At 95 with average life of 12
years yield to redemption exceeda 44.
While not in a position to estimate local
possibilities I am advised that the
proposed price seems unduly favourable

in price of War Loan and possibility that
conversion of 44 loan here may lead to
further general lowering of rates.
In circumstances
Neonsider
consider best
course will be to wait for the present

unless bank are prepared to improve further
on their offer.
