FINAL SALE OF FOUR PER 
CENT BONDS. 
Funding of the Ten - Forties 
and the remainder of the un¬ 
redeemed Five-Twenties. 
Having a large interest in the recent subscription 
made to the Treasury Department for the final 
negotiation of the Four per Cent, bonds remaining 
unsold, we are prepared to furnish the bonds in 
large or small amounts, Coupon or Registered, in 
all denominations, for cash, or in exchange for 
called Five-Twenties, Ten-Forties, or other Govern¬ 
ment bonds, on the most favorable terms, and to 
extend to investors and institutions the best availa¬ 
ble facilities for purchase or exchange. 
A full supply of Coupon Bonds will he kept on 
hand at our office for immediate delivery in de¬ 
nominations of $50, $100, $500 and $1,000. 
Registered Bonds in denominations of $50, $100, 
$500, $1,000, $5,000, $10,000, $30,000, or $50,000, 
registered in the name of the purchasers, will be 
delivered as soon after the receipt of the order as 
the certificates can be received from Washington. 
Exchanges will be made with National Banks for 
bonds held to secure circulation, and the Four per 
Cent, bonds will be placed with the Treasurer of 
the United States, and the Five-Twenties, Ten- 
Forties, or other bonds withdrawn, without addi¬ 
tional cost to the banks, and without the employ¬ 
ment or advance of any money on their part being 
required. 
Orders or enquiries by mail or telegraph will re¬ 
ceive careful and prompt attention, and parties de¬ 
siring to make their purchases or exchanges in this 
way, will receive all the advantages that their per¬ 
sonal presence in the market could secure. 
The remarkable success of the Treasury Depart¬ 
ment in the negotiation of the Four perCent. bonds 
during the last four months, within which time 
amounts being taken in exchanges by holders of 
Fives and Sixes of 1881; with the increasing de¬ 
mand from the people for cash, the amount of Fours 
available to supply the holders of Five-Twenties of 
1867 and 1868 and Ten-Forties maturing in July, is 
daily becoming smaller ; and therefore, those who 
delay exchanging must not be dissapointed if they 
find the market price of the Fours steadily ad¬ 
vancing. 
The immense quantities of gold poured into the 
coffers of the world the past ten years ; the enor¬ 
mous amounts of values wiped out of existence; 
the depreciation in state, city and railroad bonds 
and stocks ; the losses by savings banks and insti¬ 
tutions of trust the world over; the fact that the* 
flash of the cable and telegraph wires, and the speed 
of the locomotive and steamer have quadrupled the 
capacities of capital, while the reduction in the 
cost of material, machinery, labor and products, 
has largely reduced the requirements of business, 
even with the fullest activity and prosperity in busi¬ 
ness enterprises—all tend to show that we have en¬ 
tered on a long era of cheap money, while the mar¬ 
velous drawing together of the nations of the earth 
in financial matters, makes the bonds of the United 
States Government almost as homelike in England, 
Germany and France as their own national bonds.

over $500,000,000 have been sold, affords occasion 
for universal congratulation among all patriotic 
citizens, whatever may be their personal disappoints 
ments as bondholders, that their bonds bearing 
higher rates of interest than four per cent, have not 
been permitted to run for a longer period, and that 
the life of their investments in Five-Twenties and 
Ten-Forties has been so rapidly and unexpectedly 
cut short. 
It demonstrates, moreover, that the credit and 
borrowing power of the United States Government 
has become fully and firmly established on a basis 
of less than four per cent, per annum, and, in con¬ 
nection with other conditions incident to it, indi¬ 
cates that the Four per Cent. “Funded Loan” of 
the Government must shortly advance in this and 
the other financial markets of the world to a con¬ 
siderable premium above par. 
In addition to the $194,000,000 of Ten-Forties 
called in by the Secretary of the Treasury, the 
reinvestment of the proceeds of which would 
absorb the entire amount of the Four per Cent, 
bonds, recently subscribed for, and all the $10 re¬ 
funding certificates which the Secretary reserves 
for popular subscriptions, it was estimated that not 
less than $100,000,000 of the Five-Twenties called 
in were, at the time of the final subscription for the 
Four per Cents, still unredeemed in the hands of 
investors and institutions, the proceeds of which 
must seek reinvestment within the next ninety days. 
Of the $131,000,000 Four perCents., taken by the 
First National Bank, ourselves, and others, over 
$75,000,000 have been disposed of in less than thirty 
days, to permanent investors. At this rate the bal¬ 
ance will be absorbed long before July. With the 
large demand from London ; with the demand from 
holders of the maturing Fiye-TweaHea; with the 
FINE TEAS

sumers at prices
