BEARS IN A BAD FIX.
Two Wall Street Firms Said to Be
Embarrassed.
Steady Rise in Stocks Has Wiped
Out Margins.
Reported to Have Cabled ON Friends
for Assistance.

The miniature boom In the stock mar.
ket since Wall street operators made
up their minds that the new Tariff bill
would become law. has entailed heavy
losses in uarters where the bearish feel
ing on securities was rampant
As is usually the case in a rising mar
ket. the dyed-in-the-woo bears have
contested the upward movement inch
by inch. The result Is that margins
have been wiped out. and rumors OF
failures are ripe.
This morning the names of two Wal
street firms were mentioned. and ar
announcement of failures would have
occasioned little surprise.
1t is understood that the firms In ques
tion have called upon their friends fol
assistance. and that they may be able &c
pull through after all.
