Croli
thinking that the system of thus ex-
tending facilities for excessive speculation to
the clerked public companies and other etsurloyis is
a serious evil. As a men sleek of the Gnat Northern
Railway Company, this unhappy man ought not to
have been able to fled respectable members of the
Stook Exchange willing to conduct for him graces-
dons to this reckless extent. There are many firms
of standing connected with the Stock Exchange who
maid have refused altogether to act for Redpath, for
the simple and sufficient reason that his ostensible
sesame, es indicated by his position, did not warrant
large speculative tranimodoes. In the interest of the
ammanity, we hope that the committee of the Stock
Insbange will at once interfere to cheek the facilities
ghee by the members of that body to men in similar
for the system, if persevered in, can onlyl
to discredit, and may even prove in some
degree scoessory to further frauds upon the public.
