Money was to-day in very active demand N LON

demand is stimulated by the preparations which are
already made for the loan.
The Paris Bourse to-day was depressed, in sympa-
thy with Consols, but the decline was by no means so
heavy as that established here. The money prlce OF
the Three per Gents closed to-day csc. lower than yes
terday at 725o; and the account Price Csc lower, at

From The Time. Of Feb Is
The notice from the Chancellor OF the Exehequer
announcing the intention Of the Government u raise
a loan as well as to fund a portion of the floating
debt and inviting the attendance of capitalists at the
Treasury next Monday, when the terms will be com
muncated, received at the Stock Exchange this
morning at about ii O'clock and took every one by
surprise The funding of Exchequer bills had been
fully anticidated but the raising of loan although
considered certain in the course Of the Spring,
wholly unexpected at the present moment. Con-
sols which left off yesterday with much
Leaviness at 90. had opened at So to
and Immediately the appearance of the no.
tee they declined to 81. Large sales then
actively pressed and the downward movement contin
ued until the price touched co. from which there
scarcely any recovery the final transactions being at
90 TO / for money and 9ol to for the account. The
greatest eagerness manifested throughout the day
to learn tie amount intended TO be asked for, aud
variety Of eorectures circulated on the subject
Some Strsons eldeavored to create belief that the
loan win be for $40 900 900, beside funding of 60
600 oOO of Exhequer bills; but an impression subse-
quenty gained ground that the total will be altogether
expedient before the commencement Of the Peace
Conference to provide for all immediate wants so a.
To complete the strength of their position, they enter
tain sufficient confidence TO defer any further arrange
ments until a later period.
The bddings for the new loan, if the precedent
adopted on the last occasion be allowed, viii take
place on Friday next. The terms in that instance
wee made known on Monday, the 10th of April, and
the contract was concluded on the Goth. The price of
Copsos on the day Of the contract was exactly the
same as that at which they have closed this evening
In the foreign exchanges this afternoon there was no
material alteration, but the rates generally showed
tendency to Improvement.
The corn market rather more firm this morn
ing and in some instances advance of II was OBJ
tanned.
The quotations of the French Three per Gents on
the Paris Bourse this afternoon 72f. SOC. for
money and 73f. 45c for the account, showing reac-
tion Of three quarters per cent in sympathy with the
fall on this side.
