Item 9. The defendants should state which securities of plaintiff's were sold on orders claimed to have been given by Clinton Burns and which securities are claimed to have been sold because of plaintiff's failure to deposit additional margin. Item 12. The defendants should state whether defendants' claim that the notice given by defendants to plaintiff referred to in paragraph " Fourteenth " of the amended answer, was oral or in writing; if in writing annex a copy thereof; if oral state the substance thereof.
