The contractors of the Egyptian loan have sub-
mit ted the full particulars of the contract to the
corn mittee of the Stock Exchange, in order to show
that there is no truth whatever in the adverse re-
ports recently circulated. After taking the affair
into careful consideration, the committee have
published the following resolution, which they
unanimously passed at their meeting yesterday :
"The attention of the committee having been drawn
to an ambiguity in the wording of the prospectus
of the Egyptian loan, Mr. Goschen, the agent for
The contractors, and Mr. Freshfield, their solicitor,
attended to give all necessary explanations; and it
is the opinion of this committee that the explana-
tions so given by these gentlemen were perfectly
satisfactory."

During the last few days there has been rather
more animation in the Foreign and Colonial Pro-
duce Markets. Sugars have slightly advanced, but

'without material change in values ; but tallow has
continued dull, and prices are depressed for both
present and for ward delivery.

The market for American Securities during the

been steady, but without much activity.
