London. March 2I-Consols opened this
morning at 80 7-16. This is the lowest price
since the Franco-German War.
The drop in British consols to-day estab-
fishes new low record, making the price
the lowest in thirty-three years. The low
price of the Boer War period, which was
81, in 1901. has been passed some time since.
The decline is generally ascribed to the fact
that the British Government will in short
time issue new Transvaal loan Of f35 0OO,-
0O0 This loan will probably bear per cent
interest, while the present consols pay only
2% per cent, and at the next dividend period
this rate will be reduced to ~ per cent.
This will occur on April 5.
The increase in the amount of securities
offered, the reduction In the rate Of interest
on consols, and the desirability of 3 per
cent investment. inducing many to sell con-
soils that they might secure part Of the new
loan, have brought about the break In price,
Then there is q forthcoming loan Of the
London City Council Of f1s.00o.00O, and this
has not been without effect. In view CT the
price Of consols to-day, the following table
