THE GUARANTY FUND BANK
Washington. March 28.—The twelve
Federal Reserve Banks today over-
subscribed on twenty-tour hours’ no.
tjee a ninety-day loan to the Govern-
ment of S50.00U.0UO at. the rate of 2
per cent a year.
The money was borrowed on ninety-
day treasury certificates of indebted-
ness to help tide over the Government
until June, when the great stream of
income and internal revenue taxes will
flow i'ntp the treasury. An additional
! £50.000,000. it was announced, may be
' borrowed in the same manner before
| the close of the fiscal year.
Temporary financing of the Govern-
ment in this mannoB was made nec-
essary by the depleted condition of
the balance in the general fund of the
j treasury, reduced to approximately
j >5ihd00.000 and facing a further redue-
| t on Of s25.000.000 .Saturday when
j the^ Government will issue a war-
j rant for that amount in payment for
I the .Danish West Indies,
j The is.me of certificate.' of indebt-
edness to run not-longer than one
year ami to bear interest at a rate
not exceeding 2. iter cent has been
authorized by Congress up to $800.-
000.000 and today s issue is the first
to be made under thie authorization.
In addition, Secretary McAdoo has au-
thority to issue $470,000,000 in bonds
for \arious purposes, including the
Panama Canal bonds to reimburse the
Dea-urv for the amount paid out of
| ordinary receipts for the-construction
!<•!' this canal. Mr. McAdoo is undcr-
| ,-tood to have the issuance of bonds
under consideration.
.-The quick subscription to the $60,-
000.000 of certificates by Federal Re-
serve Bunks alone without reference
to any of'the member banks of the
Federal reserve system, with their
billions of dollars of resources, at a
late of interest 1 per cent lower than
the rate authorized., is viewed by of-
1 :eiais ; a -Biking demonstration of
the,. :i. jlent condition of financial
preu: i <lneas of the Nation’s finan-
cial system' for any events that the
future may hoJd.^
A statement of the allotments to
the subscribing banks will rbe given

pleted.
