CASH IN WALLSTREET.
Business Transacted Entirely by the
Use of Bank Checks.
FORTUNES INTRUSTED TO BOYS.
Thieves Are but Seldom Seen in the Money
Center of New York.

CORRESPONDENCE OF THE D1sPATcH.I
NEW YORK, April 8o.-The sight of money
il comparatively rare in Wall street. The
business is wholly done by checks. There
are two reason for this: One is facility and
the other is safety. Ifmoney were used
not only the brokers but the banks would
have to treble their forces of clerks A
check for 500. 900 or 81, ,00O, 900, or in fact
any amount-and million-dollar checks are
not at all uncommon-can be handled in a
couple of seconds, while to count out 81, ,000,-
900 in bills as the denominations average
would take half day of hard work.
Then again, If money were used Wall
street would be a thieves paradise. A
wall around the great financial center would
not keep them out. They would scale it or
tunnel it. The entire police force of New
York could not repress the stealing. As 1t
is, only:two Of Superintendent Byrnes' de-
tectives are kept in the "street," and their
presence is little more than precautionary.
The principal occupation of the policemen
on the regular beats is to disperse gather
ings which block the way and to pilot peo-
pie over the crossings
When he was chief of the detective force
Superintendent Byrnes established rule
that no professional "crook" must be seen
below Fulton street, which Is six blocks
from Wall street. In police parlance that
is known as the s'dead line" 1t tibet
known to either the detectives or the police
men is seen in Wall street he is told to
'tget," and he invariably 'tgets."
Little Chance for Thieving There.
There is little dishonesty in Wall street
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-05-01

borrowers have accounts with them they
place the amounts to their credit. Other
wise they issue cashiers checks which can
be deposited in the banks where the bor-
rowers have accounts. The banks settle
among themselves daily. The "differ-
ences''are determined at the Clearing House
and cashiers checks are sent to the banks
to which balances are due. The actual
money used in Wall street, putting the bus
mess of brokers with that of the banks, does
not exceed 1 per cent of the total trans
actions.
Capitalists Use but Little Cash.
The great capitalists of Wall street, in
their personal expenditures, do not use
money. They employ checks for the same
reason as the brokers' In the betrayal of
their household expenses even they use
checks. It is the custom of most of them to
allow their buffers so much month for the
maintenance of their establishments. The
buffers, fguratively speaking, board them.
The, millionaires, too, are as methodIcal
in their personal as in their business affairs.
They keep strict account OF what they draw
for their expenses and what they pay out
Mr.. Gould carries his cash in an old-fash-
ioned wallet in an inside pocket. Days at
a time pass without his opening the wallet.
Russell Sage carries his cash in long
yellow envelope which reposes in the in
side pocket of his coat. With the money is
q strip of paper npon which he jots down
in his small and neat chirography his out
lays Nobody is more exact than Mr.. Sage
and his punctiliousness is shown in his
personal matters quite as much as in his
business dealings. Collis P. Huntington
is particularly an 'old-fashioned" man.
He carries big wallet, but the receptacles
in it are stuffed with papers. One space Is
enough for the money that he needs for his
individual expenditures. Less gold in pro-
portion to the money used is seen in Wall

A Quarter-Mile Track Under Roof

several new and spacious barns I will have

The full stable, when complete, will COM
prise 150 thoroughbreds, and Captain Brown
is perfectly sanguine of his new idea OF
Northern breeding and training. 1t is GER
tainly a commendable innovation which
again demonstrates that Western Pennsyl.

