ODD SIGNS THAT
MEAN MILLIONS
The Wonderful Silent Language by
Which the Brokers Of W;tIi Street
Transact business.

Millions change hands daily in New
York's famous Wall Street without the
scratch Of Il pen The trading, is carried
on by the means OF signs made with the
hands and fingers. Il j. not generally
realized that men must be scrupuouSiy
honest in these dealings. more honest in
fact than IN almost any other business
The temptation and the opportunity 10 be
dishonest are so great that many rules
are in operation which would seem curious
indeed anywhere but on the. floor of the
Exchange
The visitor who looks down upon the
floor of the Exchange during an exciting
session concludes that the brokers are
all crazy together The layman can see
nothing but 4 howi:ng mob AS a matter
of fact the activities below him are car
r!ed on according to strict rules. but the
action is so rapid that the eye cannot
follow it
\ considerable part of the business OF
the country, involving millions of dollars
daily, IS transacted by sign language The
scene of these great transactions is the
floor of The Stock Exchange. Any one
one who has seen the antics of the bro
kers will understand that it IS always diff
ficu!t and often impossible for them TO
make themselves heard. The confusion
on the floor is often so great that a
broker cannot even make himself heard
by shouting in the ear of the man next
him.
When a broker wishes % btty cr sell
stock with his customer several feet
from him or perhaps &cf'ss the room
conversation IS impossible. If :he broker
used megaphones the confusion 7roulG be
merely increased. To oov'ate This they
have devised a sign language s,'re hing
like that used by the deaf and dumb.
With this voca bulary of fin,rce man
can buy or sell stock no U!ot-ar 1Jw great
the turmoil.

Hearts that are old fear
Thought Of lost gladness,
Not for the du!ler ear
Music OF sadness.

Memory is madness!
