It is mentioned in some of the Continental papers that
the negotiations recently opened between the Turkish
Government and the house of eminent Hebrew capita-
lists for a loan of 5,000,0001. could not be satisfactorily
arranged. Au offer, it is alleged, was made for a 5 per
cent. security at 90, with 3 per cent. commission ; but
the Porte, it is stated, refused to entertain the terms.
Any tendency to speculative animation in this country
would, there is reason to expect, lead to proposals for a
fresh operat'on of magnitude.
