Those of our friends who are interested will
be Glad to learn that Messrs. Jay Cooke & Co,
announce by advertisement elsewhere, that they
are now prepared TO convert all issues of United
States 7'30 bonds into 5-20s. This exchange can
now be effected with profit to the holder, by
acceptance of the 500 issues of January and
July. It is better to make this exchange, too,
as the new issues are subject to the more recent
and permanent regulations of the Treasury De-
partment, and are just as secure as an invest
ment.
