The whole amount of the loan authorized
is Five Hundred Millions Of Dollars. Nearly
Four Hundred Miiiio0s have already been
subscribed for and paid into the Treasury,
mostly within the last seven months. The
large demand from abroad, and the rapidly
increasing home demand, Tor use as the basis
for Circulation by National Banking AS>Ocia-
uons nov organizing IN all parts OF The coun-
uy, will, IN a very short period, absorb The
balance. Sales have lately ranged from ten
10 fifteen millions weekly, frequently exceed
ing three millions daily; and as II IS well
known that the Secretary OF the Treasury has
ample and uniailIng resources, IN the duties
on imports and internal revenues, and IN The

ports TO be paid IN coin; these duties have
for a long time past amounted TO over
quarter of a million of dollars daily, sum
nearly three times greater than that required
