the suspension were for account of either
transactions made before the decision to
default or for account of institutions
which had been carrying loans for the

made to avert further forced liquidation
in stocks, and it is to be remembered that
a large short interest exists which may
be glad to cover on any depression which
might be brought about by selling by
weak persons influenced by sensational
stories appearing in this mornings news
papers. It is the usual course OF credi-
tors of embarrassed parties to husband
their collateral as much as possible.
