To our Customers and cbrresix,ndents
'She surprising devqoprnent of onr nat'onal resonr
cos and the rapidity With which the government is
now enabled‘to reduce the national debt,. by weekly
purchaaes, render it apparent that the time is ap-
preaching when the Five-Twenty bonds may be funded
at not over four or four and a hilt per cent. interest.
Meanwhile their high price, as compared with other
dames of securities paying an equal me of interest,
8 leading to general inquiry for mote profitable fo me
o f i nves t me nt ill which money may be safely laves-
During the war the necessities and peril of the, gov-
ernment, and the consegnent cheapness of its secnri-
es, rendered them BO attractive that, from this can le,
combined with the patriotic faith of the people in
heir safety, they absirbed a' most the entire floating
capital of the country, and diverted attention from
other classes of securities whi bad before been
deemed sufficiently conservative'and sound to meet the
wants of :the most crtious investors:
The government is no longer n borrdwer. It no lon
ger needs the country's capital, but desires gratefully
and honorably to rPpay it.
The rapid accumulation of capital for investment
and the reduction of the nltional 'debt and imProve-
ment of the national credlt—:rendering it certain that
hereafter but a comparatively - low rate of interest can
be derived from inreitment in government betide—ls
compelling the search for other safe and well-guarded
channels into which capital not employed in Lusineas
may wisely flow
The enterprises of Peace, no less needful in their
me and place, for the common welfare, than were the
wade and cost of War, now call for the capital which
the Government no longer' needs, and offer for its use a
remuneration which the Government need no longer
pay, and in some cases, a security , as stable and en.lu
ring as the faith of the nation itself.
The detire to: capitalize the premium which may
now be realized upon Five-Twenty, bonds, and which
a , material decline in Gold toward par, and the
ability of the Governwent to fund them at a lower
rate of lotereet, may at any time extinguish, is felt by
many holders who. desire some satisfactory assurance
a to which of the many lower-priced securities in the
market would afford the necessary safety to justify an
exchange
The apptications for int ,rination and advice which
are addressed to usidoily; show how nniver,al is the
desire for this asenrance, as to what forms of invest
ment more profitable tlian government enormities at
present market rates, are entitled to the confidence of

,It is completed, fully equipped, and in successful
operation, and its earnings in October, the first full
month, amounted to $105,000 in coin. The net earn
ingswill, by a moderate estimate, amount to $600,000
per annum, in'coin, while the interest on its Bonds
will be but $168,000.
The value o 1 the'property and franchises is not lees
