LONDON BANK CHANGE
Said to Have Unloaded on Wall
Street to Collect Loans.

London, March, 2s.-Tbe financial
expert of the Daily Mail has written
a story of the recent financial crisis,
which, be says, is accepted In reli-
able quarters.
Zone of our big banks" the writ
er says, 'had lent a huge sum to one
Of the American magnstes, the secur-
ity being mainly Union Pacific The
bank decided this loan should be re-
paid, but on meeting with refusal, 1t
resolved to liquidste the securities by
selling tbeUpion PariBc shares In
its possession. An attempt to get rid
Of them in large blocks on the other
side of the Atlantic by pirate begot-
iations failed, and consequently a
very large quantity was put upon
the market. Those knowing these
circumstances formed the natural
conclusion that trouble would ensus
and sold other seurities. The result
ant fall In prices and the AlI-round
collapse caused many difficulties
among stock exchange firms, inelud
ing one OF The highest standing. In
the case, however, the count was
taken over By big Anglo-American
house with the assistance of ali that Is
