According to some of the continental advice.,
the Italian government is oontemplating a loan of

mated deficit of the year.
Letters from Athens, published in continental
journals, describe the government of Greece as in
great straits for want of money. The 2} millions
of drachmas reserved from the loan from the Na-
tional Bank, in addition to a further loan of
another million, had been quickly exhausted.
Recourse was then had to the lonian Rank, which
refused to advance any sum beyond 500,000
drachmas. Not knowing which way to turn for
cash in face of an exhausted treasury, the govern-
ment is stated to have appropriated the funds
deposited by the previous ministry in the National
Bank for the establishment of interior roads, as
well as the sums subscribed for the creation of a
national fleet.

rities on the London Stock Exchange during the past
