Treasury Certificates Oyersubscribed

According to the Washington advices,
the new issue Of Treasury certificates Is
being absorbed so rapidly that Treas.
ury officials predicted a considerable
oversubscription. The reception given
the lowest Government rate since 1917,
although on six months maturity, the
officials said. might be expected to in
fuence the rate on longer term Dor.
rowings.
Investment in the shorter term Sc
curities, 1t was explained, enable the
placing of money over the summer which
would be available to investors for tax
paying and other purposes in the fall.
The new Government rate Is thought
to have contributed to the sharp rise
In Liberty Bonds and other securities
Of fixed interest charges.
Whether the Government has reached
the bottom rate with its last issue,
Treasury officials say, cannot be deter
mined, as the rate for each issue is
decided on the basis Of conditions pre-
vailing at the moment. 1t Is indicated,
however, that the 31a per cent rate
for shorter term certificates may be
expected to prevail through the sum-
mer. =
Commenting on the reduction in the
Bank Of England rediscount rate from
Az per cent to 4 per cent, officials de-
clared that the British rate was gov
erncd by the particular condition exist
ing abroad. No general change In the
Federal Reserve rediscount rate was In.
dicated at the Treasury.

There are some people TINT know
