the southern list was generally firm, the vir.

South Carolina being particularly firm. In the las,
mentioned quite an upward movement has taken
place on the announcement that the Legislature
has adjourned, thus ending the applications for
state aid from several railroads which were
pending during the session. A bill passed
to authorize sterling loan OF 21,2oooOO,
which Is 10 be strictly applied to the
rounding OF the present debt fast as it natures,
while, In order that the loan may go to Europe on
favorable terms, the same law enacts that no loan
shall be raised in the future without the sanction Of

makes the limitation Of the sterling loan contract,
and hence the law be repealed by any future
