QUEEN OF MoNEY-ooDs.

Street.
m. Y. Morning Journal.)

-. L.
Everybody in Wall street knows that
the bold, dome-like forehead of Banker
Henry Clews covers an intensely bullish
intellect in so far as the value of Ameri-
can railroad properties Is concerned, and
the report got abroad yesterday that Mrs.
Edward H Green, Familiarity known as
the Queen of the Street, had become in
fatuated with the great banker, all be-
cause he believed that the power of the
iconoclasts, the ghouls in financial circles,
had seen their best day.
1t was stated that the Queen had taken
up the gauntlet thrown down to her, and
that she proposed to show the gentlemen
IN Exchange Place that, though a woman,
she was as adroit a manipulation as they.
When spoken to about the report that he
was interested with Mrs. Green In an e.
fort to sustain the stock market and
Louisville q Nashville shares in partcu-
lar, Mr.. Clews said there had been some
mistake. He had often met Mrs. Green in
social life, recognized her astuteness as to
things financial, but was not acting for
her on the Stock Exchange.
O1e intimately acquainted with affairs
Of the dethroned banking firm OF John J.
Cisco q Son, with whom Mrs. Green kept
for over twenty years her vast wealth Of
S26, 1000 in securities, In a measure
cleared up the report that the lady had
again appeared on the street, but said her
presence was only the result Of deter
mination to protect, and, If possible, adj
vancs, the stock OF the Louisville & Nash
vile. She wasn't afraid of Bqron woeris.

She visited certain brokers' Office in
Broadway, just below Wall street, every
day. She patronized the twenty -five-cent-
e-m lie black-and-tan cab, and cana down
regularly every morning from her modest
clearinghouse in Eighteenth street. She
was accommodated with a comfortable
easy-chair in the inner office, and occa-
sionally looked at the tape to see how her
pet-the Louisville & Nashville-was pro-
crossing, and by her shrewd directions she
had advanced the stock In three weeks
from % 3-S to 81 3-4
Another version Of the Queens deter
mination to do all in her power to brace up
the stock market was given by one who
admitted the lady's pluck. He said:
"When the Ciscos failed much -un favor
aOio CEiOiCisu WAS paSSed upon MRS. Green.
She, so it was said, refused to honor her
husi and's debt to the firm of 1900, 900 ad-
vanced on Louisville 81 Nasty lie. She
said she had not guaranteed it and could
aot be responsible. But when it became
Enown officially that this loan, the ina
biiity of Mr.. Green, who was for several
years the Vice President Ct the road. and
the refusal OF the Queen to honor it, were
Inc direct causes OF the failure, she felt
Eer position keenly. She had banked with
the firm for many years; they had been
very kind to her, and finally she became
so aprreciative that she gave her check
for the amount. Then she learned that
the firm had still on hand big pile of
Louisville & Nashville. Snd uron its rise
depend' d to a great extent the ultimate
settlement of its affairs. Mrs. Green then
said she would do all in her power to help
the firm out, and she has succeeded ad-
m!rably in the last two weeks. or course
in helping them she helps herself and hus-
band, for they own much of the stock"
"Mrs. Green" said another broker, sis
the Queen and King combined, now that
Mr. Gould is gone, aud she fills the bill
