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

to investor having regard to recent rise

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

to see how market conditions develop

unless bank are prepared to improve further

on their offer.
