proportion is gold.
The statement that the Turkish Government are
about to contract a loan of £2,000,000 through
Messrs. Lafitte and Co., of Paris, has been re-
ceived with some surprise, and the authenticity of

Fresh financial aid, it is said, is required ; but
other arrangements than those involved in a direct
Public loan were, it is understood, contemplated.
If this new loan is brought forward it should not
be on terms more advantageous than the transac-
tion of the early part of the year, conducted through
the en_ a—
g yof Messrs. Devaus and Co. and the Otto-
Men Bank.
