SPANISH FINANCES.

At a time when Foreign Loans absorb so large
a portion of English capital, we cannot render a more desirable
service to a large class of our Readers than to lay before them
a clear and faithful report of the financial statement of the
countries which are most prominent in demands of this nature.
A new Loan for Spain is well known to be ix agitation at the
present moment, and therefore we feel particularly called upon
just now to examine the foundations on which the Public CreL
dit of that country rests, in order to ascertain what probability
there is that any investments may be made on such security
with the prospect of recovery at any future period. In doing
this we shall rest solely on Official Accounts recently published
by the Spanish Government, adding only such remarks as we
may think necessary in the way of elucidation.
