The UNITED STATES Loan. The Treasury
Department has issued proposals. for loan Of
IS 900, 900, on stock bearing six per cent in
terest, and having ten years to run to maturity.
The Union says
"The law under which the loan is proposed
to be made, limits the amount to ten millions
of dollars, leaving it to the option of the gov
eminent to issue treasury notes, or make loan,
or both, provided the treasury notes and loan
do not together exceed ten millions of dollars.
1t would appear, from the course pursued by
the Treasury Department, to be the intention
Of the government to effect the whole opera
ton, by an issue Of FIVE millions of treasury
notes, and loan of five millions of dollars on
". With loan ofhve millions of dollars, and
an issue of five millions of dollars of treasury
notes, together with the moneys now in the
treasury, and the accruing proceeds of the Gus
toms, and of the sales Of the public lands, it is
believed that the government will have all the
funds required"
