NEW BOND ISSUE SHORTLY.
British Officials Announce Stay in S
Per Cent Excheuuers.

LONDON. September 81. 1927 pm
omcial announcement was made today
by the British government that there
would be no further issue of exchequer
bonds paying per cent and redeem
able in 1918. but that new issue of
bonds would be shortly announced.
This decision evidently was arrived at
by reason that the sales of the above
mentioned exchequer bonds had been
decreasing lately owing to the superior
attractions furnished by treasury bills.
The rates for all treasury bills sold by
the Bank OF England now are 5h per
cent against the previous rate of 5%
per cent for six months and 6 per cent
for twelve months.
The total amount of such bills out
standing. according to last nights rev.
enue returns, exceeds 100000 ster-
ling. The reduction of the interest on
the longer rated treasury bills may
possibly be the forerunner to a reduced
bank rate.
