LIBERTY BOND VALUES
MAY BE IMPROVED

Washington Dec. 14.--Because Of
heavy purchases Of liberty bonds, which
the secretary of the treasury must
Of the victory loan act before the end
of the present fiscal year, June 80, 1921,
indications are that there should be
further improvement in the market
value Of the various liberty issues.
Under the law, the secretary of the
treasury must purchase and retire
$3.50. 404,S6i, par value. of liberty bonds
during the current fiscal year. and
similar amount each year thereafter.
The secretary may make these pur-
chases from month to month, or he
may wait until the latter part of June
and purchased the full amount
Due to the heavy expenses which the
government has been under since the
beginning of the present fiscal year,
only about Sl5.000,00O of bonds have
been retired under the sinking fund
provision This leaves slightly more
than 1928, 900 600 of bonds to be retired
before June 30.
The expectation is that the secretary
will also apply the excess earnings OF
the federal reserve banks which will
be paid to the government as fran
chise tax early in The year 1871, to :,
bonds. This tax is expected to amount
to more than S75,000000 Under the
law the treasury must either use this
money to retire its bonds, or must APP
ply it to the good reserve, securing
United States notes Funds from this
source representing earnings OF 1913
We're used to retire liberty bonds and
belief is that the secretary will follow
the same practice this year, partlcu-
Iarly in view Of the desire Of the gov
eminent to restore the market price
of the bonds to somewhere near par,
as early as practicable. Probabilities
are therefore that the total government
purchases of bonds between now and
June 30, will be well above $500 GOO, 900,
This buying will doubtless enhance the
market value of all the outstanding
war issues
