action OF the House in passing the Dill authon<-
ing the purchase of bonds, although fnny ahuci-

Senator Sherman afiirms that the same authority
is full under existing laws will remove al appre-
tensions concerning the money market Tor the

to all incinations To manipulate money for specu-
lative purposes. and spectators in Government
bonds have learned the lesson that they cannot
make the prices at which the Treasury must pGr-
chase. With all stocks making such marked Inn
