TREASURY DEPARTM ENT
W ashington

The Treasury Department, by this public notice, invites tenders for $1,500,000,000, or thereabouts, of 91-day Treasury
bills, for cash and in exchange for Treasury bills maturing November 5, 1953, in the amount of $1,500,309,000, to be issued on
a discount basis under competitive and non-competitive bidding as hereinafter provided. The bills of this series will be dated
November 5, 1953, and will mature February 4, 1954, when the face amount will be payable without interest. They will be
issued in bearer form only, and in denominations of $1,000, $5,000, $10,000, $100,000, $500,000, and $1,000,000 (maturity value).
Tenders will be received at Federal Reserve Banks and Branches up to the closing hour, two o ’clock p.m., Eastern
Standard time, Friday, October 30, 1953. Tenders will not be received at the Treasury Department, Washington.
Each tender must be for an even multiple of $1,000, and in the case of competitive tenders the price offered must be expressed
on the basis of 100, with not more than three decimals, e. g., 99.925. Fractions may not be used. It is urged that tenders be
made on the printed forms and forwarded in the special envelopes which will be supplied by Federal Reserve Banks or
Branches on application therefor.
Others than banking institutions will not be permitted to submit tenders except for their own account. Tenders will be
received without deposit from incorporated banks and trust companies and from responsible and recognized dealers in invest­
ment securities. Tenders from others must be accompanied by payment of 2 percent of the face amount of Treasury bills
applied for, unless the tenders are accompanied by an express guaranty of payment by an incorporated bank or trust company.
Immediately after the closing hour, tenders will be opened at the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, following which
public announcement will be made by the Treasury Department of the amount and price range of accepted bids. Those
submitting tenders will be advised of the acceptance or rejection thereof. The Secretary of the Treasury expressly reserves
the right to accept or reject any or all tenders, in whole or in part, and his action in any such respect shall be final. Subject
to these reservations, non-competitive tenders for $200,000 or less without stated price from any one bidder will be accepted
in full at the average price (in three decimals) of accepted competitive bids. Settlement for accepted tenders in accordance
with the bids must be made or completed at the Federal Reserve Bank on November 5, 1953, in cash or other immediately
available funds or in a like face amount of Treasury bills maturing November 5, 1953. Cash and exchange tenders will receive
equal treatment. Cash adjustments will be made for differences between the par value of maturing bills accepted in exchange
and the issue price of the new bills.
The income derived from Treasury bills, whether interest or gain from the sale or other disposition of the bills, shall not
have any exemption, as such, and loss from the sale or other disposition of Treasury bills shall not have any special treat­
ment, as such, under the Internal Revenue Code, or laws amendatory or supplementary thereto. The bills shall be subject
to estate, inheritance, gift, or other excise taxes, whether Federal or State, but shall be exempt from all taxation now or here­
after imposed on the principal or interest thereof by any State, or any of the possessions of the United States, or by any local
taxing authority. For purposes of taxation the amount of discount at which Treasury bills are originally sold by the United
States shall be considered to be interest. Under Sections 42 and 117 (a )(1 ) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended by
Section 115 of the Revenue A ct of 1941, the amount of discount at which bills issued hereunder are sold shall not be considered
to accrue until such bills shall be sold, redeemed or otherwise disposed of, and such bills are excluded from consideration as
capital assets. Accordingly, the owner of Treasury bills (other than life insurance companies) issued hereunder need include
in his income tax return only the difference between the price paid for such bills, whether on original issue or on subsequent
purchase, and the amount actually received either upon sale or redemption at maturity during the taxable year for which the
return is made, as ordinary gain or loss.
Treasury Department Circular No. 418, as amended, and this notice, prescribe the terms of the Treasury bills and govern
the conditions of their issue. Copies of the circular may be obtained from any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch.

This Bank will receive tenders up to 2 p.m., Eastern Standard time, Friday, October 30, 1953, at the Securities
Department o f its Head Office and at its Buffalo Branch. Please use the form on the reverse side o f this circular to
submit a tender, and return it in an envelope marked “ Tender fo r Treasury Bills.” Tenders may be submitted by tele­
graph, subject to written confirmation; they may not be submitted by telephone. Payment f o r the Treasury bills
cannot be made by credit through the Treasury T ax and Loan Account. Settlement must be made in cash or other
immediately available funds or in maturing Treasury bills.
