that impossible, narrowly escaping two

course north and went through Canada.
By the assistance of Col. j.. II. Holcomb,

Notes Of Third Series Of 1905 Now Readv.

The demand for the Second Series of
the 7-30 Notes was so great that the
Treasury Department was unable to
print them with sufficient rapidity to fill
the orders. 1t will be remembered that
a hundred millions were subscribed for
in a single week. The printing presses
have finally surrounded the difficulty,
and on Wednesday, June 9TH, the deliV-
cries of the Third Series commenced, and
will be continued with the same prompt
ness hat marked the supply of the notes
of the first and second series. It has
been this interruption of delivery at the
time Of subscription which has given an
appearance of a falling off in the popular
taking of the loan,-the great body of
small takers being unwilling to pay their
money unless they receive their notes
right in hand, to carry them home. 1t is
expected that after this week the daily
subscriptions to the Seven-Thirties will
run up into millions, as they will un-
doubtedly be stimulated by the opening
of the farmers wool market East and
West. 1t is not at all likely the Govern
ment will ever again offer so desirable a
security as these notes, and about two
hundred millions only remain to be
taken.
With the close of the war the national
expenses will be vastly reduced, and in
vestors must look for a sharp reduction
in the rate Of interest as soon as the pres
ent loan becomes due, can be paid off.
There is no reason why the United States
credit for money should ever fall below
its credit for courage. The same spirit
that preserved the geographical integrity
of the country win place its pecuRiarq
integrity on a par with that of the most
favored nations-and that will represent
a rate of interest under rather than over
four per cent.
