FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF DALLAS F IS C A L A G E N T O F T H E U N IT E D S T A T E S Dallas, Texas, May 6, 1943 To All Banking Institutions, and Others Concerned, in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District: There is quoted below press statement issued today by the Secretary of the Treasury announcing certain changes in the procedure to be followed in bidding for Treasury Bills: “ Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau today announced a change in procedure with respect to bidding for the weekly issues of Treasury Bills, in the interest of wider distribution of these securi ties. The offering of Treasury Bills to be dated May 12, and future weekly offerings until further notice, will include a provision for the receipt of tenders for $100,000 or less from any one bidder at a fixed price of 99.905, in addition to the conventional bidding on a competitive basis. The decision to accept bids on a fixed-price basis was made in recognition of the fact that many of the smaller banks and other investors who have not been interested in competitive bidding for Treasury Bills will submit tenders at a fixed price, which assures them a return of about three-eighths of one percent on an annual basis. Subject to the usual reservation with respect to the acceptance or rejection of tenders, the Secretary plans to accept in full all tenders entered on a fixed-price basis. “ For a number of years the Treasury has ordinarily opened bids on Treasury Bills on Monday of each week, with payment the follow ing Wednesday. It has been found that with the increasing conges tion in communication facilities the two-day period is hardly suffi cient in which to notify successful bidders and obtain payment. To meet this difficulty, the Secretary announced that for thirteen weeks 92-day Treasury Bills will be offered. At the end of this cycle, Treas ury Bills will be maturing on Thursdays, and an additional day will have been provided between the opening of tenders and the payment date.” In this connection, we invite your attention to Treasury Bill Circular issued by this bank today, a copy of which is enclosed.
