Stock which the depositor has not bought through the Post Office Savings Bank can be deposited by means of a stock account-book. The process is thus: the Post Office Savings Bank buys the stock sent and enters it to the credit of the sender, upon which the resale to him is gone through and the stock entered in the usual way in the stocks account-book. In such cases the purchase and sale in respect of stock of the same kind takes place at the same market price, so that there is no loss to the depositor, merely costing for the purchase on account the fixed commission of 2 per thousand. Depositors have, with a view to the taking over of such stock to send it at their own cost to the Post Office Savings Bank, joining with it a request in which the stock to be taken over is described, the deposit-book being sent (either lottery or stock account-book). * * * * * The Post Office Savings Bank undertakes to present at the Treasury of the Public Debt, the bonds bought on account of depositors in order that they may be stamped with the names of the holders. This can be done at the request of the purchaser immediately after purchase of the bonds refered to in which case the stamp duty will be accounted for at the same time as the costs of purchase, or, the stamping of the bonds can be requested which according to the stock account-book are already in the Post Office Savings Bank. In the last case the duty which including the cost of the form used amounts to 40 kreutzers a stamp is to be forwarded in postage stamps enclosed with form N^o 22. In every case the request must contain the exact name of the holder and further information as to where he wishes to take the interest, otherwise it will be understood that it is to be received at the Public Debt Treasury. After the stamping has occurred, which, according to rule must take place within 3 or 4 weeks, the Post Office Savings Banks forwards the stamped bonds to the address given before the business was entered on. If an account of the interest due has to be prepared it is forwarded to the holder by the Treasury of the Public Debt. * * * * * The coupons of the Bonds deposited as per stock account-book will, when they fall due, be detached and cashed, and upon the day of their falling due entered both in the stock account-books of the holders without their having in each particular case to give notice. With reference to these sums coupon-orders will be issued to the depositor on the ground of which they can receive payment of them at any Receiving Office, on the amount being entered in their deposit-book before the expiration of the two months during which the orders are valid. After this the entry can only take place by sending the deposit-book to the Post Office Savings Bank at Vienna.
