new j. 5. BOND
ISSUES Due
IN MARCH
BY HARRY GUSACK
Financial Editor

Short-term securities will probably
be issued by the Treasury Depart
1nent in its half-bilhon dollar refund
Ing plan due March rs. it was
learned at the Treasury Department
today.
Treasury officials have already
started a survey of the bond market
preliminary to fixing the interest
rate on the new securities, and 1t is
anticipated that the new issue will
be lower than the last Government
issues at Az per cent. neceSsitated
by the rapid rise of money costs as
the result of the large volume OF
credit absorbed in the speculative
market. Indications pointed to a
Asomewhat lower rate than on the
certificates to be retired in view OF
present conditions
The March maturities will be off.
set by the collection Of considerably
over $500. 900 900 in income and cor
poration taxes as the initial pay
mellt on the business and individual
profits of 1928. In order to furnish
the Government it's cash require
nents up to June 80, date OF the
second instaIlment of taxes. 1t will
be necessary to issue the new Sc.
curities.
The large number Of certificates
hmaturing this year is direct re-
suit of the higher interest rates fol
lowing speculative activity, accord
ing to officials. During the past
Is months the Government has is
sued no long-term bonds, with one
exception, that in connection Nith
the funding of one of the liberty
bond blocks.
Higher interest rates brought
about the. preponderance of short
term certificates. Secretary Mellon
ordered issues of nine and twelve
months duration in the hope OF re-
funding them at maturity by securi-
! ties bringing lower rates. Prior to
1927 the Government was paying
less than A per cent for its money,
but since that time interest rates
have been growing steadily higher.
The Treasury took the attitude
that it should not eTaSeavor to. bor-
row at rates substantially lower
than those prevailing by commerce
and industry. A statement to that
effect preceded by some days the
announcement of a recent bond
issue by the Treasury. which was
at q rate of considerably over Az
per cent, a higher price than was
paid for money even during the
war.
