OTTAWA. May il-(CPJ-A 111186 refunding and conversion loan, amounting possibly, to $750,- 000,000, will be launched within the next few months, it was learn- ed today when notice oi a resolu- tion seeking parliamentary author- ity, wlis given by Hon. E. N. Rhod- es, Mnister of Finance. The reso-

‘iution asks authority for an issue

of a. maximum of $750,000,000 and it is understood the issue will be for o. very large portion of the maximum.

Issue Depends on Market

Tile rate of interest will depend entirely upon the market at the time _of the issue, which will be late in the summer, but it is ss- surcd that the Government will seek the lowest possible rate. ‘The general belief is that the issue will be sold to yield slightly more than four per cent.

from Aug 1, to Nov. 1, the Dom- irlion has to meet maturing obliga- tions totalling $380,000,000. This in- cludes a $60,000,000 issue payable in New York, and likely to be con- verted by an issue ‘marketed in the United, States. .
