Circular No. 1I10T
May 21. 1932 J

Discontinuance of Preliminary Notices with respect to Regular Issues
of Interest Bearing Obligations of the United States
Offered on Quarterly Tax-Payment Dates.

To all Banks, Trust Companies and Others Concerned,
in the Second Federal Reserve District:

We have been advised by the Treasury Department that the preliminary notices with
respect to regular issues of interest bearing obligations of the United States offered on
quarterly tax-payment dates are hereafter to be omitted, as it is believed that banks generally
have become familiar with the fact that Treasury offerings are made on each tax-payment
date (the 15th of March, June, September, and December), and that they are fully informed
as to the procedure to be followed in submitting applications and classifying individual subscriptions. The practice of sending preliminary notices with respect to such issues will,
therefore, be discontinued. The notices which are sent shortly before the dates of the respective issues, and which refer to the specific terms of the offerings as announced by the Treasury
Department, will, of course, be continued.
In notifying the Federal Reserve Banks that the preliminary notices with respect to such
regular issues are hereafter to be omitted, the Treasury Department stated that for any
issues of interest bearing obligations of the United States which are offered hereafter on other
than quarterly tax-payment dates the Treasury, in its discretion, may direct Federal Reserve
Banks to despatch a preliminary notice as heretofore.




GEORGE L. HARRISON,

Governor.
