A Pine-Street Brokers Curious
Experience With a
Client.
EXCITEMENT OVER A DEAL.
Had to Wait a Month IN Order
to Get Check.

There was group of men whose faces
are familiar on the Mining Exchange
standing around one of their most promi-
nent associates few days ago at the juno
tion of Leidesdorff and Pine streets. Evi-
IDENTIFY there was good story being told,
and newspaper man who happened to be
passing joined the listeners. His presence
was not objected to, the fact being that
mining men rarely if ever ''sit down on"
the searchers after news. And it was
mighty curious story. too. This is about
the cream of the whole thing: The broker
who was telling the story had a client who
was dong fairly well in the matter of
short speculations, and he had quite fair
bank account. About couple of months
previous to the time this incident occurred
he had made very good buy, and inti-
mated to the broker that he would chang
onto the stockton few weeks at least.
Things began to come his way. The stock
rose and though it became trife weak
on one or two occasions, it gradually crept
up. And, of course, the time came when
it seemed advisable to sell. The arrange
ments were all promptly made, the sale
executed, and there was a fair check
handed to the fortunate investor. The
broker admitted that he had noticed that
his client was scarcely as we'll as he had
known him to be in the few chats that he
had with him during the month previous,
but he did not think him seriously i'll.
But, 10 and behold the moment that he
took pen in his hand to sign the necessary
receipt, release, etc., it was very evident
| that writing legib!y was out of the uues-
tlon. But that matter was passed over
gracefully, for the stock board man had the
most complete confidence in his clients
