The Secretary of the Treasury has not
vet given notice of aRv intention TO with
draw this popula. Loan from Sale at Par,
and until ten days n0lice is given, the
undersigned, as 'sGeneral Subscription
AGENT will continue to supply he public.
The whole amount OF the Loan anthor-
lied is Five Hundred Millions of Dollars.
Nearly -Four Hundred Millions have been
already subscribed for aud paid into lhe
Treasury, mostly within Inc last seven
mon hs. The large demand from abroad.
and the rapidly increasing home demand
for use As the basis Tor circulation by Ma
tlonal Banking Associations now oIganz-
ing in all paris of the country, will, in
very short period absorb the balance
Sales have lately ranged from Ten TO fii-
teeu millions weekly, frequently exceed
ing three millions daily, and as II is well
known thai the Secretary of the Treasury
has ample and unfaling resources in the
Dulies on Imports and llernal Revenues
and in the issue of the Interest bearing
lie gal Tender Ire asury Notes, il is almost
certainty that he will not find il neces-
saay, for long time 10 come, TO seek
market for any olhe long or permanent
Loans, The Interest and Principal of which
are payable in GOLD.
Prudence and self interest must force
the minds those contemplating the for
nation of National Banking Associations
as well as the minds oil all who have idle
money on their hands, TO the prompt con
clusion that they should lose Lo time in
subscribing TO this most popular Loan
Ii will soon be beyond theIr reach, and
advance 10 handsome premium, was
the result with the 1Seveu Thirty Loan,
when it was all sold and could no longer
be subscribed for AT par.
1T Is a SIX PER CENT LOAN, THE
Interest aud Principal payable in Com,
thus Welding over Niue per cent. per an
mum al the present Tale OF premium on
Coin.
The Government requires all duties on
Imports TO be paid in coin; tbnse duties
bave for a long time past amounled TO
over a Quarter OF Million OF Dollars
daily, sum nearly three times greater
than that required in the payment OF the
Interest on all The 5-20's aud olher perIna-
nent Loans. So that il is hoped that the
surplus Coin in the Treasury, at no distant
day, will enable The United States to re-
sume specie payments npon all liabilit es.
The Loan is called 5 20 from the iact
that whilst The Bonds may ruH Tor twenty

So, 600 and $4,000 For Banking pufpo-
ses and for investments OF Truss monies,
The Registered bonds are preferable.
These 5-20's cannot be laxed by Sales
cities, towns, or counties, and the Govern
ment tax on them j. only l. per cent, on
the amonnt of income, when the iuc ONE

IN the delivery OF the Bonds is unavoida-
Bile, the demand being so great; bot a. in
