Wednesdays Tribune observes respectin
Tuesdays Monetary affairs:
There have been only W or three bid
put il yet for the fourteen million loan ad
veTtised for by the Secretary of Treasury
the proposals fer which, are TO be opened O
the 3otb inst. These bids are for Treasur
Notes, which the Secretary has the right {
issue upon the failure to obtain bids for th
stock. A. the issue OF 6 per cent. stock
limited. by the act authorizing it to pal
there vii of course, be no bids for it. TIL
Secretsry viii then resort TO Treasury Notei
bearing 6 per cent. interest, convertibl
within two years into twenty year 6 pc
cent. stock. AS he needs but two or thre
million in addition TO the proceeds of tn
last loan, TO carry the Government throug
TO the meeting Of Congress, there win be n
difficulty in getting off that amount Of note
There is rather more activity in None
matters, consequent upon the pay ments {
the Government Loan, but we have Ii
change TO note in any other respect.
There has been a fair amount of bushes
in foreign Bills for this mail, but at the clos
