Atj-TOtrdrtsg. fiiits. ntEPEsimii Washington, Feb. 20. Sub-normal ec onomic and business conditions, brought about by a variety of uniorseen war developments, have 'causea postpone ment of the third liberty loan uutil about April 1, or later. Originally set for February 15, it was Biatea on high authority today af ter conferences of high government heads that the issue has been held up until restoration of normal conditions shall have brought a more "receptive market." That the -loan when finally placed for sale will bear 4 -Z per cent interest appeared probable today. In tense opposition of large banking inter ests to attempt to sell from tnree to six billion of bonds, which it -is expected the loan will carry at a lower rate, was believed today to bo forcing the hand of the government. These causes brought the delay in the loan: First, the unprecedented transporta tion tieup. Producers, unable to move their products, suffered vast losses. Con gestion of commerce tended toward general money stringency. Second, fuel shortage with a five days suspension of industry and six workless Mondays. Labor suffered heav ily in loss of wages; manufacturers suf fered; all shippers suffered as the right of way was given to coal, and otner snipments laid on sidings. Third, unexpected bad weather. Two thirds of the "congregational element' according to liberty loan headquarters, was lacking during February. People stayed indoors, there was a minimum of mingling in public places. Open nir speeches and even indoor' gatherings would have been sparsely attended. Shortage of fuel accentuated this. The value of outdoor poster advertising, etc would have been of minimum effective ness. Fourth, extensive profiteering and in flated cost of bare living reduced to tho lowest ebb in years the spending power of the small consumer tho man in the street. Added to these factors, powerful ele ments in the financial world have brot pressure for a higher interest rate than on the second loan. Many nanKS nave raised their interest rate on loans se cured by liberty bonds from four to 4 1-2 per cent. Any widespread adoption of this private banking rate, it is be lieved, would absolutely force a 4 1-2 per cent rate on the third issue. Other wise purchasers borrowing funds to buy bonds would face a half percent loss on their investment. Advertising will not make you see the actual value in MODART front laced Cor sets.
