The principal question asked in Wall street, Is.
how the to negotiate another large loan
In what shape o loan be made Some propose
to raise another loan by issue Of treasury notes of
small denominations others by the issue Of stock and
others of the opinion that modification Of the in
dependent treasury act would be the most feasible,
as l. would enable the government to make direct
stock loan at par above par for almost any amount
There are three ways by which the government can
raise money First, by issue Of treasury notes Of
large denominations similar to those already Issued
Second, by issue of stock Third, by an issue Of
treasury notes Of small denominations, such as
would circulate among the people, and for which
they would give their specie. These the ways
proposed, each OF which has its objections Under
existing circumstances, the most feasible II by an
issue of easury notes Of small denominations loan
upon treasury notes Of large denominations could not
be made above ninety cent In the present state Of
the money market. modification Of the independent
treasury system would be compromise Of the political
principles Of the government and therefore, out Of the
question few weeks will settle all these points the
government must be in the market borrower, in
some shape.
