RUNAWAY SPECULATION
Continued from Page One)

by calling the attention of all stock ex-
against speculations already in force.
Stories Of Fabulous Riches
For more than a week the banks have
been somewhat uneasy over the condi-
ton of the market. For some time past
Wall Street has appeared as the pot of
gold at the end of the rainbow which
stretched over the entire country. Tales
of fabulous riches to be made in stock
market gambling have made the financial
section the Mecca of a horde Of specu-
lators.
Typical of this is the story of man
who came to Wall Street four or five
months ago with less than $1,000 and today
is worth more than 100000. OF the man
who lost there is no story hold, yet the
records of brokers' offices show that he
is in the great majority.
Where Speculation 10
Speculation has been confined chiefly
to the stocks of certain companies which

Bethlehem Steel stands at the top Of
the speculative list. Last year it sold IS
low as a fraction above e. Today 4,
touched 400. Crucible Steel. selling today
at 10S. was sold for about third of this
five months ago.
To discourage speculation many finan-
cial houses within the past week have
cut in half the sums they had advanced
on certain war specialties and thrown our
others altogether. For weeks past there
have been frequent additions to the
string of conservative brokers who have
refused to buy war stocks for their cli-
ents. In addition there are many more
brokers who will trade In such stocks
only for cash.
