WOMEN nRokERS.
An Entcrprising Female Firm in New York


FROM the New York Graphic
The Ladies' Mining and Real Es-
tate Agency, established at No. 23
Union Square last week, is the latest
of the numerous novelties in the
agency line FOR which this locality has
become noted, and furnishes addi-
tional and indisputable evidence of
the enterprise and business tact of at
least some of the women of Gotham.
The LADIES' composing this firm and
combination are Mrs. E. Hyde McIn-
tyre, a well-preserycd matron of per-
haps sixty years, more or less, who
has had & large personal experience
in mining operations in the far West,
and Marion Warner, petite and
much younger lady, who has been in
active business in this city for num-
ber of years. The agency is located
in room No. II, on the third floor
the room formerly occupied by Mr..
Steele Mackaye, the dramatic author,
and is elegantly furnished, combining
both cosy parlor and business office.
When the Graphic reporter called
yesterday afternoon the ''firm" were
busily engaged in negotiations with
several lady visitors, but when at
leisure talked enthusiastically con-
cerning their new venture. 81 had"
said Mrs. McIntye, "been convinced
some time ago that New York is
bonnd to become the mining and
money center of the country, and
saw that new field was open for wo-
men possessed of good business quail
itications. Having gained thorough
knowledge of mines and mining prop
erty, determined to utilize it, be-
lieving that l would succeed. We
will deal in all kinds of mining stocks,
gold, silver, copper, iron or lead,
buying and selling on commission.
We also will buy and sell railroad
and other reputable stocks. We are
just as able AMI responsible as men
brokers, and we can discover no rca-
son why we should not receive the
patronage of the public as they do.
There are thousands of wealthy ladies
in this city, and throughout the coun-
try who would like 20 invest some of
their surplus money in good paying
mining and railway properties, but
who hesitate to deal direct with Wall
street brokers Our agency will afford
them all the facilities they desire, and
in time expect to receive a goodly
share of their patronage. Already
we have received few orders for
mining stocks from ladies and many
inquiries concering railroad and other
stocks. So you see that when oul
. business becomes more generally
l known and our reputation is fairly
= established, the indications are thai
we will not be idle
