large speculative house was responsible
to- day for circulating widely a bullish
forecast Of President Roosevelt's forth
coming message to congress. His Wash
1ngton informant pretended to give parts
of the message literally. Paragraphs
touching trusts and tariff were in quota
ton marks. This information was said
by the man who took it to the floor of
the stock exchange to have come from a
very. high source. Several Of the largest
commission houses in the street having
received corroborative information from
the same source, traders took it in good
faith and those tat had been selling
stocks short against the appearance Of
the presidents message were consider
ably upset. Some began to buy back
their stock and this helped along the
rally. The commission houses treated
the information as confidential and gave
it to their clients privately. The head Of
the large speculative house was not SO
careful. He exhibited his Washington
advices in the room.
