Evidence Of the favorable impression created by
the new governmental measures and the speech Of
the Sultan continues to pour in upon us from all
quarters Not only has public opinion here received
them most favorably but we have the most conclu-
sive evidence of the sympathy which they have
excited in Europe. The most striking evidence Of
the new born confidence in the future of the Turkish
empire is now being evnced in the daily rise of the
five per cent cOnsos, which are still continuing to
advance and are now selling at a., with the
prospect OF still further advance as many persons

being the fancied instability of the Turkish govern
ment which prevailed in many quarters so long as
there was danger of war, most persons here pre-
ferred the Turkish funds to risking their capital in
any commercial venture, even to leaning it upon
real estate security When the interest the consols
