New So Per Cent Issue
To Refund British Loans
Chancellor of Exchequer An.
nounces Bonds Due 1929,
Price To BE OF

LONDON, July 5.--Sir Robert Horne,
Chancellor of the Excheauer, an
nounced in the House of Commons to-
day that he had decided to offer for
subscription an issue Of five and one
half per cent Treasury bonds, matus-
ing April /, 1929, with the price OF is
sue fixed at 81.
The prospectuses, the Chancellor
said, would be issued July II. No def
mite amount for the loan would be
specified, he added.
Sir Robert stated that the sole pur-
pose of the issue was to provide for the
redemption of maturing obligations
and to avoid undue recourse to treasury
bills and ways and means advances.
Holders of five per cent Exchequer
bonds maturing October 5, and national
wal bonds, maturing in 1922 and 1928,
the Chancellor declared would be able
TO convert them into the new issue
1t is understood the issue of the cash
loan announced by Sir Robert has for
long time been contemplated by the
Exchequer. After allowances for de-
probation and the payment of death
duties by war bonds about 1900, 000,-
600 OF obligations will mature during
the course of 1921 and early in 1922, of
States and Canada.
During the next five years England
has heavy maturing obligations. They
form the black cloud on the financial
horizon, and the government is anxious,
so far as possible, to clear away this
embarrassment.
