Cent Payment From Pro-:
ceeds of Previous Issue.
BY l. A. FLEMING.

Subscriptions books at Richmond
closed yesterday in the sale of the
latest issue of Treasury certificates,
series C-1921. A number of orders
from local bankers 'phoned in this
morning were rejected.
1t is likely that some banks buy
ing these certificates as duty will be
relieved of ownership through the
public demand therefor, in view Of
the indisposition on the part of men
curities with the market therefor in
it's present uneasy state.
Yesterday banks paid into the fed
eral reserve bank 20 per cent of the
funds on hand arising from the sale
of the last previous issue of Treas
ury certificates.
Local banks did not lose much cash
through this call. as they were not
large subscribers to that issue.
One of the larger banks reported
that subscriptions for customers to
that issue reached total of s1.100,000.
