Ayres bonds yes-
terday a resolution was pared urging the claims of
the bondholders on the government of that country. If
this appeal to them should be ineffectual, a memorial
is to be prepared praying fee the interference of the
British government. A vote of thanks was passed
to Lord Clarendon and also to the committee for their
report and exertions.
A call of 21.105. (making 61.10.. paid) is to be
paid on the shares of the Rhymney Railway Cam-
pan by the 29th inst.
Me deed of settlement of the London and Parr
Joint Stook Bank is to be ready for signature on the
11th inst., when provisional certificates will be deli-
veredin exchaop for the bankers' receipts.
The East India Company will receive tenders on
the 13th inst. foe the conveyance of stores from Eng-
land to Calcutta.
