The present position of the Anglo-Peruvisa
Four-and-a-Half per Cent, debt, as affected by the
sinking fund now about to be applied, is stated am
follows in the Money Market Review :

The stock known ae the Four•iind-a-11•11 per (Gent. Anglo-
Peruvian Bonds, bears interest payable in March and Sep-
tember, secured upon half the proceeds of the guano colt
in the United Kingdom. This stock has a sinking fund et
8 per cent. per annum on the original capital, and this
accumulative. The original amount of this debt wee
2,800,000/., but under the action of the sinking fund it boa
been reduced to 1,166,00 W. ; the sinking fund of 8 per oes*.
(208,0001.) with the accumulations, now amounts to
N 0,0001., which is equivalent to no less than 25 per cent. ea
the amount of the debt now outstanding, and will antis-

(100), including 6J months' interest, which gives • net ie.
come of 4i pee cent. on the money invested, together vital
• boons of 24 per cent. in four years.

Telegraph :

ft appears that it is not the intention of government Is
take any steps in reference to the Red Sea cable until soma
decision his been arrived at by the Treasury as to the gnu.
rantee which they at present pay to the company. The re-
port of Sir Charles Bright, mentioned in a previous issue.
cannot, therefore, for the prceent be acted on.
With reference to the market for Areerioaa
securities Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite reports as fol-
lows:

The market in London for American *emu itiee has been
dull during the p. 4 week. State Stock and Railroad Sonar