industries than those founded on iron, coal,

Blue Mantles and his general makeup movel
me to use the sentiment by Barry Cornwall
which is quite apropos:
Gamarra is q dainty steed,
Strong, black, and Of a noble breed.
Full Of fire and full of bone,
With all his line of fathers known;
Fine his nose, his nostrils thin,
But blown abroad by the pride withinl
His name is like a river flowing
And his eyes like embers glowing
In the darkness of the night,
And his pace as swift as light.
Aside from these three, which are con-
sidered the leaders on the farm, Too Quick
was considered a good, game horse, but as
his name implies he used his heels with bad
effect, and he was relegated to Captain
Browns Southern farm. There are dozens
and dozens of youngsters coming up, all of
them being the get of one Of the above
named horses.
Kicking Colts Cutting Up Capers
About 80 brood mares are grazing quietly
over the place, while their colts or tillies
are kicking up their heels at a passing
steamboat within a safe distance Of their
proud mothers. Among some of the we'll
known mares which have attained notoriety
on the stretches are Katie A, by Hyder
Ali; Sunbeam, by Hindoo, a great racer,
Sunlight, Not Much, Enkonia, Matinee,
and other noted ones. A lot of high-strung
2-year-olds has recently been shipped to
Memphis to take part in some of the stake
races there. Included in the bunch are
Parapet, Bob Seed, Hesperia, Vida, Gala
tea, Maggie Golden, Perhaps and After

Of the River Farm as q breeding center
Captain Brown said: 'T think there Is no
better climate than right here. OF course
the Kentucky farms cannot be e1celled,
but when you can get the same results at
home, it is useless to 60 away, isn't 1t? I
have long contended that the famous Blue

farms. My assertion has proved true, an

These parlor stalls are models of comfort
Each one is Is by 20 feet, while the walls,
floor and furniture are of the best material
money can purchase. Further on down the
line, Troubadour, the swift son of Lisbon,
poked his valuable head through the door
in answer to call from his owner. Every
turtle remembers the great suburban OF
1886 when the red and blue colors of the
Brown stable were carried to the front by
Troubadour with Fitzpatrick up. Blne
Wing kept the stable before the public by
winning several big stakes
That was a memorable year for this instl-

winning 81, and ran second in 81 of them.

because there is little opportunity for it.
All checks are drawn ito order" and they
cannot be used bv others than the ones for
whom they are intended, unless forgery ID
resorted to. A lost check Is of no more
value to the finder than piece of blank
paper.
It is the practice of most brokerage and
banking houses to draw checks to the order
of their cashiers and they in turn make
them payable to the order Of the payees.
Thus treble precaution is provided for
checks require three names to make them
good. For another thing the cashiers do
not have direct access to the firms bank
accounts. No money, beyond what might
be designated as "current cash." reaches
the cashiers hands
Checks prepared for deposit are likewise
valueless. On the back Of them Is stamped

Guards Placed on the Tin Boxes.
Every day at the close of business the
brokers pack in tin boxes or stiff leather
cases the stocks and bonds which they are
''carrying" in their Offices, either "on mar
gin" for customers or as collateral" for
loans, and take them to the safe deposit
vaults for secure keeping over night These
reoeptacles are carefully guarded to and
from the vaults by clerks. The stocks and
registered bonds stand in the names Of con-
Germs and individuals, and could not be
negotiated by others. Coupon bonds, how
ever, are good in snybody's hands, and If
stolen they could not be recovered from an
innocent holder, although their identity
might be determined by the numbers on
them.
The chief reason for the protection Of the
brokers' boxes is the trouble that would be
caused if one should be taken. The COM
panies that issued the securities, except the
coupon bonds, would furnish new ones but
would require bonds Of indemnity.
When the banks make deposits they do
not pay over the actual money. If the

Captain Sam Browns River Farm.
For some years aptain Sam Brown, the
well-known millionaire coal magnate, has
evidenced strong love for highly bred
horses, and in satisfying his hobby great
sable of jumpers has been gathered to-

Richmond, Troubadour and Masterpiece.
CAPTAIN Brown owns number of farms
in different parts of the country, and this
one, which comprises over 500 acres, is
known as "The River Farm" 1t is situ-

Captain Brown happened up at his farm

pleasure of the visit was greatly enhanced.
