I Members of the Exchange express tho
opinion that those who. have been so
extremely antagonistic to Mr.. Price do
not quite understand the precise nature
bof his contentious. 1t has been stated
and largely believed that Mr.. Price, al
though not a member of the Exchange,

kpe simply that which Is guaranteed by
the Exchange, under Its bylaws, az
they already exist, to every purchaser

There Is a feeling growing among

He said that the subject is in its very
nature so complex that the average cit
izen is rather disposed to leave what ne

mind with critical study of the ques-
ton. In fact he is disposed to trust
the matter to his banker or local imam

him the safest and most conservative
plan.
The responsibility therefore. is
whether or not we are to go on as at

form 1t. rests with the banks and
bankers of this great country and this
responsibility should not. under any
circumstance, be shirked.
