Speculation for Crisis.

Connellsvilla Penn, Nov. @O.-WiIliam J.
Bryan in his lecture here tonight spoke on the
financial situation, expressing the belief that
most banks are sound and deposits therein
cure. He said
As to the present financial condition believe
the cause is to be found in Wall street specula-
ton. Investigations have shown the fictitious
character of of the stock and mismanage
Inent which has characterized some of the larger
corporations. When the public became aware
of the character of the stock they had been
buying they began to dispose of their holdings
and the resulting shrinkage in values affected
some OF the New York banks and trust COM
panes closely identified with speculative trans
actions. Runs these banks frightened other
depostors, and New York banks finally found
themselves unable TO return the reserves that
had been deposited by outside banks. These
outside banks, not being able to withdraw their
funds, have in some cases found ii necessary
TO limit the Withdrawals from the funds which
they had at hand. l believe the banks through
out the country for the most part perfectly
sound. and there Is no reason why the deposit
ors should he afraid to leave their money in

offensive in evening clothes than in

So while keeping our dress suits and

take special care to avoid extremes
which make an evening suit con-
