MORE BROKERS' !
DUE FOR CRASH,
SAYS OFFICIAL
U. S. Comptroller Sees No
Sign of Financial Unsteadi-
ness in Failures.
BY WEBSTER X. NOLAN.
International News Service.

Failure of a number of New York
brokerage houses and other bank
ing concerns throughout the country
within the past fortnight is not
indicative of unsteadiness in the
banking system nor is II a sign Of
financial depression, ID. r. Girls.
singer. Comptroller of the Currency.
last night informed the international
News Service.
On the contrary, Crissinger said
the forcing to the wall of certain
brokerage concerns and in fewer
instances OF banking houses is a
marked sign of the growing
stability of the financial system. be-
cause the system Is throwing out
the chaff.
There will be in all probability
more brokerage failures, CrissinSer
said. The clearing out of such
houses will have a steadying effect,
rather than a depressing one, he
added.
The concerns crashed, he said,
because they had operated at too
fast pace and had failed to
gauge correctly the postwar condi-
ton Of frozen credits. which bank
ers knew must follow in the wake
OF the then prevailing easy
money" days.
The rapid succession in which
the New York houses collapsed. he
attributed to the probable condition
Of one or two concerns and the
sudden loss Of faith in the others.
with a sudden withdrawal OF pa
tronage, similar TO run on

Crissinger's warning against mis-.
INTERPRETATION Of occasional failures
of banking and brokerage institu'
tons was accompanied with the
statement an abiding faith In the
financial system OF the country and
its banks is not only wholly war
ranted but imperative.
