Il yet given notice of any intention 10 withdraw tbs
popular Loan from sale at par, ana until ten days
tice Is gwen me Undersigned as General SubscHp'
ton Agent" will continue 10 supply the public.
The whole amount of the Loan authorized is Five
Hundred Millions of Dollars. Nearly Four Hundred
Millions have b.en already subscribed for anI paid in
to the Treasury, mostly within the last months
The large demand from abroad, and the rapidly ncreas
ing home demand for use basis for circulation by
National Banking Associations organizing in all
sorb the balance Sales have lately ranged from ten to
fifteen millions weekly, Frequently exceeding three
millions daily and as 1t is well known that the Secre
tary of the Treasury has ample and -unfaing
ces in the Duties on Imports and internal Revenues
aud in the issue of the Interest bearing Legal Tender
Treasury Notes, ii is almost certainty that he will
not ind 1t necessary, for Ong time TO to seek,
market 10, any other long or permanent Loans, the
Int rest and Principal of which payable in GOLD.
Prudence and self interest must force the minds of
those contemplating the formation of National lank
ing Associations as well as the minds of all who nave
idle money on their hands, to The prompt conclusion
that they should lose no time in subscribing 10 this
most popular Loan 1t will soon be beyond their r'ach
suit Ith the 'SevGn Thirty Loan, when il was all
sold ana could no longer be subscribed for AT par
-; SIX per Cent Loan, the Interest and Principal
payable in Coin, thus yielding Nine per cent per
"'h rd a. ,ne present rate OF premium on com ho
paid IN Coin; these duties have for long Time past
amounted 10 over Quarter of million OF Dollars
dai'y sum nearly three times greater than tha re-
quired IN The payment of the interest on all she 3sos
and other permanent Loans. So that is hoped that
the surplus Coin in the Treasury, OF no distant day
will enable the United states to resume specie pay
ments upon all liabilities.
The Loan is called $50 from the fact that whilst the
Bonds may be for 20 years yet the Government mas
right to pay them off in Gold at paf at any time al
