| The New LoANs-The announcement of still
more foreign loans in the journals dses not es-
cape the attention of economical men in the CT
| ty. Russian four per cent. loan has been con-
! tracted with Messrs. Hope s Co. of Amsterdam.
/ The amount is uncertain. -Four millions ster-
ling is the sum stated Besides this, we hear OF
an Austrian loan for the large sum of ten mil
lions sterling being on the point of negotiation.
Something more definite may probably transpire
with respect to these important financial matters
| in the course of few days. No new Austrian
loan will, we presume, from what occurred in
the case of the former one, meet with much favor
| in this country. Of the twenty millions borrow
ed under the auspices of the British Government,
only tive millions were, after long struggle,

the English public, in the shape Of second lean.
The domestic bankruptcies of Austria have been
of the most desolating character.

the credit of the drawers is in some instances a
affected 1t is not easy to say with any certain

tbe idea seemed to be that the currency of the

Ofthe loan to Austria, the sum Of "a, 900 600,

MANCHESTER, FRIDAY EVENING, Dec. IL
Since the arrival of the very favorable news from
the east and from China, which was on the ev-
ening of Tuesday, when the business of the day
had closed, very large and increased business
has been done in cloth and yarns. The manu-
| facturers succeeded in establishing an advance
of 3D. per piece on shirtings, and I'D on calicoes
equal to about % per cent. Many houses now
refuse to sell unless at further advance, con-
fdent are they that all instructions to commerce,
bv the cessation of hostilites, will soon disap-
pear. In yarns a very large business also has
been done since Tuesday and, for such as are
suitable for the East and China, q little advance
has been paid.
