The issue consists' of $35,000,000 two-year four per cent. bonds and $50,000,000 twenty-year four and a half per cent. bonds. The public offering will be made at an early date. The proceeds will go towards re- tiring an issue of $107,000,000 bonds, which fall due in Canada on November 1st, the minister being in a position to reduce his outstanding indebtedness by upwards of twenty million dollars. The four per cent. and four and a half per cent. bonds under sale are replacing securities bearing Interest of 51 per cent. As only $50,000,000 will be in the form of Canadian payment bonds, into which holders of maturing Vie- tory bonds are likely to idvest their principal, it is apparent that the new issue will not be sufficient to allow for the investment of the pro- ceeds of the whole Apparently, the remaining funds must be invested in existing issues, * which have become scarce during the last few weeks.
