THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY has not yet given notice of any intention to withdraw this popular Loan from Sale at Par, and until after ten days notice has been given, the un- dersigned, as AGENTS FOR THE SALE OF THE BONDS, will continue to supply the public.
 The whole a,nonnt of the Loan authorized is Five Hundred Millions of Dollars. NEARLY FoUR HUNDRED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS HAVE BEEN ALREADY SUBSCRIBED LOR AND PAID INTO THE TREASURY, mostly within the last seven months. The large demand from abroad, and the rapidly increasing home demand for use as the basis for circulation by National Bank ing Associations, now organizing in all parts ot the country, will, in very short period. absorb the balance. Sales have lately ranged from ten to fifteen millions weekly, frequent ly exceeding three millions daily, and as it is we'll known that the Secretary of the Treasu- ry has ample and unfailing resources in the Duties and Imports and Internal Revenues and in the issue of the Interest Bearing Le- gal Tender Treasury Notes, it is almost cer- tsinty that he will not find it necessary, for long time to come, to seek q market for any other long or permanent Loans, THE INTE- REST AND PRINCIPAL OF WHICH ARE PAYABLE IN GOLD.
 Prudence and self-interest must force the minds of those contemplating the form ation of National Banking Associations, as well as
 
 hands, to the prompt conclusion that they should lose no time in subscribing to this most popular Loan. It will soon be beyond tn cir reach, and advance to a handsome premiu m, as was the result of the "Seyen Thirty" Loan, when it was all sold and could no longer be subscribed for at par.
 IT IS A SIX PER CENT LOAN, THE INTEREsT AND PRINCIPAL PAeABLE IN CoIN THUS YIELD ING GvER NINE PER CENT PER ANEuM at the present rate of premium on coin.
 The Government requires all duties on I'm ports to be paid in Coin these duties have for long time past amounted to overa
 Quarter of Million of Dollars daily, sum nearly three times greater than that re- quired in the payment of the interest on all the 5 20's and other permanent Loans. So that it is hoped that the surplus Coin in the Treasury, at no distant day, will enable the United States to resume specir payments upon ali liabilities.
 The Loan is called 5-20 from the fact that while. the Bond. may run for 20 years, yet the Cove nmcnt has q right to pay them of in Gold, at par, at any time after five years.
 HE INTEREST Is PAID HALF YEARLY, viz on the first days of November and May.
 Subs bscribers can have Coupon Bonds, which are pa Jable to bearer, and are $50, slOO, and s1 GOO or kegistert Bonds of same denomi nations, and in addition, $5,000 and SIC, GOO. For Banking purposes and for investments of Trust-lnonies, the Registered Bonds are pref erable
 These 5-20s cannot be taxed by Stat es, Cit ies, Towns, or Counties, and the Government tax on them is only one and half per cent. on the amount of income. when the income of the holder exceeds Six Hundred Dollars ner mum all other investments, such as incom. from Mortgages, Railroad Stocks and Bonds etc must pay from three to five per cent. tax OH the income BANKS AND BANKERS throughout the coun- try will continue to dispose of inc Bonds and all orders sent to Us by mail, or otherwise, will be promptly attended to.
 The inconvenience Of few days delay in the delivery of the Bonds is at times unavod able, the demand being so great but as inter est commences from the day of subscription no loss is occasioned, and every effort is being made to deliver the Bonds as promptly as possible.
