are slow to come in Tor continuance
D operly indorsed and assigned. No
tees 70 continuance ola large proper
ton OF the loan have reached the
treasury, but nothing can be done until
the bC n Is themselves arrive. The tar
diness with which they move is no in-
dication OF reluctance to accept the
terms OF the treasury circular, and prac-
tically all will be stamped eventually as
is proved by the premium they com.
nand for this purpose in the market;
although the 10th OF May is the limit
for giving notice, still late onss will
probably not be held very strictly TO the
letter OF the law.
