show them he is good short-card

WALL STREET GETS
SEVEREST PURGING
SINCE WAR ENDED
Under Pressure From Federal
Reserve Board, Financiers Be-
gin to Put House in Order.

New York; Nov. 12.-Under pres
sure from the federal reserve board
and other powerful financial inter
ests, Wall street adopted more vigor-
GUS measures to- put its house in
order. n.... ...
This was accomplished by further
severe impairment of quoted values,
a turnover of more than 2,500,00O
shares-the years record-and an
advance in call loans to 80 per cent
"a rate unparalleled since the panic
Of 1907. .
Altogether the cession witnessed
the most severe purging the stock
market has experienced since Wall
street entered upon its period OF
postwar prosperity.
During the decline, which began
at the outset, speculative favorites
registered losses of 10 to Is points,
their minimum quotations being 80
20 90 points below fnaximums of the
last fortnight.
There was little calling Of loans,
but only small sums were available
on cali at the opening rate of IA per
cent. while time money was scarcely
obtainable. except for short dates at
7H to 8 per cent.
Bankers Take No Action.
The local reserve bank officials,
at their meeting, took no action
looking to a further advance of the
discount rate.
Banks which specialize in loans
to brokers, stated after thesclose OF
the market that loans had under
gone very substantial reduction.
While no figures were mentioned,
it was believed that events of the
last two days had curtailed brokers
accommodations by no less than
$250,OOO,OO0.
The street" buzzed with rumors
and gossip Of the large winnings
made by prominent bear traders.
There is little doubt that the ag-
gressive tactics of that element add
ed materially to the decline. o.
Many additional stop loss
orders were caught in the days
reaction. While trading was most
active, some of the highly specula-
tive issues dropped 2 ITO points
between sales. The mechanism OF
Of the stock exchange was taxed to
greater extent than at any time
