.osed the example. Great efforts we're
made TO sustain the Bank OF the Metro

The entire means of the Government

I'd to sustain its credit YET all would not

IL Mobile suspended on the 18th insInt,
'nd those Of New Orleans on the l3th;
II appears therefore that they were not
Influenced by the course pursued by the
banks in the eastern states, but by gene
''I necessity which prevails at all points.
Some few banks still hold out, but they
will be hardly able to do so for any great
lengsh of time; and it would perhaps be
q wiser course to husband their specie,
'ha! they may be the better able to re-
S1ne cash payments when the fury OF
the storm has passed over.

TREASURY NOTES.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
12th October 1927

Congress has, by an act approved on
the 18th inst, authorised the issue of
Treasury notes to the amount of 10 mil
lion of dollars, in denominations not less
than fifty dollars each receivable in all
payments to the United States, and
bearing interest at the rate not exceed
ing six per cent per annum.-The un-
dersigned, for the purpose of affecting
payments to such public creditors as
may not choose to receive said notes,
invites offers for the exchange or loan
Of them for the legal currency of the
United States.
The proposals will state the place
where the money is to be deposited,
at the lowest rate of interest to be born
by the notes when taken at par.
Those who receive no reply will con-
slider it as sufficient evidence that
their offers are not accepted.
