Treasury DEPARTMENT,

July 20, lo4J.
TN order TO prevent the alteration Of the amounts
i for which certificates OF United States stock are
or NAV be issued ii has been determined not 10 Is-
sue any certificates Of the loan Of lS43 except those
in which the sum is engraved, aud where the dife-
rent denominations very distinctly exhibited by
plates varying from each other in their style and Wig
nettes. These denominations will be 500, $500,
., 900, $1,000, 5000, $4,000.
No transfer OF stockSn that loan therefore be
made of any fractional part OF 800, in any case.
To accomplish the same object, as far as may be
possible in relation to stock in other loans of the
United States, certificates will be issued for q
fractional part OF $780, except for sums between SOO
and $780, and then only upon trainers OF such irac-
tonai certificates as have heretofore been issued
No future transfer Of any stock requiring certificate
of any fraction Of $780, except in the case last spe.
cited, will therefore be hereafter sanctioned. All
other certificates will have the engraved II Is
earnestly desired that holders OF certificates In which
the sum is written, will return them to the Treasury in
exchange for those in which the denominations
graved II is presumed that the holders will perceive
the additional security, winch this arrangement will
afford to them and to the Government. The ccrtih-
Gates to be exchanged, having endorsed on them an
order for such exchange by The holder, may be left
with any depository OF the Treasury, by whom they
will DO transmitted and those received in return will
be delivered to the holders, free OF all expense.
In the new certificates of stock of the loan OF lS43
transferable the books of the Treasury, il will be
perceived that an assignment is engraved at the end
of each. This assignment is in no case to be sepa,
rated from the body Of the certificate, until actual
transfer at the Treasury has been made, when it will
be cut off, for the purpose of destroying the negotia
bility of the certificate. Aud its separation will, in
all cases be evidence that the certificate itself has
been assigned and is no longer'a valid security.
