served on the banking firm of Meadowcraft
Bros, informing them that P. E. Stanley,
the wsll known breller, had sued them for
$2oo.00o, the difficulty growing out of a
stock transaction. The bank, holding
street railway stock to the amount of
100000 az collateral for a loan, called
for margin when the stock broke several
points, and Stanley failing to re-
spond, it was sold, Mr. Stanley claim
ing to have lost over $200,O00 by the
transaction. Hence the suit. "We made 4
loan TO Stanley, taking his stock as collat-
eral, !" said the bank cashier. about two
weeks ago there WAS slump of six or eight
points and we called on Stanley for mar
gins. He paid no attention to tbs notice
and we sold his stock" Owing to the
prominence of all parties concerned and
ths large amount of money involved the
suit has attracted a great deal of attention
in business circles, ana brokers await the
outcome with interest, as it may throw a
new light on the powers of bankers in SINH
