among stocks in which the house had
been hard hit.

severe drop, and during the remainder
of the day rallied only little.

terday that the tangle IL Ryan's af-
fairs had had some connection with

issued early in the afternoon the firm
declared that the Ryan account had
been satisfactorily adjusted and had no
connection with the failure.
The three creditors who filed the in
voluntary petition in bankruptcy against
the firm were Henry II. Cone, II. s.
