CONFEDERATE LoAS.--A dispatch da.
ted lIalifal April Sd, gives the following
Northern view Of our recent cotton loan :
The Confederate loan would close q: l
o'clock p. m, on the 2lst, the bids hsv-
ing greatly exceeded the amount needed,
particularly in London. Report says the
applications ia Liverpool was not very
heavy, and there was considerable differ,
ence of opinion there IS to the merits Of
tie scheme.
Paris kilograms say that the loan was
quito the rage there.
The Times city article says but very
little political feeling was manifested q,
the business. aud il seems evident, that
80 far as London is concerned, il Is viewed
cotton speculation. The attractions
il p ssesses are to be found 10 other re-
spects There can be no doubt that a
majority Of the mel chants and capitalist.
would have wished that it had been intro
duced. AS the affair will not be officially
announced on Change. the dealers agreed
among thcmseve. to FIX the cath day Of
April as the settling day.
The London Star Cannot believe bona
filc investors will be found to take the
loan, even at par, without better security
than that offered 10 the hypothecation Of
cotton, which It may never be in the pow :
er Of Jeff Davis & o. to deliver.
The Daily news editoriIy denounces the
loan Those who subscribe to the loan
are aiding and abetting the reballion, aud
the slave power 10 direct and most en-
pharic manner. And all who have an
enlightened regard for the true reputation
Of England will regard this open assis-
lance /" trafickers 10 human fcsh as .
disgrace tn the Exchange.
There was rather less excitement in re.
-rrd to The loan on Friday, the goth, aLd
after, and touching at std. aud closed
that day at l@4id. premium. The bid,
reached tel million pounds sterling, and
we're expected to be from fifteen to eiSh-
teen nilliou at the close.
