express guaranty of payment by an incorporated bank or trust

Immediately after the closing hour, tenders w ill be opened at
the Federal Reserve Banks and Branches, follow ing which public
announcement will be made by the Treasury Department of the
amount and price range of accepted bids. Only those submitting
competitive tenders will be advised of the acceptance or rejection

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 each issue for $500,000 or
less without stated price from any one bidder w ill be accepted in

and the issue price of the new bills.
Under Sections 4 5 4 (b ) and 1221(5) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1954, the amount of discount at which bills issued here­
under are sold is considered to accrue when the bills are sold,
redeemed or otherwise disposed of, and the bills are excluded from
consideration as capital assets. Accordingly, the owner of Treasury
bills (other than life insurance companies) issued hereunder must
include in his income tax return, as ordinary gain or loss, the
difference between the price paid for the 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.

Banking institutions and dealers who make primary markets
in Government securities and report daily to the Federal Reserve
Bank of N ew York their positions with respect to Government
