Cyrus W. Fields Peculisrities
lRrookIyn Union

There is an old story about Mr.. Field that
he shakes hands with person according TO
his wealth or position. II the person occu-
pies high rank be will give him his whole
hand, and IL he is person in the middle
station he will give him thre. finger, per-
haps, and IL poor and humble citiz,n, one
finger is enough. 1t is fact that Mr.. Field
has a great habit OF shaking hanls W tn one
finger, and be seems to regret allowing that
to be used for shaking purpassA A thing
that has given him as much reputation as
anything else In Wall street is his door-bang-
ing propensity. When he enters an office he
bangs the door with might and main, and
while In gathers his strength to slam itagain
when he goes out Tho door Of one Office
which he frequents, as am told, required rs-
pairing from his banging four times within
ayear.
Most people have an idea that Mr.. Field is

Fields wealth at about 5000, 900, and that
Is in all probability the extent Of it The
average person. no doubt, thinks Mr.. Field
o. wealthy as Mr.. Sage. and some think he
Is almost as wealthy as Mr. Gould. The
truth Is, Mr.. Field is rather pretentious
man, and his airs, perhaps, have created an
idea OF great wealth. He Is not an operator
