tell us all you know about the bankers and
brokers Of New York city," We have had
some funny requests in our day, but tins is
the funniest. Still we can reply briefly.
There nrG bankers and hrnkers even in Wall
street, who are men OF the highest honor.
aud who would lose their right hand before
they would do mean thing. This class do
not hold out ridiculous Inducements to their
patrons. Then there are those who call
themselves bankers and brokers, who will
de- anything to make dollar, and woe be to
the man who gets into their hands. We do
not claim To have mn acquaintance with this
style III brokers, hut il comes in our way now
and then, to know something OF their opera
tons. About u year ago u gentleman, who
had in successful business in Western city
accumulated what he thought was II hand
some competence, came to Now York to live
ut his case he became interested in Wall
street, aud thinking that he might rs well in
crease his moderate fortune. placed his
available means IN the hands of one of these
brokers. He was kept along with reports Of
enough success to encourage HIM. and the
spcculntions continued all winter. When he
came To square accounts with his broker, IS
WIS all that he had left. Our friend turned
his face westward, quite convinced that he
had seen enough of Wall street. Now, il II

That is just it. Nearly every paper in
the country is ready to insert advertisements
for every contemplate humbug that comes
along, because it pays. These Wall street
advertisements can be found in all the local
papers, and not one OF the publishers doubts
for moment that the thing is an unmitigat'
ed swindle. The wonder is that there are
fools enough taking these papers. who will
invest, to make it an object for the New
York cut.throats to advertise.
