questioned as To the business methods
Of brokerage houses. Mr. Untermyer
asked him as TO the practice of brok-
ers collecting interest on stock carried
for customers. He got the witness to
testify that it was the custom of brok-
ers TO take the stock of customer,
lend it out and continue TO take the
interest from the customer.
Then you loan out the securities and
keep on charging the customer interest
on the stock just as if it was there
he asked.
Yes. But the customer expects that.
He accepts that as one Of the customs
of the business" said Mr. Wollman.
Mr. Wollman said he believed the
elimination of short selling and
manipulation would be harmful. He
thought speculation was good
thing"
Mr.. WOllman surprised the commit
tee by admitting that 90 per cent Of the
transactions on the Stock Exchange
represented margin purchases. He said
that rarely was more than 10 or II per
cent paid down on stocks purchased.
The banks usually lend on 20 per cent
margin, he said. I'm answer to ques-
lions by Mr.. Untermyer Mr.. Wollman
said that his firm had an arrangement
with its customers whereby the brokers
were allowed 10 use the stocks placed
with them.

"BRICKS WITHOUT STRAW"
Is Chamberlin INDICATED?
Why Grand Trunk Suspended Construction New England


Street Journal, Wednesday, January 22nd:
When President Chamberlin the Grand Trunk
suspended the obstruction of the Providence line
he said ITO be frank, the difficulty is to raise
money Mr.. FitZHugF used all the money that we
received from the sale of bonds and we could not
seem to get any during the state OF apprefen-
sion that exists in the money market over the I'M
certainty of what the Balkan war may lead to-
The money markets have now improved There
is a Iessenng i'm the financial tension in London ana
the bankers ventured last week to offer at "a the
Grand Trunk Pacific 40 branch line loans of t479,-
800.
The public subscribed to fl3O, OOO or less than
$3.50 600 and the underwriting bankers were
landed with about three -fOurths or exactly 1870 or
the loan.
This, of course, holds up the Grand Trunk cred
it until the London markets are more pr0pltiouS.
President ChamberIin is now indicated in his
declaration that money, and nothing else, caused
the cessation of the Grand Trunk construction in
New Eng land
The Grand Trunk people say today, as they
have said since the stOppage OF the work. tnat
that when they raise the money they Will build
into Providence.
Perhaps New England people will some time
be able to answer the question whether the
proper Way to raise money for railroad COnStruC-
ton in New England is to get New York grand
iury to indiCt London bankers, Canadian railroad
officials, and the New England railroad system,
because work has stopped as the money gave out.
Spending money you did not have used to be con-
sidered the crime. But. according to justice as
now dispensed from Washington, through New
York. for New England, the Egyptians must con-
tinue to make bricks after the straw has been
used up.
