that some Of the days recovery in prices

that decision. The grave trouble with
the money markets Of a month ago was
that In the face of stationary demand for

some Of these stock-and- bond -manufac-

should have recovered. No principle Is
more firmly grounded, though none Is
at times harder to beat into Wall Streets

The market Will no doubt take heed
of the other side of the situation. Evils.
