80 10000 at 10 per cent from the group

tily the night before to stem the tide of
panic and restore confidence to the ex-
change. This offering served as effectively
to allay the excitement as wet blanket

an end to the soaring of money rates; it
furnished brokers with the means to meet
obligations upon reasonable terms. and

liquidation which. II continued. might

Today the stock market showed the

Nothing that has happened during the
present week of a disturbing chara cter
has been Indicative of genuine financial
unsoundness. Had it not been for the
improper methods of few capitalists
who had gained control of certain bank
ing institutions and were using them for
the advancement of their own schemes
there would have been no failures to
record and the stock market, always SEN
sitive in a high degree to such conditions
LIQUID not have taken its latest downward
tlunge. 1t is not at all likely that the
Westinghouse troubles would have reach
ed their acute point. Indeed, practically
everything of an untoward nature that
has happened within these past seven or
eight days may be attributed directly to
the operations of the Morse Heinze COM
bination in the manipulation of bank
stock for the purposes of copper specula-
ton And it is to be borne IN mind, as a
further sign of the genuine soundness of
affairs. that there has been up to this
time no loss of values that may not be
