HOUSECLEANING TIME IN WALL STREET
(Copyright, 1914. by C. M. Keys, New York.)
In the last week of October tire head of a big bond house In
New York was asked whether his house had done very much in
that month.
"Oh, yes," he said, "we have been very busy. We have been
housecleaning."
The phrase describes very accurately the activities of the whole
financial world during a part of September and the whole of October.
Not since the winter of 1907 has there been a period in any respect
like this period. Up to the close of business in July these great bond
houses, which do both a wholesale and retail business in bonds, had
been active. Their big organisations, embracing in a great many
cases scores of agents and salesmen throughout this country and
in Europe, had been selling in small amounts the bonds underwritten
in large amounts by the home office. There had been no particuliy*
occasion to stop the rush of work in order to attend to various other
matters of business that accumulate during the manifold activities
of such an organization.
The hanks had been loaning quite freely to all these houses In
order to enable them to carry on their bond business. There had
been nothing more than the ordinary scrutiny when such houses had
made applications for loans in large and small amounts on the
securities which they handle. When the wheels of finance ceased to
revolve the selling organizations of these houses were stopped dead.
Tn most cases salesmen were called in and in many cases they were
laid oIT, either entirely or on half-pa?', or, were given extended holi
days. The real business of the big bond houses became a series of
negotiations with the bank.? in rospect to loans, margins and other
details of the hanking- bti?:ne3s. Even in this department there was
not much activity, for th" simple reason that the banks did not ask
for additional margins, for the deposit of additional securities or
undertake to disturb immediately the positiort of these houses.
After a few weeks of almost complete inactivity, however, mat
ters began to change. In the conference* the banks that had loaned
money suggested that whenever it was possible the loans be reduced.
Therefore, the big bond houses, as well as the stock houses and all
fhe other borrowing firms and corporations in Wall Street began to
take steps to clean house. The bond people put -their salesmen back
on the road to sell bonds. They bought no new bonds, but "simply
went to work to take off the shelves, as it were, and to turn into
money, whatever they had in hand. At the same time the houses
that do a marginal business had been doing their best to get their
margins bigger. They had called upon their customers to increase
the amount of cash on deposit or to cut down the amount of stock or
bonds which they were carrying. As the customers put up addi
tional cash the dealers themselves reduced the amount of the loans
at the banks. This was true in all branches of the financial business,
but especially true in Wall Street.
The result of this tendency was a great reduction in loans during
September and October, which strengthened the banks that loan
money and helped materially to strengthen the general financial
position throughout the country. During this housecleaning time,
of course, other things received attention beside the mere matter of
the amount of loans outstanding and the sale of good securities that
were carried on the shelves of the bond houses. There was a very
careful scrutiny of all the securities in hand. In many oases prices
were marked down to figures that would be sure to make a sale pos
sible. In other cases, where dealers found themselves with securities
that could not be sold without practically destroying the solvency
of the house, arrangements were made whereby a part of this load
was shifted to somebody else. In a few cases small houses began
to prepare for a process of liquidation and to get ready to go out
of business when it, is wise to do so. It is astonishing how little
default or insolvency occurred during this period. t
What the result of such a wholesale housecleaning will be remains
to be seen. There is 110 doubt that the process has removed several
factors that were dangerous to the public. There is no doubt also
that the strong, clean institutions will be cleaner as the result of this
process. Many of them have taken substantial losses In order to
get themselves into a position where their customers need not be at
all afraid. One can hardly help but reach the conclusion that on the
whole the result of the housecleaning process will be the usual result
of such a process, namely, that the premises will be more wholesome
and in better and more hygienic condition as a result of the enforced
housecleaning.

ber 1 the balance in the general fund
was $.>,925,699.28, but a large part of
this amount was not available for the
general expenses of the Comnronwealth.
A considerable percentage of the total
represents moneys set aside by law for
s|>ecial purposes and which cannot be
drawn U'j.on fV>r general purposes.
Among such amounts this iixduiled in
the general fund are: Emergency ap

LATE WAR NEWS SUMMARY
Coutinurd Front Fir*! I'n&r.
to pieces the Belgian army and that
it has been necessary to send French
troops to the coast to assist those who
still remain to hold the line.
Turkey renewed her claims to victory
over the Russian forces, stating the in
vaders are being pushed back to Rus
sian soil. A surprise attack by the
Turks, Constantinople reports, was
made with such success that the Rus
sians were driven back toward Batuni,
losing several towns. In a battle near
Erzerum the Russians are said to have
lost 8,501) men.
Petrograd, however, reports steady
progress in the campaign against Tur
key.
Of what is happening in the' great
struggle further north between the
Russians and the Teutonic allies there
was no further word. At last accounts
Russia was still sweeping forward
across Oalicia, while both Petrograd
and Berlin were claiming the advantage
in the fighting along the German bor
der.
Whether the battleship Audacious
was hit by a torpedo or disabled by a
mine had not been established. The
battleship, put into commission ieca
than two years ago and third in ton
nage of the British navy, went to the
bottom on October '27 ofl' the north
coast of Ireland. Her crew of 800
officers and men were rescued, with one
or two possible exceptions, by small
boats from the liner Olympic. The
British cenosrs did not permit this
news to be cabled and the fact is now
made known by letter advices.
