TRY TO BREAK MARKET.

The cause of the assignment is not
likely TO be known accurately until
a report has been made by the as
signee. John ". Rhoades, formerly
the cashier of the firm in the Broad
street office.
Pending the publication OF that
report many theories have been ad-
vanced to account for the collapse
The one most generally credited is
that the firm, which recently has been
most active in endeayoring to de-
preeiate prices, found itself on Fri
day lacking about 100000 shares of
stock which IL had sold. In the tech
nical language of Wall street, IL was
short" that number of shares.
In an effort To depress quotations
and so get out of the difficulty they
were in without any great loss, the
members of the firm decided. ii is
believed, 10 try TO upset the market.
The alleged plan was to throw
hundreds of thousands of shares OF
stock backward and forward across
the floor of the exchange, buying and
selling. always. however. with an eye
to the downward trend.
