on the 81, 900 margin, the buying broker was
paying to his principal through the selling
broker, cash for his stock, but when the time
expired, the buyers principal did not appear
to take up the purchases, and the stock is
reported to be of little or no value. Two or

this default or swindle, or whatever it may
be, several thousand dollars.
