The
Erie
Fire
Insurance
Company
of
Rochester
announces
that
it
can
not
meet
its
obligations
.
"
Again
that
"
H-a-a-a-w
!
"
Once
more
the
gavel
.
"
The
American
Trust
Company
of
New
York
has
suspended
payment
.
"
"
H-a-a-a-w
!
"
The
storm
was
on
.
What
do
you
think
?
"
asked
Targool
.
"
You
ca
n't
brave
this
storm
.
Ca
n't
you
quit
selling
and
hold
out
for
a
few
days
?
Why
not
sell
short
?
"
"
They
ought
to
close
this
thing
up
,
"
Cowperwood
said
,
shortly
.
"
It
would
be
a
splendid
way
out
.
Then
nothing
could
be
done
.
"
He
hurried
to
consult
with
those
who
,
finding
themselves
in
a
similar
predicament
with
himself
,
might
use
their
influence
to
bring
it
about
.
It
was
a
sharp
trick
to
play
on
those
who
,
now
finding
the
market
favorable
to
their
designs
in
its
falling
condition
,
were
harvesting
a
fortune
.
But
what
was
that
to
him
?
Business
was
business
.
There
was
no
use
selling
at
ruinous
figures
,
and
he
gave
his
lieutenants
orders
to
stop
.
Unless
the
bankers
favored
him
heavily
,
or
the
stock
exchange
was
closed
,
or
Stener
could
be
induced
to
deposit
an
additional
three
hundred
thousand
with
him
at
once
,
he
was
ruined
.
He
hurried
down
the
street
to
various
bankers
and
brokers
suggesting
that
they
do
this
--
close
the
exchange
.
At
a
few
minutes
before
twelve
o'clock
he
drove
rapidly
to
the
station
to
meet
Stener
;
but
to
his
great
disappointment
the
latter
did
not
arrive
.
It
looked
as
though
he
had
missed
his
train
.
Cowperwood
sensed
something
,
some
trick
;
and
decided
to
go
to
the
city
hall
and
also
to
Stener
's
house
.
Perhaps
he
had
returned
and
was
trying
to
avoid
him
.
