Although full particular; of the new Venezuelan
*Loan have been allowed to transpire, the contract
'up to the present time has not been formally signed.
'The arrangements, however, have made consider-
able progress, and the prospectus may therefore be
anuounced at any moment. The favour with which
the new op,n.ation is regarded at the Stock Ex-
change may be inferred from the fact, that it is
already quoted at 3i to 4 prem. Numerous appli-
cations have already been sent in, and, judging
from present indications, there is reason to believe
that the total subscriptions will largely exceed the
required amJun t.

It As expect€ that the New Peruvian Loan will
be announced at an early deriod.
