TIE TREASURY AND THE ADVANCE IN cobb
Ills stated in financial circles here that
the Secretary Of the Treasury has been s[,
urged BY some Of the most noted financ'efs
notlte make any efforts to arrest the advance
of the spfemiam I'D gold for the present. As
1t only tends 70 promote subscriptions 70
the new fenlforty loan.
OFFICIAL coRREcTJeN--THET EH'FoRTY LOAN
The Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury,
George Harrington, authorizes the puoiica'
ton Of the following go :,
The Abatement contained in . special DC
snatch to the New York World of the 7th
;nst. that the interest on the ten.forty
loan will probably be raised to SIX per cent,
Is incorrect. There is no reason to doubt
that bonds bearing five per cent, principal
and interest payable in gold, will command
al the money the Treasury will need to
borrow. Instructions to the national banks
acting as loan agents were issued March 70,
and the subscriptions reported to the United
States Treasurer up to April g, amount to
S8. GOT 81. No doubt is entertained that
the subscriptions will rapidly increase as
soon as the various agencies are organized
and in operation throughout the country.
THE NATIoLAL BANK QUESTION.
It is stated by Senators that National
Bank or Currency bill will be passed by the
Senate and sent TO the House for its concur

TON.
Mr.. Henderson's speech to-day in the
Senate, advocating the proposition to amend
the Constitution, is regarded as an exceed
ingly able effort, and of much significance,
coming as it did from stakeholder. Atits
conclusion an effort was made to cut off
further debate, and get vote upon the
question this afternoon; but at the solicita-
ton of Mr.. Summers friends further consid-
Grafton of the subject was postponed in
order to enable him to express his views
tomorrow. A final vote will be secured, if
possible, this week, and from the manifesto
tions of Senators there Is reason to believe
that, with the exception Of Mr.. Hendricks
and the Senators from Delaware and Ken
lucky, the resolutions will be unanimously
adopted.
