New Orleans daily crescent., 1866-10-15

notes falling due August 1867, into 5.20's, con- |
tnue TO be made to the treasury department at !
the rate OF something less than four millions per
week. There are now outstanding about two hum
dred and seventy millions of this issue of 1905. /
These notes, owing to the immense clerical labor
involved IN their examination, can be redeemed 4
by the department at only the average rate of
five millions per week, if presented as rapidly as
they could be disposed of. Parties holding $50
notes of the above issue will therefore do well to
forward them to the treasury for conversion into
5-21's as soon as possible.
