The North Carolina, Wilmington and
Manchester railroad company have
placed a novel sort of loan upon She
London market The novelty of the
proposition consists in the fact that the
company Offers to take a certain portion
of the loan in Confederate cotton bonds,
at twenty-five cents on, the dollar. As
these bonds are nearly all held in Eng
land, where they have been quoted as low
as four to five per cent, it is not sur
prising that the agents of the loan have
already received hundreds of letters
asking for particular information, and
the Confederate cotton bondholders will
seek an investment for their
bonds in this quarter.
