Renewed Liquidation by

NEW YORK. April 20.-The opening
Atlantic Coast Line was off per cent !:

and Reading, and St. Paul u; United
States Steels lost u and "a. Locomo-
tive opened strong, but soon lost y
net. Union Pacific started Y to q low
er. Tennessee Coal and Iron lost l per
cent
The market during the first hours
speculation was influenced by two fac
tors that were construed unfavorably
as to their market effect. These were
the signing of the stock tax bill by
Governor Higgins and the triple holi-
day. For some time during the first
hour more attention was paid to dis
cussion of the tax bill than to business.
Traders generally took the bear side
and offered stocks down. Some of them
repeated the cry of ''too many holidays"
as they threw over stocks for both ac-
counts This selling had effect outside
of the room and caused renewed iqui-
dation by commission houses that were
buyers on the rise.
Selling in Amalgamated Copper was
called good. A strong feature of the
market is Louisville and Nashville,
which was bought on a big scale by
Ladenburg, Thalman & Co.. supposed to
be for Richmond account; the rise in
Louisville and Nashville and buying OF
Atlantic Coast Line being based on re-
ports of information that the coast line
will put Louisville and Nashville on a
per cent basis.
Government bonds unchanged; rail-
road and ether bonds were a little off.

You are loaning hundreds of mill
lions of your deposits to stock gam
blers upon stocks and bonds at prices
which in panic can decline 20 to
10 per cent, more than those at which
you have taken them.
This will mean failure to many in

The American people are in no
mood at present to have their saw
tngs sacrificed to stock gamblers.
Therefore:
1t behooves you to heed when your
attention is called to present condi-
tions.
This is the purpose and only pur-
pose of this advertisement-that you
cannot plead ignorance when too late.
