OF the Wrist
An odd sight Is to be witnessed daily
on the Consolidated exchange. Visit
ors for some time have noted a little
group OF women who stand all day long
In the gallery at the Broadway end Of
the building, says the New York Mail
and Express, They also notice one
particular broker ON the door who Is
continually cranlng his neck aud glanc-
ing at one OF the women In that group.
Every once In while. after glance.

Just under the edge Of the gallery, and
makes a transaction.
Only the observing viii notice, how
ever, any connection between his oper-
atoms and the woman whom he
watches. From iO;30 o'clock Till
o'clock she stands there. with one hand
resting over the railing. With slight
movements OF this hand she gives Or
ders to buy and sell wheat to the bro
ker The number Of fingers extended
indicate the number OF thousands OF
bushels to be done, and a twist up or
down OF the whole hand tells the bro
ker whether to buy or sell.
But that is not the queer part OF Il.
A stranger asked one OF the brokers. a
friend OF his, who the woman was.
why" was the reply, that's the
rlairvoyant operator. She's real clair
voyant all right; she reads the future
turns In the market and buys or sells
accordingly. or az least she thinks she
reads the future, and maybe she does.
for she has lasted longer than the or

been at II for months.
