T he bill's o f this series will be dated May 19, 1955, and will mature August 18, 1955, when the face amount will be payable without interest. Th ey 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 not be received at the Treasury'Departm ent, W ashington. Each tender must be for an even multiple of $1,000, and in the case o f competitive tenders the price offered must be expressed on the basis o f 100, with not more than three decimals, e. g., 99.925. Fractions may not be used. It is urged that tenders be made o n the printed form s 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 ow n account. Tenders w ill 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 o f 2 percent o f the face amount o f Treasury bills applied for, unless the tenders are accompanied by an express guaranty o f payment by an incorporated bank or trust company. Immediately after the closing hour, tenders w ill be opened at the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, follow in g which public announcement will be made by the Treasury Department o f the amount and price range o f accepted bids. Those submitting tenders will be advised o f the acceptance or rejection thereof. The Secretary o f 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, noncompetitive tenders for $200,000 or less without stated price from any one bidder will be .accepted in full at the average price (in three decim als) o f accepted competitive bids. Settlement for accepted tenders in accordance with the bids must be made or completed at the Federal Reserve Bank on M ay 19, 1955, in cash or other immediately available funds or in a like face amount o f Treasury bills maturing M ay 19, 1955. Cash and exchange tenders w ill re ceive equal treatment. Cash adjustments w ill be made for differences between the par value o f maturing bills accepted in exchange and the issue price o f the new bills. Th e income derived from Treasury bills, whether interest or gain from the sale or other disposition o f the bills, does not have any exemption, as such, and loss from the sale or other disposition o f Treasury bills does not have any special treat ment, as such, under the Internal Revenue Code o f 1954. T he bills are subject to estate, inheritance, gift or other excise taxes, whether Federal or State, but are exempt from all taxation n ow or hereafter imposed on the principal or interest thereof by any State, or any o f the possessions o f the United States, or by any local taxing authority. F or purposes o f taxation the amount o f discount at which Treasury bills are originally sold by the United States is considered to be interest. Under Sections 454(b) and 1221(5) o f the Internal Revenue Code o f 1954 the amount o f discount at which bills issued hereunder are sold is not considered to accrue until such bills are sold, redeemed or otherwise disposed of, and such bills are excluded from consideration as capital assets. A ccordingly, the ow ner o f Treasury bills (other than life insurance com panies) 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, Revised, and this notice, prescribe the terms o f the Treasury bills and govern the conditions o f their issue. Copies o f the circular may be obtained from any Federal Reserve Bank or Branch. This Bank will receive tenders up to 2 p.m., Eastern Daylight Saving time, Monday, May 16, 1955, at the Securi ties Department o f its Head Office and at its Buffalo Branch. Please use the form on the reverse side of this circular to submit a tender, and return it in an envelope marked “ Tender for Treasury Bills.” Tenders may be submitted by telegraph, subject to written confirmation; they may not be submitted by telephone.
