HOLD YOUR VICTORY BONDS. It would 'only be natural were those people who invested in Victory Bonds, and who still hold them, a little uneasy over the present situa- tion. Even during the period of government control there was a 'cer- tain amount of dissatisfaction be- cause the prices dropped a few points below par. Those who bought Victory Bonds expected that' they would at any fime be able to sell them at their face value, and are now wondering why there should be so substantial a drop in prices when the control is removed and trading in the open market commenced. During the first three days of open trading a slump in prices occurred and it is predicted that for a short time the, figure may go even lower. In the face of such a condition, the statements of Sir Henry Dray- ton, minister of finance, and Presi- dent E. Gordon Wills, "of the Toronto Stock Exchange, will have a reassuring influence. Sir Henry Drayton, in a speech to the London Rotary Club, asserted emphatically that the drop In price was tem- porary, and was only to be expected. He predicted that in a very short time, as soon as market and finan- cial conditions became more stable, the bonds would not ouly return to par value, but would sell at a pre- mium.
