STOCK GAMBLERS, LOGIC.
They Know Brokerage Consumes Their
Capital, Yet Persist In Playing.

ShPh1ah, Ace crbisb III IidyIhks
Two tape traders were sitting in Wall
street office as had been their won't day
after day, week after week for three
long years. The stock ticker, which re-
cords quotations that bring either joy
or sorrow to spectators, was momenta
rily silent. The market at the opening
had had a sensational break, but at Ii
o'clock the bulls had rallied to it's sup
port and had bid up the prices to the
former level. The usual lull after sharp
breaks and quick rallies prevailed, and
operators were trying to gather their
thoughts either to guess the direction Of
the next move or to mediate on what
profits they might have made in the last
changes had they followed the move in
each direction.

ers, you re bear, aren't you?"

"Been a bear nine days out of ten,
haven't your"
eyes, believe havo. What of it?"
"Well, George, have you made any
money i'll the market?" continued tho
speaker in sorrowful tones.
ono, Jack, I'm behind many thou
sands, but, by tho way, you've been a
bull nine days out of every ten, and
how much money have you nader"
was the taunting reply.
A detected look mixed up with a sick
ly smile came to the traders face as no
was asked this question, and after few
moments hesitation he said, "To tell
the truth, George, I, too, am heavy
loser. -
"Well, then, Jack, who got all the''-
Zone hundred Paul at "A 14-Sugar is
fiveeighths, shouted the Office boy, as
the sharp click of the ticker printed the
quotations.
Buy me 100 Paul at the MARKET"
was one traders order.
Sell me 200 Sugar at three quar-
ters," was the others.
The broker SOON telephoned from the
floor of the exchange that the orders
had been executed, and his bookkeeper
made credit to brokerage account of
$75 of the traders money. Thus it is
that i'll playing stocks, as in all gambling,
the house slowly but surely gets the
players "pile. New York Press.
