The Important part of the "public"
In the market consists of those men
of wealth who have ample funds with
which to engage In large speculative
committments. There re few of these,

merely "staying out." Ths eollaus In

noiaers or securities wer. under the
necessity of disposing of soms of the
holdings.- Nor Is the amount of money

tomers msn in one of the largeat
houaea In 'the street said the other day
that whereaa In tha old daya he could
count upon 1500,000 from a few of hi
euatomers to be used- for buying stocks
at thla time of the fear, tha amount

ln the meantime funds of the bank

during the past week showed .a per
