THE STOCKHOLDERS, LEXICON.
Virginia Chronicle.l

Virginia Chronicle.l
Eastern journals devoted to stock mat
tiers use every possible effort to keep
their readers thoroughly posted on the
jargon'of the street, and publish defni-
tons of words and phrases current among
the spectators of Wall and Broad streets,
the Chicago and st. Louis Chambers of
Commerce, etc. The idea is worthy of
adoption here, and as an initial step, the
Chronicle submits the following carefully
compiled;
LEXICON OF THE coMsTocK:
Bear market So-called because opera
tors have to "grin and bear it"
To sell short-To promise to deliver
what you havn't got. Often adopted
outside of stocks, with paralyzing effect
on credulous creditors.
To cover ones shorts-Generally, to
buy at a big loss.
A call-This, from your broker, gencr-
ally means "moro mud"
More mud-A peremptory demand
that the unhappy purchaser shall wallow
more deeply in the financial slough of
despond
Curbstone brokers-Men who rule the
market-in their minds-and always
have millions-to get.
Corners-Expressive of the tight pinch
given sellers on an overshod market.
Highest quotations-What buyers pay
for stock.
Lowest quotations--What sellers get
for shares.
Carrying stock-Packing it from one
broker to make good your overdraft with
another.
Flyer-A clever little operation on the
side which generally bursts the mair
game.
Limited order-Five shares at one fell
swoop--largely in vogue on the Com
stock.
Put--The privilege of going through
and "staying put"
Margins-What operators say they
will never buy on and always do.
Milking the street-A dairy operation
not attempted on G street-only appro
pirate for experienced pullers at tn
stock teat.

A nervous-looking man went into a
store the other day and sat down for half
an hour or so, when clerk asked him if
there was anything he could do for him.
He said no, he didn't want anything.
The clerk went away and he sat there
half an hour longer when the proprietor
went to him and asked if he wanted to
be shown anything "No," said the
nervous man, 81 ust want to sit around
My physician has recommended perfect

must avoid being in crowds. Noticing
that you did not advertise in the news

INSURANCE AGENT. Mr.. H. A. Ly-
man, special agent of the Mutual Life In
surance Company of New York, has been
in town for week soliciting our citizens
to insure, on the endowment plan. No
married man should fail to insure their
lives, so as in case of their death
they will leave little something behind
them, thus assisting the poor fellow who
happens to step into their shoes. A poor
and forlorn widow who has big insur-
ance policy left her by husband fire.
quently marries again six months after his
demise.
AN HONEST RANcHER.-Alex. Brown,
who left Phoebe for California few
weeks ago for the purpose Of hunting up
a home and locating permanently in that
State, we learn has purchased eighty
acres of land, with all the necessary
buildings and improvements upon it, for
So, 200, and is now devoting his attention
to raising big pumpkins and crooked Gu
cumbers, and Mrs. Brown is busily en-
gagged in the cultivation of hen fruit. We
wish them joy and many years of hippi'
ness in their future home.
INDEBTEpNEss.-T The last monthly
statement of the Day Company shows the
indebtedness to be $25, 900. It is the
intention of the company to erect their
new furnaces without levying an assess.
