The Stamford Advocate of Saturday
evening "printed the following, the S. E
Dibble referred to being a resident of
Rewayton:
Just below the market closed yes-
terdsy. an order on ‘1‘ 1n the head-
quarters of the 08‘ 5 Stock and
Grain Combos IBoston. to the ef-
fect that no 11 stares would be ac—
cepted uatli,i;1irt‘her not re. unless ,a
3: per cent. margin was will up. The
local branch Mike 111. 8.19.1)":-
ble &1 Ga. had been 11: business on
a 1, per cent-m 5 ifor some time
past. and the until ‘11%uiring an ad-
dtionala apoi'nts frightened some of
c speculators. The notice recalled to
them the panic of April last. when
the local branch of the Rogers bucket-
shop concern required an advance of
first 3 per cent, and then of 10 per
cent. and finally refused to accept any
new business.
The resut tof yesterday‘s order was
to cause t majority of the local
speculators who were carrying stock
with the concern to close 1}out their
holdings at once. Orders to cell were
flushed in to headquarters thick our
fast. The market was very bullish and
most of the speculators closed out at
a gain. The indications were that the
stocks would go higher. but the nu.
easydoeiing caused by the additional
margin order spread among the specu-
lators.
‘ It was not until about 11:30 this
forenoon. when Manager R. M. Maser
returned from Greenwich with the
money to settle their accounts. that
the speculators breathed easily Mr.
Lossey made a statement this morn-
ing, in explanation of the 3 per cent.
margin order:
“There‘s nothing unusual about this
order." be said.
”The market he very bullish

celitfiarg‘in instead of 1 ‘per cent.
they have to pay more to
have their orders placed on the floor.
When the market Is fluctuating as at
present, It is alwaya‘mstomary to re,-

ary mar t conditibns. Where we have
been accusetined to trade en‘s ten per
cent. margin. under fluctuating mar-
ket conditions ‘we would have to put
up 15 to 20 per cent. margin. The or—
der is simply to protect ourselves.
Headquartersis required to put up a‘
greater margin and hence they look
to all their customers for an increase
in marzlm" 5
There were rumors about the streets
be to the effect that the local and the
Greenwich branch of the Boston con-
cern had been hit hard especially on

Mr. Lesser denied the truth of
these rumors and added emphatically
that his census was doing business
