It is understood in financial circles likely to be
well informed on the point that the coat of the
war in the River Plato to Brazil, as given in the
telegraphic reports which appear, are greatly
exaggerated. The highest monthly expenditure
of the imperial treasury for account of the war
has not, it is stated, exceeded 500,0001. ; and it is
now not more than two-thirds of that amount.
Private letters from Rio de Janeiro state that the
Bank of Brazil had applied for 20,000 contos of the
new gold loan, and that, though speculative ap-
plications to a considerable extent had been made,
bent fide applications for the full amount of the
loan had been received. " The great feature of
this loan," says one writer, " is that it completely
disproves the imputation that the government had
any intention or disposition to alter the gold stan-
dard. There axe people here still holding sove-
reigns bought at 10. They have burnt their fingers
prety well, and richly deserve it." The writer
adds that the new cabinet is increasing in strength.
Accounts from Vicuna state that, in oonsegFence
