Wall Street Bond Hold-Up Threat From Morgan
A Washington dispatch reports J P Morgan leading a bond syndicate to demand purchase of all government bonds at about 105 percent. Banks back the scheme offering $120,000 at a premium, while New York brokers eye a tight hold on the market as Carlisle and Olney rush to the White House. The World editorial calls the plan a cold blooded financial scheme aimed at cornering the bonds and forcing government terms.
