1t is fairly well established now that

nothing to add to the published state
meut That they were falling OF in re-

pay the interest about to fall due on the
floating debt, had nothing whatever to do
with the application.
Another person, however, who said he
WAS familiar with the companv's affairs.
said. "While it was true falling off in
the receipts was indirectly the cause for a
receivership, yet the immediate cause
was a drop of per cent. in the quoted
price of the company's consols ana its in
ability to respond to the call for more
margin on one of its loans not due until
September 1st. The failure, however, to
put up the required margin made the
