The Wairarapa Daily. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1883. THE NEW ZEALAND LOAN.

This week the first installment of our new loan is to be offcred.inthe London market, and there is room for a little anxiety as to its fate. Money has of late been drained out of this colony in a novel and uncomfortable manner. Por the'first time interest on past loans has had to be sent to London out of our revenno account instead of being met out of loan funds. We have to send about a million and a half per annum in hard cash to pay our London creditors, This drain is severely 'felt at .the present juncture, and unless it is relieved by the Government being in a position to draw on the new loan the present unsatisfactory, condition of the money market mil be intensified, The .Government are assured that the loan will be placed, and SirDuioN Bbi-,l is quite satisfied of its success; Still we do not like the look of |]ie San Francisco telegrams published in our last issue, The numerous and extensive failures there recorded indicate monetary disturbance in the Home market, Thereis no reason as yet to believe that thoy have assumed any ■ very serious shape but it is out of failures like these that panics are bred, We shall be considerably relieved to find that the loan is safely placed, as any hitch in disposing of it would now be a serious matter in the present financial position of the colony. Yesterday, or two days prior to the floating of the New Zealand loan, the Victorian Government loan of £4,000,000 was to be offered, and the fate of the former will to a considerable extent depend on the latter. In a few hours all suspense on the subject will be at an end, The money market of Australasia will be appreciably relieved- ; or the present pressure will be augmented. Since writing the above we have received a cablegram published in another column of the non-success of the Victorian lop.
