STATEMENT BY SECRETARY MORGENTHAU
The Secretary of the Treasury gives notice that tenders are invited for Treasury bills to the amount of $50,000,000,
or thereabouts. They will be 273-day bills; and will be sold on a discount basis to the highest bidders. Tenders will be

Monday, September 20, 1937. Tenders will not be received at the Treasury Department, Washington.
The Treasury bills will be dated September 22, 1937, and will mature on June 22, 1938, and on the maturity
date the face amount will be payable without interest. They will be issued in bearer form only, and in amounts or
denominations of $1,000, $10,000, $100,000, $500,000, and $1,000,000 (maturity value).
It is urged that tenders be made on the printed forms and forwarded in the special envelopes which will be supplied
by the Federal Reserve Banks or branches upon application therefor.
No tender for an amount less than $1,000 will be considered. Each tender must be in multiples of $1,000. The
price offered must be expressed on the basis of 100, with not more than three decimal places, e. g., 99.125. Fractions
must not be used.
Tenders will be accepted without cash deposit from incorporated banks and trust companies and from responsible
and recognized dealers in investment securities. Tenders from others must be accompanied by a deposit of 10 per cent
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 for receipt of tenders on September 20, 1937, all tenders received at the
Federal Reserve Banks or branches thereof up to the closing hour will be opened and public announcement of the
acceptable prices will follow as soon as possible thereafter, probably on the following morning. The Secretary of the
Treasury expressly reserves the right to reject any or all tenders or parts of tenders, and to allot less than the amount
applied for, and his action in any such respect shall be final. Those submitting tenders will be advised of the acceptance
or rejection thereof. Payment at the price offered for Treasury bills allotted must be made at the Federal Reserve Banks
in cash or other immediately available funds on September 22, 1937, provided, however, any qualified depositary will be
permitted to make payment by credit for Treasury bills allotted to it for itself and its customers up to any amount for
which it shall be qualified in excess of existing deposits when so notified by the Federal Reserve Bank of its district.
The Treasury bills will be exempt, as to principal and interest, and any gain from the sale or other disposition
thereof will also be exempt, from all taxation, except estate and inheritance taxes. (Attention is invited to Treasury
Decision 4550, ruling that Treasury bills are not exempt from the gift tax.) No loss from the sale or other disposition
of the Treasury bills shall be allowed as a deduction, or otherwise recognized, for the purposes of any tax now or
hereafter imposed by the United States or any of its possessions.
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

Saving time"), on Monday, September 20, 1937.
