PLANS FOR NEXT LIBERTY ISSUE
WALL STREET MORE INTER.
ESTED THAN EVER IN
THE BONDS

New York, February 11-Now that
Secretary McAdoo has announced
withouth giving any details that the
books for the next government bond
offering will be opened April 6, the
first anniversary of the entrance of
this country into the European war,
Wall street is more interested than
ever in the forthcoming loan. Natur-
ally, there is a great difference of
opinion as to whether the next Lib
Ierty Bond issue will be large or small;
whether the date of maturity will be
near by or far off; whether the inter-
est rate will be or Az per cent. If
anyone, for any reason, had to go on
record, the safest prediction would be
for Az per cent. issue, little lar
ger than the last, to run something
like ten years.
1t will be recalled that the annual
report of the Treasury issued last De-
Scember indicated that some 10000, 444,-
1000 would have to be raised by sale OF
bonds before the close of the current
fiscal year June 30. That estimate was

which is nearly four fifths of the total
income tax receipts for 1917.
These figures are reached by use OF
the fact that all incomes of more than
$2,OO0000 must pay a surtax of 60 per
cent. In addition to this there are
also the normal taxes and the excess
profits tax. Few, If any, of these
wealthy persons will have to pay an
excess profits tax, as their income al
most entirely is derived from securi-
ties of which that tax already is col
lected.

If per cent, thirty-year bond d.
clined to IS, the income return would
be less than per cent. Whereas, on
a ten-year bond selling price of IS
would offer over per cent. Thus If
the government issues ten-year bonds
instead of thirty, there will be less de-
probation in market price. Every
time there is a decline of a point the
income return on a short-term bond
grows more attractive to an investor.
In other words, investors would come
into the market and buy ten-year
bond quicker than one running thirty
years. That would mean support fofs
the news bonds, as well as the old out
standing 3hs, which might be held for
tax-exempt features.

attention was called TO the prospects
of an early year loan, the outstanding
twenty-five-year As were selling in
the open market at 1910, or on a 4.33
per cent basis. Since then there has
been a recovery in the As, but simply
on the theiry that the government
would have to raise its interest rate
on the next loan, and the outstanding
As would be convertible into the new

Following the grooves of history
comes the suggestion that the peace

The story of the palace is the his

the rise of democracy than the

Louis XIV, one of the greatest ex-

was used to declare the King Of

Here the German nation will begin

An investigation is being made to-
day to determine if the fire which
partially destroyed the tobacco and
candy warehouse of the firm of
Smith and Keffer, All South Cam
eron street, about 10 o'clock last
night. was of incendiary origin. Two
windows were broken open in the
rear, officials said to-day, and the
fire started in Il corner of the build
ing which is seldom frequented by
employees of the concern.
Officials of the Smith & Keffer
Company, tohacconists, are unable 10
assign any cause for the fire which.
about 10 O'Clock last night, caused
several thousand dollars damage in
their warehouse a. 401 South Cam-

Stock valued at $4,000 was stored
in the building. Only the energ ,'tG
