for cash. For this purpose the 5 per cent. loan of
15 millions sterling in coupons of £l,OOO sterling
has been negotiated by the houses of Messrs. Roths-
child of Paris and London. The interest upon this
loan will be paid at Paris, London, Frankfort, and
Amsterdam. Notice for the conversion of the in-
terest of the loan cannot be effected before the ex-
piration of 20 years. The amount coming in will
be placed at the disposal of the State Bank. The
notes withdrawn from circulation are to be imme-
diately burnt. Even at present the State Bank is
only empowered to issue notes in return for
cash for the purpose of exchanging old for new
notes. As soon as the contracting of the loan shall
be secured, the Minister of Finance will submit to
the Emperor propositions for the gradual exchange
of notes for gold."
