MONEY MARKET.

CITY NEWS-YESTERDAY.

There was quite a rush of applications for the
Peruvian Four-and-a-half per Cents. and the Vene-
zuelan Six per Cents. at Messrs. Heywoods, Ken-
nards, and Co. and Messrs. Baring Brothers. Al-
though in each establishment additional clerks were
engaged the labour was excessive, and it was not
got through till long after ordinary hours. The
applications for the new Venezuelan Loan of
£1,000,000 stock :reached about £7,000,000. The
scrip closed at 3 to 31 prem.
In the case of the Peruvian loan the subscriptions
reached a very large amount, some say nearly
£3,000,000, and it is quite certain that the list to
individuals who are Lot holders of existing stock—.
either Four-and-a-Half per Cents. or Three per
Cents.—will be immediately closed. The scrip
stood in the morning at 31 to 4 prem., and closed at
11 to 21 prem. Portuguese scrip left off at 31,- to /
prem., and the second issue of the Egyptian Loan at
81- to 91 prem.
There was a continued demand for the Egyptian
Loan, which. shows a fresh rise of 1 to 11 per cent.
About £300,000 of gold has been purchased for
exportation in the open market out of the recent
arrivals. According to rumour, it is for transmis-
sion to Lima on account of the Peruvian loan.
There were no bullion operations at the Bank to-

continues on a considerable scale. The arrival is
