OF the death Of B. NJ. Runyan, Is O.,
ofSt. Louis, which took place on Sund az
last, and whose failure we nou ed
but a few weeks ago, the st. Louis Dean
ocrGt says:
He was apparently well on Sunday
evening, but we are informed that when
his family returned from church service
he was found dead. His reputation
among business men for all those up right
qualifications whichhRves so distingui shell
the merchants and bankers Of st. Louis
ranked among the highest, and though
compelled to close his bank from 81 were
losses ocessioned by dscounting l1pon
cotton collaterals, yet it was ascerts ined
upon investigating his affairs that I here
were sufficient assets to satisfy e very
dollar of Indebtedness.
Mr. Runyan leaves a family and q
large circle Of warm personal friends to
mOur his untimely taking away"

Holders Of August 7-30s sending them
to the treasury for conversion should IN
derstand that the interest on them is |
paid to the first Of July. Holders receiv-
ing in exchange for them $50 bonds
bearing interest from LIST July. The Au-
gust 7-30s should all be funded or sold
bef0se July LIST, for these reasons Dur
inSune the $50 bond got for them has
the gold coupon on. On the first Of July
this advantage, worth SO on every $1,000,
will be lost, and the 7-3G will fall fully l /
per cent. On the 10th of August they
viii be worth only their face. Now t45
bonds can be had at the time of parting
with the note. InJuly, and for the first
fifteen days Of August, it is not likely
that these bonds will be ready for deliO-
cry at the time of funding
