Messrs. liarings Brothers and Company have this
morning announced the issue of an Argentine 6 per
Cent. Loan of £1,950,000 Stock, at the price of 725
per cent. This forms the unsubscribed portion of
the £2,500,000 loan which was authorized in 1865,
Dnd introduced in the following year. The loan is to
be liquidated by the operation of a sinking fund of
25 per cent., commencing on the Ist of July, 1869.
The Bonds issued in 1866 only carried a sinking fund
of 1 per cent.' and 111es,rs. Barings are instructed to
change them for ollara bearing the increased rate of
25 per cent. sinking fund. The instalments extend
to March, 1869.
The leading features in the stock markets are the
inactivity of the funds, and apparently a greater dis-
position to purchase foreign bonds and shares, with
one or two exceptions, and a preference for selected
Lome railway securities. The leading foreign stocks
are sper cent. better. Danubian, upon the fresh
cri,is at Bucharest, are 1 per cent. lower. Great
