The Comptroller Of the Currency received
notice yesterday of the failure of the Penn
Yam Bank, and appointed E. G. Graham,
bank examiner, as Temporary receiver. The
bank had deposits OF more than 100000.
Bad management is said to be the cause
of the failure.

London sold between 30, coo and 40 900
shares of Americans yesterday. Money was
tight, ranging between Z and 10 per cent
for call loans. The bears were aggressive
at the opening. The people who have been
buying stocks were forced to turn sellers
on account of exhausted margins and heavy
losses. Considering all these matters, the
CONSERVATION over the bank statement in
many quarters, and the renewed fear over
the Transyaal situation, it was to be eX-
pected that yesterdays opening prices would
show heavy declines over the closing prices
of Saturday. The market opened l to
points off, and during the first half-hour of
the day declined steadily In most cases
the prices reached in this initial decline
were the lowest of the day. Some improve
ment owing TO covering of shorts then de-
yeloped, but il cannot be said that the mar
ket was strong until the last hour of the
day. A squirt from 2 to 8 o'clock regained
a large part of the loss of the morning. and
many stocks closed higher than they did
on Saturday. The extent of the damage
done TO the public by this decline is great.
The grangers were of 10 points from the
prices of three weeks ago at the low level
Yesterday. Many of the other railway
shares that have been bought by the general
public have suffered as much. 1t is also
discovered TO have been the fact that there
were heavy outside holdings in such stocks
as the traction issues, which are off 10 to 20
points recently, and % to so points from
their high levels.
The question il it is yet time to buy stocks
is being answered as usual in both ways
One cheerful item in the situation is the
fact that the banks are likely to issue more
bank notes against their holdings OF bonds
this week. Enquiry at the Treasury De-
partment yesterday elected the information
that the banks could increase their circu-
lation close to $30,000 coo by issuing notes
TO the legal limit. The Chase Bank yes
terday issued 100000 and the Hanover
Bank s9G,000 and IL is said that others will
follow their lead today. This would of
course, Immediately relieve the situation
by giving the banks exactly so much ad-
ditional cash TO their credit and allowing
them to increase their loans The first
October interest payments, amounting to
nearly $4,000, zoo, were made yesterday, and
this also will have an immediate effect
in easing the situation. The outlook Is at
