These bonds are far above the worst, for they have touched 50 this year. They have also touched 68, as opinion about Chine in general and the salt gabelle (upon which they are secured) in particular has ebbed and flowed in the past six months. The course of the price has indeed been remarkable. Issued at 95 in 1912, in 1818 the bonds moved between C8 and 87. In 1993, when the annual drawings at par began, owners of drawn bonds were able to replace them at under 77. In 1924 the price was never above 711, and last year's movement was from 57 to 731.
