The Secretary of the Treasury has not yet
given notice of any intention to withdraw this pop
ular Lean from Sales at Par, and until ten days
notice is given, the undersigned. as IS General
subscription AGENT" will continne to supply
the public.
The whole amount of the Loan authorized is
Five Hundred Millions of Dollars Nearly -Four
Hundred Millions hare been already subscribed
for and paid into the Treasury. mostly within
the last seven months. The large demand from
abroad, and the rapidly increasing home demand
LOT use as the basis for circulation by National
bsnking Associations, organizing in all parts of
the country, will. in a very short PERIOD absorb
the balances. Sales have lately ranged from ten
to fifteen millions weekly, frequently exceeding
three millions daily, and it is well known that the
Secretary Of the Treasury has ample and unfailing
resources in the Duties on imports and Internal
Revenues, and in the issue of the Interest bearing
Legal Tender Treasury Notes, it is almost a GER
tainty that he will not find it necessary. for long
time to come, to seek market fer any other long or
permanent Loans. THE INTEREST AND PRIN-
clPAL OF WHICH ARE PAYABLE in GOLD.
Prudence and self interest must force the minds
OF those contemplating the formation of National
Banking Associations, as we'll as the minds of all
who have idle money on their hands, TO the prompt
conclusion that they should lose no time in sub
scribing to this most popular Loan. 1t will soon
be beyond their reach, and advance to (, handsome
premium, as was the result With the "Seyen
THIRTY" Loan, when it was all sold and could no
longer be subscribed for at par
1t us Sir per Cent Loan, tie Interest and Prin-
eapaI Payable in Coin, thus yieldng ocer Nine per
Cent per annum at the present rates of premium
on coin.
The Government requires all duties on imports
to be paid in Coin; these duties have for long
time past amounted to over Quarter of Million
Dollars daily, sum nearly three times greater
than that required in the payment of the interest
on oil the 5-20's and other permanent Loans. So
that it is hoped that the surplus Coin in the
Treasury, at no distant day, will enable the United
States to resume specie payments upon all liza
bilities.
The Loan is called 500 from the fact that whilst
the Bonds may run for 20 years yet the Govern
ment has right to pay them off in Gold at par, at
| any time after years.
THE INTEREST is PAID HALF-YEARLY,
viz: on the first days of November and May.
Subscribers can have Coupon Bonds, which are
payable to bearer, and $50. 800, $500 and
$1,000: or Registered Bonds of same denomina-
tons, and in addition, IS 600. and $40 600. For
Banking purposes and for investments of Trust
monies the Registered Bonds are preferable.
These 5-20's cannot be taxed by States, cities,
towns, or counties, and the Government tax on
them is only one-and-a-half per cent, on the
amount of income, when the income of the holder
exceeds Six Hundred Dollars per annam ali 9TH
er investments, such as income from Mortgages,
Railroad Stock and Bonds, etc., must pay from
three to five per cent tax on the income.
Banks and Bankers throughout the Country will
continue to dispose of the Bonds and all orders
by mail, or otherwise, promptly attended to-
| The Inconvenience of a few days delay in the
delivery of the Bonds are unavoidable, the de-
mand being so great but as interest commences
from the day of subscription. no loss is occasoned,
and every effort is being made to diminish the
delay.
