It was the corner in this sto engineered by Ryan that marked t beginning of his downfall There was pledged wtih the Guar- anty Trust Company for its own ac count, and according to the statement of officials, for the account of others, a total” of 120,614 shares, with the Chase National Bank, apparently for its own account, 9,400 shares; with the Mechanics and Metals Nattonal Rank Bank, 2,400 shares; and Trust Company, 4,500 shares the Empire Trust Company, shares. Accordin gto a statement issued by the Guaranty Trust Company it has written off $3,000,000 against the Ryan gan account. Other banks seem reluct- ant to state what provision if any has been made for proving in reserve ac counts against the loss which appar ently has resulted from their transac tions with Ryan. There was hardly a possibility that Stutz stock would again be taken into the f y the « Exchange as long as Ryan might beneft by hav ing it listed.
