1903), are of the following denominational values:-
50 Bonds for £l,OOO each £50,000
300 17 500 „,
2,000 100 „

And aro issued under the authority of Act No. 28, of
19th December, 1867, of the South Australian Parliament,
entitled "An Act to authorise the raising of Money f,,r
Railway Purposes." A copy of the Act may be inspected
at the office of the undersigned,
Buth principal and interest aro made payable iu London
at the dates specified in each Bond, the interest by Coupon
On the Ist July and Ist January of each year.
The Bonds bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per
annum, from the, let July, 1868.
The above quoted act authorises the issue of £Bll,OOO.
The present issue is the firstportion thereof,the remaining
half will not be issued till some time .neat year. Clause 5
of the Act duly provides for the payment of the interest,
and the -redemption of the Bonds of this Loan, as they fall
due.

The Bonded Debt of South Australia including the
£400,000 now issued, will amount to £1,568,000, and is
secured on the general revenue of the colony, which was
as follows, according to the latest Government official
statistics in the Agent General's possession: 1862,
£548,709 ; 1863, £631,700 ; 1864, £775,837 ; 1865,
£1,089,128 ; 1866, £949,774. The high estimation in
which the South Australian Government Bonds have al-
ways been held is sufficiently proved by the current quo-
tations in the market. the txisting Bonded Debt is an-
nually reduced by redemption 'f Bonds falling due to the
extent of about £40,000 each year. -
Sealed Tenders, made in accordance with the annexed
orm, will be received by the Bank of South Australia for
he whole or any portion of these Bonds—not being less
han £loo—until noon on Tuesday, the 13th October, and
he allotment will take place at that hour in the presence
of such of the applicants as may desire to be present.

vided the rates offered are not below the minimum which
will be fixed by the Agent General and placed in a sealed
envelope on the table 13,fore the Tenders are opened, but
the sealed envelope will only be opened in case the Agent
General declares that the whole amount has not been ten-
dered at or above his minimum.

.....
Tenders at a price including a fraction of a shilling other
than sixpence will not be preferentially accepted, and in
the event of an equality of Tenders beyond the amount of
these Bonds, a pro rata distribution on such Tenders will
be made. In the same way the Bonds fulling due at the
different dates will be distributed, as regards the dates, as
near as possible, amongst the successful tenderers.
