II will thus be seen that the loan will
be popular one and the circular
gives notice that the government will
sell Sl00. .Ooo. 900 thirty-yeRr four per cent
coupon or registered bonds, dated Feb
ruary /, 1895. for which purchasers
will be required to pay In gold coin
or gold certificates, The fact that the
bonds will be issued In sums OF $50 and
multIples thereof and be payable in
instRlmcnts Is feature which It IS be-
lleved will make them regarded with
popular favor.
The main reason for dating the bonds
a year back IL said to be in order to
give the public better opportunity
to Judge their market value by COM
pairing them with the gold fours issued
at that time. so that their bids can be
made TO conform with the market value
OF those bonds on the first OF February.
