The RonuIar Loan.

The Secretary of the Treasury
has given notice to the Syndicate
that be will withdraw tie privilege
of handling the new 4 per cent.
bonds, in order to give the peo-
pie generally a chance to invest in
them, which is very considerate, and
will set a good many to wondering
why the secretary and previous Sec
retsries ever adopted any other
method. The bonds can be pur-
chased as follows, and people who
have any spare funds that they
want to invest safely, will soon
have an opportunity of doing SO,
by paying gold, or greenbacks on a
q gold valuation, for the said per
cent. bonds:
