Fact Versus Theory.

On August I'd, 1878, Western Union
Telegraph stock sold at the New York
Stock Exchange for "a l-2 per share.
September 18th, 1878, this same stock
sold at SO LA fiuctuation of IL ga
per cent. in 40 days. 10000 shares Of
this stock bought at "a IL on margin
of per cent. required an actual capi-
tai of $4,000. The same stock sold at
the advanced price of 96 IA. showed a
profit of $1.l74 per 100 shares, or IL
3 per cent on the stock On the whole
10000 shares the actual profit was
$l17 500 or 1874 times the capital used
within the brief space mentioned. PeO-
pie often theorize about supposable
cases. The above are hard facts shown
by the official record. Very few per-
sons, however, are able to invest singly
the $4,000 necessary to reap such fab
ulous profits as soere gained by the above
transaction, but Messrs. Lawrence &
