SPECIE FOR THE CONFEDERATE LOAN
Mr.. Memmnger. has addressed circu
lar to the President and Directors OF th'
Banks in the Confederate States, settin,
forth the Importance of paying the nev
loan in specie. In Louisiana. Mississippi
Texas and Lower Alabama, the Bank
are not in state Of suspension, and th'
currency is at par, while in other section
it is two or three per cent. below the val
ue of coin. This renders the subscrir
ton unequal unless the Banks resolve t.
redeem such of their notes as may b
paid in on the loan, in specie. He est
mates that the cost of providing speci
on the portion of the loan likely to b
taken in the States where banks are sus
pended would not be over $4,000; ant
would probably be less, as many OF tn
notes will be in the hands Of the Govern
ment, and will be used in many cases s.
as to require no coin from the Banks.
