desk at one end there came a great
rapping with gavel.
The first business was an announcement.
1t was that the firm of y. X Co. had sus-
pended for the second time In three years.
Somebody, probably personal enemy OF
X, started to cheer, but was suppressed.
Then the business of the morning be-
gan. To high signboard, whore the
sugar stocks were displayed, there came
out certain small figure. l think 1t
was Ill 81. That meant that sugar had
gone up. There was a rush towards that
desk and the men hustled each other TO
get to it quickest Another figure went
up. Sugar was still rising. A queer wave
passed through the room. Men lowered
their chins in their coats and, raising
their fingers, ran towards the sugar desk
with a determined look in their faces and
began to buy. Sugar was going up-up.
But no it wasn't. Somebody was bear
ing the market and selling out fast. The
figures came down again and the men
stepped away, some looking pleased and
some looking quite crestfallen. 1t was
very odd to see them. They might have
been creatures living upon another planet,
with different interests, SO little did they
seem like the men whom one meets bowing
and smiling upon the street.
The rising OF the price OF sugar was
caused, visitor told me, by the bulls,
who We're buying up so as to make sugar
scarce. This would raise the price quickly,
according to the law OF supply and demand.
Bltas soon as the bears-those who wouldn't
let it go up-began selling, the prices went
down again. The bIi's Were much disap.
pointed by this loss OF their chance to make
a fortune. There is no way OF making il
quicker than by n successful bull.
BOYS. In THE KNOW"
During this time the messengers of the
exchange were running wildly here and
there. Their business is TO take messages
from the floor of the Stock Exchange out
into Wall street, to the Office OF their broker.
In the brokers' office there sit many people
with money TO invest, and the people buy
and sell according To advice taken by the
messengers. A ticker" tells the exact

"a Assistant Secretary Doe, who is in charge

it would have been impossible to exchange
the old Springfield rifles held by the militia
for new ones, as the exchange is confined
to arms of other make.
According to Gen. Doe a good gun is
desideratum to militiamen and the govern
ment should see that they are all properly
equipped in that respect. In view of the
main purposes of the bill, it is believed
that it will be amended so as to meet the
point raised by the military authorities.

] saw my broker Ieisurely buying the lower

as he had made a few passes with his
hands which secured me my little invest

rush.
Men fell over each other. Men pulled
each other back. Men punched each other.
Men poked and jammed and wrestled and
hustled till the chairman from his perch
raped for order and yelled something about
fines. In the front rank was my broker,
still holding up his fingers, while man
wrestled wildly to hold him back.
A SUCCESSFUL BULL.
But my stock. What had become Of it?
There was minutes work with an erasure,
and the figures 1O2 had gone up to 1O4.
Another wild onslaught was made. Again
an erasure, and the figures were 1O6.

As quick as he had bought he sold. Ny
