the <oney situation is such that W.
have believed it unwise for US to tie w
our funds in matters such as this. where
the time of payment of the oh,ciaton /.
rather a matter of sreculation. whe1
there is Such n tremendous dersnd>fo
funds from banks, particularly in tn.
western half OF the state. for funds witt
which to satisfy the demand Of their re
spective communities on tho seed ant
feed proposition. We are an%ticirating F..
much greater demand during the mex
five months than we v had and til,
reports from the Twin Cities and othel
eastern money centers are to the sam,
effect. Y x
We expect in due time to have tn.
Bond Department in the Bank OF Nortt
Dakota organized and in a position tt
take care of without delav. such matter.
as yours. together withS the sale o.
bonds, but until We receive a decision
from the United States supreme cour
on the validity Of our own bonds ant
a market established, we are not in {
position to take bonds, or warrants. Will

Yours very truly.
