On behalf of the Home Owners
Loan Corporation, Secretary Nor
genthau of the Treasury Depart
ment offered to the public today
not to exceed $3.50, 900, 900 of bonds
of the corporation.
The bonds will be in three series
of $4,000, 900 each, with maturi-
ties of two, three and four years,
respectively, and will bear interest
rates ranging from 112 to 2 per
cent. Tenders will be received at
the Federal Reserve banks and
branches up to 2 p. m, Eastern
standard time, Wednesday, Au-
gust 8, the bonds being sold to the
highest bidders.
The interest rates on the bonds
conform practically to the level of
similar maturities of Treasury
issues. These rates were con-
Sidered to be an indication that
the Treasury's September is offer
ing of probably two billion dollars
in securities, including a long
term issue, would be floated at
favorable rates. The long-term
bond issue may go at 3 per cent
or less.
