= New York, July rs. The announce.
ment on the stock exchange late Friday
OF the suspension of the firms Of Talbot
J. Taylor q Co. and of w. L. Stow &
Co. was the sequel to period Of excited
selling of stocks and wide cuts in prices
which has not been equaled before since
the present movement to liquidate set
in. There is nothing in either failure
that can be traced to business or indus
trial conditions outside the exchange,
the case lying close to diagnosis of,
speculative collapse. Both firms have
been largely concerned in speculative
stock market pools, formed for the pur-
pose Of taking on line of stocks, sus-,
tanning their price, by supporting orders,
real or manipulative. and seeking ito
realize profits by selling out to outsiders
at the high prices. Such operations
have suffered from increasing difficulties
with the growth In the stringency OF
money, the solicitude Of bankers oyer
loans employeyed in such projects, and
the jaded appetite of the public for Sc
curities. 8t
The operations Of the firm Of W. L.
Stow & Co. were on large scale in Mex
lean Central. and the difficulties which
have accumulated upon them are UNDER

against his order than the crime OF forgery,
for which he was sentenced to FIVE years
imprisonment.
Since his release his family has refused
to nave anything to do with him. His
father, the marquis Of Abergavenny, amid
many family trials, has never had to endure
a greater blow to his pride than this per-
petuation of the disgrace incurred by his
son.
Lord William lives quietly with his wife,
but has not been about for the last sin
months. At one lime he was the prince OF
Wales f~avorite and model among the young
men Of London. His marriage with Miss
Murietta, then esteemed one OF the wealth,
lest English heiresses, was arranged by the
prince himself, Lord William and his wife
have always been remarkably devoted to
each other. Unlike other married couples
in the circles in which they have moved,
they invariably were seen together. Want
OF money prompted the writing Of the
book, combined with a desire to get even
with the Judge who sentenced him, Justice
Lawrence.
Lord William thinks his character Is
completely restored by this publication, but
the public impression is that the audacity
and moral obliquity which made the book
possible show him to be quite as black as
he has been painted.

she has told the truth or not
