A FINANCIAL BAROMETER.
A Diamond Ring Tests the State of

New YORK Recorder


The man had ring on his little finger-a ring

hand. "that is my instrument for gauging The
money market. No, IL isn't an occult stone in
any way-didn't come out OF the eye OF an In

regulated their affairs by its eolors. Nothing
of the sort. It's just a plain little diamond
ring. and not very valuable one either.

ring TO him.
mo my surprise. could only get IS on it.
Now, diamonds were not any cheaper then
than In 1883; IL was just that the pawnbrokers
were more uneasy. They don't pretend TO
give you more than One-lhird of he value of a
thing, but whether or not they'd do even that
depends mainly on the general feeling OF the
financial world. and there are no better judges
OF II than the pawnbrOkers.
ION that feeling depends their chance OF get
ting their interest, which Is their only profit,
and OF selling their unredeemed goods If they
can't.
Now I'm not particularly hard up at this
moment. but I gust now looked IN at my old
relatives and offered my ring just to see what
he'd offer me. What do you suppose? Five
dollars was the last cent they'd go on II. Tell
you, that makes me think IT'S time for Con.
