good legal advice that money set apart for
specific purpose-namely, the payment of
the July coupons-must be paid on the pre-
sentation of those coupons; and, if you will
observe that all the orders to brokers to
purchase the Confederate bonds specify that

must not be mutilated. \ bond presented
without the July coupon would not be pur-
chased.

bond story. The European syndicate in
tend to secure, if they can, Sll 100000 in
money to the credit ofthe Confederate States
government in European banks, and to 90

the syndicate does not tsucceed, the European
banks will be Sl1 900, 900 0ahead, as there isno
doubt that that amount of cash to the credit
of the Confederate States is deposited there"
