The stock Panic.
The present decline has been mainly pro-
duced by large capitalists, who loaned freely
on stocks a few weeks ago, and who sold
out the stocks on which they loaned Immediately
after they made the loans. and whose interest il is
now to depress stocks in order that they may buy
in, at very low rates, those stocks they loaned
and sold out at high rates. Many persons quietly
suffer heavy losses arising from such unfair conduct,
because they ignorant of the fact that by de-
cison Of the Supreme Court, they can legally claim
TO be paid for stock SO hypohecated and sold, the
amount that the parties with whom it was hypothe-
Gated received at the time they sold it. When,
and TO whom, and at what price the stock may
have been thus sold, all may be easily asCertained
by an examination Of the stock ledger of the cor
poration issuing the stock, and the current prices
at the board on that day.
