BANK OF THOMPSON BRoTHEBs, J
ST. PAUL, Dec 10, 1868. (
The Secretary of the Treasury has not give,
notice fany intention to withdraw this pop,,-
lar Lean from sale at Par. and until ten days
notice is given the undersigned, as "Geue/ui
Subscri:tion I1gent," will continue to supply the
public.
The whole amount OF the Loan authorized is
Five Hundred Millions Of Dollars. Nsu,zy E1u,
Xundred Mzlions Aare been u1ready su6scsJed. .f1,
and pa'd int" the Teaswy, mostly within the
last seven months The largo demand from
abroad, and the rapidly increasing home do
nand, tor use tho basis for circulation by
National Banking Associations now organic
ing in all parts of the country, will in very
short period, absorb the balance. Sales have
latoly ranged from ten to fifteen millions week
ly, frequently exceeding three millions daily,
md as tits we'll known that tho Secretary of
the Treasury has ample and unaiing rcsour-
ces in the Duties on Imports and Internal
Revenues, and In the issue Of tho Interest
bearing Legal Tender Treasury Notes, it is al
most certainty that he will not find it neccs-
sary, for long time to como, to seek q market
tor any other long or perma mont Louis, the i'm =
terest and principal Of whc| are payable in
Prudence and self: interest must force the
minds OF those contemplating the formation Of
National Banking Associations, as we'll as tho
minds Of all who have idle money on thcir
hands, to tho prompt conclusion that they
should lose no :iae in subscribing to this M ost
popular Loan. 1t will soon be beyond their
roach and advance to handsome premium, as
was tho result with the ''Seven- thirty" Loan
whom it was all sold and could no longer be
subscribed tor at par.
1t is six cont Loan, tho Intercs. and Prin
"rp|e payable in coir, thus yielding over Nine
per Cont, per annum, ut the present rate of
premium on coin.
Tho government requires all duties on i'm.
ports to be paid in Coin these duties have for
IL lpng time past amounted to over Quarter OF
1" Million Of Dollars daily, sum noarly thrcc
times greater than that required in tho pay
mont OF tho interest Oh all the 5-20's and 9th
or permanent Loans, SO that it is hoped that
tho surplus Coin IN the Treasury, at no distant
day, will enable tho United States tc resume
specie payments upon al liabilities.
The Loan is called 5-2a from the fact that
Government has right to pay them off in
Gold ut par, at any time after 5ycars.
rho interest is payable half-yearly viz on
tho first days of November aud May.
Subscribers can have Cou n'n Bonds, which
arerAyuhlc to bearer, and arc $50, sl0D, $500
"nd $1,000; or Register Bonds of same donom-
nations. and i'll addition $4,000 and slo ,ooo.--
for Banking purposes and investment OF
Trust moneys, the Registered Bonds are pro-
forablo.
These 3o's DO taxed by States, cities :,
towns or counties, and the Government tax on
them Is only ono-and -a-half per cent on the
amount Of income, when tho income Of the
holdor cxcoods Six Hundred Dollars per an
mum all other investments. such as income
from Mortgages, Railro I'd Stock and Bonds.
atc., must pay. from .hree to FIVE per ce,.t tax
on the income.
Tho Inconvenience Of a few days delay in the
delivery Of tho Bond. is unavoidable the de-
mand being 40 great but as Interests com
menccs from tho day Of subscription, no loss
is occasioned and every effort is beng made to
diminish tho delay,
