it a determined manner that he was
“going to have the money this illiic."
Young Verliii quickly dodged by hliii

was tremendously heavy selling from
such out-of’town points as l’hiladcb

The two cities first named unloaded
enormous quantities of Steel stocks.
The. decline was acccilcratctl by the
heavy short selling of cliques and by

uncovered In all the active stocks anti
as usual on an occasion of this sort
many weakly niargincd accounts were
sold out ill great. sacrifice. A canvass
among the brokers in the financial dis-

been the opinion of the banking cit»

were beyond reason. The bank stabl-
