Tie Loadon Times, in its editorial on monetary af
fans, expresses much alarm at the prospect of the
diain of none which the Ruseian railway concessions
will certainly produce Nearly GiO0O0,0OO sterling
will be required; and even if this amount should be
exteLdoc ten YEAR, would prove serious drain
on tie English supplies. The Emperor Of France IS
said 10 have forbidden the Credit MOblier 70 take
Il Gps in the concessions.
III, full )H iIC are the remarks alluded TO;
Pull statement. from ST. Petersburg respecting tue
Russian railway concessions just announced looked
for viii considerable anxiety. The hope Is that the
tem may I've found inadequaieto float the shares in
msIkei, and that it III be necessary the one hand
greatly to diminish the gum demanded, and, Oh the
Oiler to incense the guarantee II may be presumed
that the total Of nearly f40.C00,000 sterng is con-
tUnplaed TO he spread over several long Intervals
but even if these should extend TO ten years the drain
would ate chronic pressure sufficient TO pr ,duce
many disagrecabie consequences. Supposlng only ,
per cent caution money to be exacted on the whole
tmoIt ab. ut E2OC0,C COO would at once be drawn
away TO lie in the citadel Of ST. Petersburg and form
the nucleus of new collection Of bullion to repair
tie exhaustion Of the previous stock accustomed by
the war. That such q condition even o. this can
have been acceded TO at the present moment
would appear scarcely probable but after wha. they
have WITNESSED, and the notification only few days
back that the Credit Mobiier in the midst Of all the
mischief has caused has just contracted to construct
q new Spanish railway, the public would not be sur.
prised at any results to which the competition Of eager
sltculators might lead. Hence, although it may turn
out that the engagements entered into have been Of
much more guarded character than would appear from
the bare announcement Of the concession without tie
Qualifications by which il may be accompanied il is
right tbs the vigilance Of the public should meanwhile
be awak ened
il sppears that the investment will certainly pay
per cent then Russian per cent bonds are now at
