ALEXANDRIA AFFA|RSB0NDS Below PAR
First Sale of 2 1-2 Per Cent
P0staIs Down to 90 1-2.
LOWER THAN. EXPECTED
Bankers Realized That They Would
Not Bring Price Paid-Not
Considered III Omen.

NEW YORK. November THE first
sale OF United States government 21e per
cent bonds. issued through the postal
savings bank department, has just been
made the market here, the bonds
fetching only 92k 1t was realized by
bankers from the time that the first of
these postal savings bonds were issued
that they would not be worth par, but
the sale at 92ia has put lower valua-
ton on them than some government bond
dealers expected.
1t thus appears that the small depositor
who takes bonds at par must hold his
bonds until maturity. twenty years hence,
or. If forced to realize on his holdings,
must accept a heavy loss on his princi-
pal. For example, the holder of $500 of
these .ls per cent bonds who bought them
last July for 500 has now sold them for
S1S5, suffering a loss of 7ls per cent OF
the principal invested four months ago.
Bankers declare that it will be neces-
sarSa for the government to adopt some
change whereby the parity of these bonds
NAV be maintained.

Interest Manifested Here.

Post Office Department officials here
are extremely interested in the report
that government bonds for probab bly,
the first time in history have sold at
figure so far from par. but are inclined
to doubt that there is anything omi-
nous in the figures from New York.
Postmaster General Hitchcock is In
Boston today, where he went to cast
his vote. and Theodore L. Weed. chief
clerk of the department and at the
head of the postal banks, Is Ill at his
home.
other officials of the department give
the impression that while they could
readily see the figures at which bonds
are reported sold in New York are
distinctly uncomplimentary to the new
postal bank securities, they are in
cIined to believe that there is no great
Importance attached to the reported
sales.

May Be an Experiment.

In the first place. said an official to-
day. ''the issue of bonds of July
amounted 10 $4,000, and of this $4,000
were in registered bonds, showing that
the people who bought them preferred
to keep them for the safe and sure 21a
per cent interest they bear, and did not
buy them tor speculation. There cannot
he much sale of bonds in New York, for
the remaining $1,000 is scattered all over
the country 1t might readily turn out
that only two bonds of hundred dollars
apiece have been sold. 1t also might de-
yelop that the issue of January 1, 1912.
which was announced few days ago. In
duced some one to make an experiment
with a small sale.
AT any rate. as it appears now, the
