of Cleveland, received a tip yesterday
from his brother that an extra session of
Congress would be called, went to Wall

the exchange and scooped the street. Ben

that he believed Congress would be called
together earlier than Septem Der, but he
insists that it was a lucky guess as to tie;
exact date He says he was sure Cleveland
would call Congress, and simply made a
fortunate guess. The fact of the great in

James operations in Wall street yesterday
before the news came, causes much COM
