The Neaos remarks. in regard to this loan:
" Some attention has been excited oy the announce
Of 60 Of roajies Or nearly 5000 600 Sterling
have been issued upon the markets of Berlin, Ham.

is to be placed in each of these les, at an issuing
price OF so per cent. This is if we mistake no, the
third attempt that has been made by Russii 10 raise
a loan upon the Continent since the beginning of
the war. Bee two former proposals failed, aad
the of the present Application is exceedingly
problematica The assertion that the loan hiss been
led for is, II s presumed, perfectly unfoundet.
The arrangement entered i,to ia supposed to
imply merely engagement on the part of certain
frms to act as agents for the Russian Government
in offering to the public the new stock proposed
to be created. IRE Russian Government, Of course,

it on the BouIse. 1t may be inferred too from the
manner in which a similar attempt was made by Rus
sis In Northern Germany some months ago, that the
Government will be glad TO dispose Of parcels Of the
new stock at prices far beo those osensbly Fixed.
This knowledge can only tend to oisparage the whole
negotiation, and 10 discourage applicants, each OF
whom will fear that he may be undersold in the
