, The discussion on the budget in the French Cham-
bers having terminated, the new loan is expected to
be introduced before the close of the month. The
current of opinion is that the loan will be for the
ainount originally anuounced—Xl7,4oo,ooo. Opinion
semis to have settled down that a 4i per cent. stock
is preferable, in the interests of the State, to thirty
lears' obligations, and a 3 per cent. stock to either,
and
the bulk of the public debt is in that stock,
IV it is secured against conversion. It is suggested
hat 69f. 50c. will be the price, as 70f. is a peace
Trice, the same as 68f. is a war price.
