of about II OF per cent. below the market

brokers assembled in the sub. treasury to hear
the proposals. Much interest was manifested,
and the whole scene was such as to suggest q
recollection OF the exciting days gone by,

bonds. The 5 per cent put up by those offer.
ing bonds locked up until the secretary y de-
cision was received, amounted TO s550,000.
