DEPRESSED. De |
Heavy Liquidation Results
in Bad Break in Stock
Market

$.s New York. March g.. Stocks broke
badly during the day on the heavy
outpouring OF liquidation from all
quarters. There was well centered
bear attack on a number of stocks
a which have become vulnerable by the
building up OF extensive pool accounts
and manipulation in the market. The
dissatisfaction over the money out
look, the continued withdrawal of
banking reserve and the necessity of
scaling down credit accounts to keep
pace with the declining reserves were
responsible for most selling. The I'M
stable condition of stocks developed
last week aroused widespread distrust
and was the cause for sending out
calls for large additional margins on
speculative holdings. Failure to re-
spond te, these induced the throwing
over Of some holdings by commission
houses. The pounding down Of prices
by the bears had the effect of exhaust
ing margins and uncovering stop loss
orders The weight on the market
was thus increased. Lenders OF money
also exercised increasing discrimina-
ton against some Of the stocks whose
market position was distrustful when
they appeared In collateral for loans.
The liquidation continued intermit-
tently in the afternoon at an extreme
decline In Reading OF over 5 points
and in Amalgamated Copper. .Locomo-
tive. Northern Pacific and Great
