FIND STOCKS HYPOIHECATED
New York Brokers Deny that Ques.
tionable Practices Are Common.
Stock Exchange viii Take Action
Following Developments la
Mcintyre Case.

New York. May THE statement
made by Thomas A. Mcintyre. of the firm
Of T. A. Mcintyre & Co, now in a re-
ceiver's hands, that it was the general
practice among brokers to put up as col
lateral for loans securities sent in to a
firm for transfer purposes or deposited
in trust, has aroused the stock exchange
authorities, and may lead to an investi-
cation as to how far this practice OBJ
tains.
It was denied very vigorously in the
Wall street district to-day that such a
practice obtained at all. The opinion
was expressed also BY reputable brokers
that If any such cases were discovered
they should be summsrily dealt with,
even to the extent of being deprived Of
a stock exchange membership.
Interest in Mr.. McIntyre's statement
was increased to-day when it became
known that the investigation into the af
fairs OF the firm of Coster, Knapp &
Co, the firm which failed. after Charles
Coster killed himself last week. had dis
closed that that firm. too. had hypothe-
Gated securities deposited with the firm
by customers for other than marginal
transactions. The liabilities of that firm
amounted. it is now believed, TO at least
s., 200, ,O00, and included among the cred
itors are some who are looking for stocks
put up in that manner. just as in the
case OF the Mcintyre firm
That the stock exchange intends to take
action In the matter was indicated to-
day by a statement made by George W
Ely. secretary Of the exchange. in which
he said that It was the purpose of the
exchange TO make an investigation of
these failures as soon as it would be
practicable. Mr.. Ely, in common with
other well-known members Of the stock
exchange, took occasion to deny in most
emphatic terms the assertion made by
Mcintyre.
Ex-Mayor Jacob Amos. of Syracuse.
was added to-day TO the list of creditors
of the Mcintyre firm who are trying to
trace stocks owned by them and put up
by the firm for its own loans. Mr. Amos
had 100 shares Of United States Milling
on deposit with the firm.
