The stock market, which closed strong
Monday, on heavy covering by shorts, prin-
cfpally In Southern Pacific and Union Pacific,
was weak and depressed yesterday practically

between the Keene pool in Southern Pacific and

straining the Union Pacific from voting its

put out of sensational disclosures about to be

pressing reports about the money SITUATION,
among these stories being one to the effect that
the Secretary of the Treasury would probably
call on the banks for S25 OO0OOO on account of
the Panama Canal payment, and another that
the trust companies incensed at the acton OF
the Clearing House Association in the matter OF
