The whole amount of the loan authorized Ia five
hundred millions of dollars Nearly four hundred
millions have been already ubscfled for and paid

Banking Associations, as well as the minds of all
who have idle money ON their hands, to the
prompt copclusion that they should lose no time

Loans. So that it is hoped that the surplus Coin
