FOREIGN SECURITIES.

COMPULSORY SALE OR LOAN. (The Times.) Received January 27, 10 a.m. LONDON, January 26. An Order-in-Council makes compulsory the hitherto voluntary sale or loan of foreign securities, required to regulate exchange. The Treasfiry is announcing shortly the list of securities immediately required. LATER PARTICULARS. LONDON, January 26. The requisitions of foreign securities may be entire at market price or temporary. The Treasury in the latter case pays interest, plus one-half per cent. It is understood the voluntary response to previous Treasury requests were inadequate, and further measures were necessary in the interests of exchanges.
