And in 1881 the prices of the Oppenheim loan ranged from 105 to 116.  From these eloquent figures it will be seen that whilst Russia has been stationary, and Turkey has fallen 75 per cent, the condition and security of Roumania has risen, roughly speaking, 25 per cent, in the eslimation of the financial world during the last ten years.  The two years marked with an asterisk were years of war.]
