CITY, Two o'CLocK.
About £72,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of
England yesterday.
The Directors of the East Indian Railway Com-
Pally invite subscriptions for £1,500,000 5 per
Cent. Debentures, redeemable in 5 years, with the
option of renewal for a similar period. The instal-
bents to be 25 per cent. on allotment, and 25 per
sent, in each succeeding month.
The prospectus of the New 6 per Cent. Turkish
Loan undertaken by M. Mires, of Paris, was
issued yesterday afternoon, and the amount which
It if', proposed to raise, instead of being £18,000,000
as previously reported, is stated at £5,000,000, hut
141 ii, it is supposed may be regarded as a preliminary
operation. Obligations of £2O each are to be issued
at the price of £l2 10s., which is, equivalent
to 621 per cent., but, allowing for the immediate
acinimulation of interest, discount for the comple-
tion of instalments at once, &c., the quotation is
reduced to about 591 per cent. These concessions,
although attractive at first sight, reflect very
Unfavourably on Turkish credit, since the previous
6 per cent. Loans were placed at the compara-
tively high rate of 85 per cent. Another objec-
tion to this new candidate for public favour is the
depreciated value of the second 6 per cent, stock,
Which can be purchased at 571 to 58i. It is
arranged that the Loan shall be redeemed at par in
36 years, and special revenues farmed last year
for £1,282,560 are to be assigned for the payment
of interest and the gradual liquidation of the
debt. The scheme has met with a very cold
reception at the Stock Exchange, and it is
considered very doubtful whether M. Mires
Will be successful in obtaining any great support
from English capitalists.
The Bank of England directors, at their meeting
today, did not find it necessary to modify their
discount regulations.
The Atrato has arrived from the West Indies,
With £295,195 in specie.

A fair amount of business was recorded in the
Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, and prices
were steadily maintained. The sales were 10,000
bales.

Continued dulness is apparent to-day in the
English Stock Market, which opened firmly, not-
withstanding the Turkish Loan, and the Uncertainty
felt with regard to Chinese affairs. Consols con-
tinue steady 92t s, ex div., for the account. The
diminished shipments of gold to the United States
and the expectation that the Turkish ,Loan will
On. float probably give some support to values.
