IMPORTANT NOTICES.
U. s., 5-2O'S.

TJyHE Secretary of the Treasury has not yet given
tice of any intention to Withdraw his popular Loan
from Sale at Par and until ten days notice Is given the
undersigned, General SUBSCRIPTION Agent will con-
tinue to supply the public.
The whole amount of the Loan authorized is FIVE Hun
dred Millions of Dollars Nearly Four Hundred Millions
have been already subscribed for and paid into the Treas
ury mostly within the last months The large de
mand from abroad and the rapidly increasing home de
mand for the basis for circulation by National Bank
ing Associations organizing In all parts of the coun
try, will in very short period absorb the balance
Sales have lately ranged to fifteen millions week
y frequently exceeding three millions daily and as 1t
well knowp that the Secretary of the Treasury has ample
and uniang in the Duties Imports and In
ternal Revenue and in the issue of the
Legal Tender Treasury Notes II Is almost certainty that
he will not find necessary, for long time to come TO
seek market for any other long permanent loans the
Interest and Principal of which are payable in Cold
Prudence sefinteres the minds Of those
contemplating the formation of National Banking Asso-
Citations as well as the minds of all who have idle money
their hands, the prompt conclusion that they should
lose time in subscribing to this most popular Loan IL
will soon be beyond their reach and advance to hand,
premium, the result with the Seyen Thirty
Loan when it all sold and could longer be subscri
bed for at par. Q
II is SIX per Cent Loan, the Interest and Principle
payable in Coin, thus yielding Nine per Cent per
mum at the present rate of premium on coin.
The Government requires all duties imports to be
paid in Coin These duties have for long time past
amounted to Quarter of Million of Dollars daily,
sum nearly three times greater than that required in the
payment of the interest all the 520s and other per-
loans. So is hoped that the Surplus Coin in the
Treasury at no distant day will enable the United States
to resume specie payments upon all liabilities.
The loans is called 500 from the fact that whilst the
Bonds may run for 20 years. yet the Government has
right to pay them off Cold at par at any time after
years
The Interest is paid halfyearly viz: the first days
of November and May.
Subscribers have Coupon Bonds which payable
to bearer and 500 $780, $500 and $1,000 Registered
Bonds of denominations and in addition S. 600 and
$4,000. For Banking purposes and for Investments of
Trustmones tile Registered Bonds are preferable.
These 50s cannot be taxed by States cities towns
counties and the Government them only half
per cent the amount of income, when the income of
holder exceeds Six Hundred Dollars per annum. All
other Investments, such as income from Mortgages
Railroad Stock and Bonds etc. must pay from three
five per cent. tax the income.
Banks and Bankers throughout the Country will
nue to dispose of the Bonds; and all orders by mail
otherwise, will be promptly attended to-
The Inconvenience of few days delay in the delivery
of the Bonds unavoidable the demand being great
but interest from the day of subscription
no less is occasioned and every effort being made to H
minish the delay.
