| Watch the .Ominous Visits to the Street OF
These Old Men.
But few gain sufficient experience in
Wall street to command success until
| they re2ch that period of lifc in which
| they have one foot in the grave. When
this time comes these old veterans of the
street usually spend long intervals &C re-
pose at their comfortable homes, and in
times of panic, which occur sometimes
oftener than once year, these old fel-
lows will be seen In Wall street, hobbling
down on their canes to their brokers' Off
ces.
Then they always ouy good stocks to
the extent of their bank balances, which
have been permitted to accumulate for
just such an emergency. The panic US
uaily RACES until enough of these each

"rake in" When the panic has spent ifs
force these old fellows, who have been
resting judiciously on their oars In ex-
pectation of the inevitable event, which
unusually returns with the regularity OF
the seasons, quickly realize, deposit their
profit with their bankers, or the overplus
thereof after purchasing more real estate
that is on the up grade, for permanent
investment, and retire for another season
to the queitude of their splendid homes

II young men had only the patience to
watch the speculative signs of the times,
as manifested in the periodical egress of
these old prophetic spectators from
their shells of security, they would make
more money at these intervals than by
following up the slippery "tips" OF the

would feel no necessity for hanging at

specious frauds who pretend TO be deep

therefore, watch the ominous visits to
the street OF these old men. They are as
certain to be seen ON the eve of the panic
as spiders creeping stealthily end noise.

Ii you only wait to see them purchase,
then put up a fair msrgin for yourselves,
