Iowa STATE BoNDs.-The failure of
the State Loan Commissioners to
effect a sale of Iowa Bonds in New
York. except at such prices as they
did not feel justified in accepting,
with one small exccption,) will COM
pei the Commissioners to resort to
some other plan for realizing the
money from them.
Treasurer Jones, who was in this
city Saturday, informs us that he has
already disposed of $4,000 Of these
bonds, viz:
$4,000 to E. C. Lyon, of Iowa City,
at par. $500 to parties in Des Moines,
at par. $1,000 to w. b. Allison, of
Dubuque, at par. $4,000 in New York
at % cents.
The Commissioners are not author
lied to accept bids under 90 cents. 1t
is hoped the State Banks will come
forward and take about all the amount
required, which will be some 5000, 900.
