TREASURY’ S CURRENT ADVANCE REFUNDING
Preliminary Figures on Subscriptions

To All Banking Institutions, and Others Concerned,
in the Second Federal Reserve D istrict:

The following statement was made public today by the Treasury Department:
The Treasury Department today announced that, based upon reports received at the
close of business Thursday, March 1, holders of about $4 billion of the outstanding publicly
held bonds included in the Department’s latest advance refunding operation have exchanged
their holdings for 3x/2 percent and 4 percent bonds. Subscription books for the offering
were open from February 19 to 21, but subscriptions from individuals and trustees were
also accepted through February 28. All subscriptions have not yet been reported to the
Treasury because of the large number of securities involved in the refunding.
Preliminary reports from the Federal Reserve Banks show that total subscriptions
(including $1,001 million from Government Investment Accounts) amounted to $5,074
million. These subscriptions will be allotted in full. Delivery of the new 4 percent bonds
will be made on March 9, 1962, and delivery of the new 3% percent bonds will be made on
March 16, 1962.
Subscriptions are as follows (in millions of dollars) :
