Look For 2 More Loan Issues
While tlie average person is think
ing of cne more big government bond
issue,there'-are bankers in Wall Street
who rather expect to see at least two
more of these flotations, basing tlrelr
op!ni?A on the belief that the govern
ment w'li need all of the $10,000,000
COO. which Secrotary of the Treasury
< G|ass> has already repuested, and that
j it will be Impracticable to attempt to
! raise this ttuge sum irt one offering. If
I a Victory-Liberty Loan of. say $6,000.
* OOO.OQCO which is the amount generally
-xpected, is floated in April or May.
these bankers believe another for at
east $4,000,000,000 will be offered in
the Fall. * -
The .laraest .of the Liberty Loans
thus far subscribed to attracted res
jc rises of $6989,047,000 last October.
! At the present time, considering the
: hipending tax payments and the fear
' that the public will not subscribe as
j enthusiastically now that the war is
practically over, there is some doubt
as to whether such a total could again
be realized in a single operation. Ban
kers are quite certain no such sum as
',''19,900,009,000 could be raised in one
offering and Secretary Glass has speci
fically stated that he has no present
'ntention of making the next loan for
any such figure. The secretary while
saying nothing positively has used the
figure $6,000,000,000 several times- hi
casual conversation, the report says.
