the Old Dutch method-height, depth and breadth

BRIEFS
1t is astonishing how jealous the members OF the
Stock Exchange are of any effort to form a rival
institution. Especially is this apparent when the
new move looks like success, as I'm the one now
being promoted by Cyrus w. Field, Sage and
Gould. This is the secret II the operations OF

board, half the volume of business would also be
taken, and every movement in properties that
causes fluctuations OF their stock values would be
taken too.
