REAL CAUSE OF THE
STRINGENCY
AH ASTORIAIf REPORTER GETS
WORD FROM, AN UNDISPUTED
AND AUTHENTIC NEW YORK
SOURCE, ON THIS SUBJECT.
"Jut why thi country, at a time
when everything seemed prosjierous,
when business wa nevep better in all
line of Industry, ihould in the short
pa of a week, be entirely turned
around, so far at money matter are
concerned, It a question which we have
all tried to reason out, and tht varied
opinion that have been offered by every
one differ very materially j to much 10,
that one cannot come any nearer to
the solution than when it first started.
However, an Aatorian reporter met a
prominent New Yorker, who wat at one
time a member of the Consolidated and
Petroleum Exchange, on Wall a'reet,
and well versed in Wall Street affairs,
who, while not expressing an opinion
a to the real cause, on account of hi
abw-nce from the storm center, kindly
showed a letter he bad jut received
from his brother, who It at tho head of
one of the most prominent brokerage
houses in New York, giving hi opinion
aa to the cause, and what happened.
Being fact from the lnide of the
ring, it will doubtlei throw some light
on the ipie-ttion, and being also, from
a prominent man In financial matters
who comet in daily contact with the
"power that be" it authenticity can
not be questioned we quoit in part:
"I have your letter asking about the
trouble in the (Wall) street. Thi is
what happened: We bad quite a de
cline due to Roosevelt's calling the pub
lic's attention to the frauds the cor
porations have been perpetrating for
years; at about the bottom C. W. Morse
unloaded hi United Copper (pool hold
ing) and Otto Heinze & Co. tried to
make biin buy back in the open market,
Ho sold United Copper to 37; Heinze
put It up to 00 Groat and Kleeburg did
the business on the curb and Heinze &
Co. could not take the stock. Both as
signed. F. Auguatu Heinze, brother
of the other one, wa President of the
Mercantile Xat'l Bank and borrowed
their money on United Cooper around
SO to protect himself. United went to
71 which it still if. The Clearing House
Committee forced him to resign also
C W. Morse to get out of .all the banks
be wat interested in, and in a week had
forced out every bank president or dir
ector who wat known to have promoted
any wild cat enterprises. Buna' ttarted
on nearly every Bank and Trust Com
pany. The Knickerbocker Trust Co.
waa allowed to bust; the Trust Com
pany stood (with outside help) a run
that lasted 12 days. It it said they paid
out $70,000,000. Quite a number of
small banks add trust companies were
forced to close. Mot of them are sol
rent but could not raise ready money or
sell their holdings. Money loaned at
150 per cent and for days was at 70
per cent. Cah is still at a premium
and so is gold (naturally).
"The examiners came down (both
State and National), and went through
all the institutions. Every one who had
broken the law and borrowed their own
institutions money for speculation or
promoting purposes was sold out and
forced to resign. There was nearly 100
of these Napoleons disposed of. IT
WAS TUB LIQUIDATION OF THESE
LOANS THAT 'MADE THE LOW
PUICIC. It was distinctly a RICH
MAN'S PANIC I do not think the pub
lio suffered much but they hollowed a
good deal aud hoarded money - which
makes things bod. f
"You can size things up from what I
have written and can understand how
things are. It is a general cleaning up
and shake down.
"J. P. Morgan is in control of every
National bank in New York and he has
forbjiddfcn any short selling, and all
margin business end everybody obeys,
If they should not, they could not bor
row any money at any rate. They keep
tab on how much everybody borrows
and you could not borrow a dollar out
aide of the Exchange to save your soul.
However, I think the worst is over now.
I hope I have answered all of your
questions and made things clear. One
trouble brought on another and the
liquidation was enormous, and every
body who did not have strong backing
waa in trouble."
The obsequies over the remains of the
late George Siverson, will be conducted
from tho Norwegian Church on Twenty
ninth street at 12 o'clock today. The
interment will be had in Greenwood
cemetory, and the boat carrying the re
mains will leave Booth's cannery at 1
o'clock p. m.
