All that is necessary is to hold all bonds. The market price is partly manipulation and partly a result of excessive selling by persons who may be ignorant or too hard pressed. But the market price need have noth ins tu do with any bond-holder.

Similarly the only con corn oi a bond-holder is to collect the coupons and the bond in full when due. i'he price might sag to nothing, but that means nothing if the owner does not sell, ihe United States is a strong bridge that will carry the bond across to maturity, exactly on the level and without regard to the depth of the chasm that is crossed. i The federal reserve board reports that there has been "a hesitation if not an actual recessit m in " ' i „ dancing the trot has superseded the hesitation—-SO let it be with onVn ».n cession. p. ice . e "Beans should be used frequent ly," says an item in a household ' umn, and the young- bride write; to ask how frequently she si the same bean.
