The Pittsburgh Commercial cautions It's
readers against parties who are advertis.
iRg through the papers inducements to
the unwary to send money to them for
speculative ventures in grain or stocks.
These parties attempt to make 1t appear
that they have a plan Of their own by
which their patrons arc sure to make
money. In fact the reader is led to DO.
leye that success is absolutely certain.
The Commrcial very properly comments
on this sort Of deception as follows:
NOhonOnble broker ever advertises that
he has some plan by which he can prom.
lSe large and sure profits to those who will
operate through his agency. Such adver-
tlsements are now prominent In the news.
papers, and have through the rules which
govern our business management appear.
I'll in the columns OF this paper. Let US
say right here, that all such advertisers
who represent that, by alleged Comblna-
tons OF other methods OF speculating in
stocks or grain, they can promise enlarged
chances OF success 10 their customers, are
10 Oedistrusted. They arc making false
representations in order to get hold Of the
money Of the public. The chances OF
speculation ut New York or Chicago are
largely against the outsider from the facts
Of the case. Inthe next place II any one
has a plan by which success Is made more
likely, he will not give 1t away to the pub.
IIlc, but will keep all the advantage OF Il to
himself. Starting out with false represen-
tAtions, how much likelihood Is there that
such men will be bound by the truth in
their settlement Of accounts In which they
are subject to no outside checks wha.eyer2
We shall not waste breath In advice 10
our readers to abstain from all forms OF
speculation or gambling. Such advice
would be either needless or useless. But
II people are determined To risk their
money, whether on the green table or Al
the call board, let them beware alike d
the aiiablc stranger who forms their &C.
lnaintanC0 at the hotels, and offers to es.
cOrt them to quic! little place around the
corner, and the alleged broker who tempti
them with announcements Of the immense
sums made through the instrumentalIty o.
