stock in these roads have made handsome
profits, for all of them have doubled in
price and more than doubled since 1896.

HOW ARTISTS DO IT.

There are some men in Richmond wao
make great deal of money in buying
and selling stocks and who seldom lose.
But they do not deal at haphazard. they
keep themselves thoroughly informed aus
to the general trade conditions and imam
cial conditions of the country and also
inform themselves as TO the reliuVe
merits Of the stocks that are offered for
sale. They will take up such security,
for example as the stock of the Norfolk
& Western or the Southern Railway. They
will! watch the earnings of these hoads
watch the opera ting expenses, watch the
general mana cement. and having SATISFIED
themselves that the stock at the ruling
price is cheap, they will buy 1t, always
with plenty of margin to carry it no mat
ter how low It may go. II the STOCK goes
down, they simply hold on and wait for
a reaction. Perhaps they will continue
to buy it as it goes down, thus reducing
the average price. 1t requires nerve and
plenty of capital To trade in this way,
but if business conditions are favorable.
by and by there will be turn and the
stock Will begin to go up. as 1t Increases
in price it becomes more and more popu-
lar with traders generally and the price
will probably continue to rise until it gets
beyond its true value. and then there Will
be another reaction. In the meantime,
however, the conservative trader who
bought at the low prices will have taken
his profits and let those who got in late

ton The distinction which some draw is.
between buying outright and buying .'on
a nar:si7.' II you buy stocks and pay
for them and then sell out when the
price rises. that Is regarded as legitimate
business. But II YOU buy on a margin
