Taut CANADA CONTRACT.-011 Friday morning, atthe
Treasury, the undisposed portion of the pending Canada
contract was taken by Messrs. Hammond, Scott, and
Co., at 1114, the minimum price of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer. To them, therefore, nearly the whole sum
of £200,000 has been assigned, and it is understood the
principals in the transaction are the mutual Indemnity In-
surance Company. The only other bidding was that of
Mr. Maubeat, who offered Da for the whole amount,
and would have given the reserved price for the £BO,OOO,
had Messrs. Hammond and Co. declined the option
given them. This shows a singular coincidence in the
estimate cf the value of the security by the leading men
in the money market and the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
The effect of the new banking law shut out several banks
from competition, and even the Bank of England abstained
from making a tender on the occasion. Protective terms
against pcssible default have, it is assumed, been agreed
to between the Canadian and home Governments ; and if
the money be ultimately p,id by the colony, this country
will be a large gainer by the transaction. The contract
1 has to run for twenty years.
