Guthrie Leader: Yesterday the S4s, 900 |
OF territorial bonds were sold as per
Treasurer Murphy's notice, issued some |
days ago They consisted of $4,000 ter |
ritorial university, $4,000 normal school |
and 5000 agricultural college bonds, all |
10-30's, drawing per cent; and the sue |
cessful bidder was Mr.. NJ. Il. Turner, |
cashier of the Capital National bank |
of this city, he bidding $3.50 pre-
MUM on the entire issue. There !
had been considerable apprehension !
that the territory would |
be unable to find a purchaser for the |
owing to the disturbed condi- |
ton of the money market. New York has |
been refusing country securities for some |
time, and it seemed doubtful whether any |
acceptable offer would be found when the |
bids were opened. The result is highly |
and too much credit cannot be |
given Governor Renfrow and Treasurer |
Murphy in making so good a sale in a
time of extreme financial depression. 1t |
also speaks well for Guthrie chat one of |
our local financial institutions was able to
purchase the bonds of the territory at
price above par. thus showing to the |
that we are independent of out
side help in financial matter. Okla
homa's bonds are gilt-edged.
