“ Secretary of the Treasury Snyder announced today that the cash offering of 2% percent
Treasury Bonds of 1958, on which the books were opened for subscription on Monday, June 16,
was oversubscribed by more than three times. Subscriptions from nonbank investors alone
exceeded the amount of the offering, which was $3V& billion, or thereabouts; and were so large

commercial banks.

nonbank investors totaled $3,642,000,000. In accordance with the announcement of the offering,
these subscriptions will be allotted in full, and commercial banks will be allotted up to $100,000
each. The total of the new issue will approximate $4,249,000,000, divided as follows:
