Says Liberty Bonds
Being Gathered Up
By Capitalists Of u. S.
BY Universal Service.

San Francisco, April l0.-"Liberty
bonds are gradually being gathered
up by the capitalists and in few
years will be out of the hands of the
people at large, although the gov
eminent made every effort to dis
tribute them as widely as possible. :"
Governor James X. Lynch of the
San Francisco Federal Reserve
bank, made this statement in ex-
planning that prices quoted here for
Liberty bonds are no larger than
those in New York and bond deal
ers in the east would not profit by
sending bonds here to be sold. The
reason the quotations here seem
larger is that they cover undetached
coupons. Many persons here have
sold their bonds without detaching
the interest certificates. Where the
certificates have been taken off the
price is the same as in New York.
Bonds are steadily going up"
Governor Lynch said, "and every
holder of bonds should realize that
he is making money by holding
what he has"
