AN EXPERTS VIEW OF THE STOCK MARKET.

That portion of the press of the country that is not
influenced in any way by the Wall street influences,
nor under any obligations to the big specializing
element has not failed to draw the proper moral les.
son from the late transactions in stocks in New York
or to characterize the actors in the speculation as
tney deserve to be characterized.
These operations were gambling, pure and simple
and those who participated in them were gamblers.
About the best review" of the situation that has yet
appeared in print by the notorious Sheedy of
New York, who bears the somewhat questionable dis.
tincon of being king of the gamblers" THE regular,
modest, professional gamblers who do no make any
pretensons such as the stock market gamblers make
Mr.. Sheedy, at Buffalo was quoted as follows:
If run bank (faro) the fellow that plays gets fair
all hig l the little bali drops II he's gambling in stocks
is all the other wal The brokers' the inside and other
things being equal he'll get the money anyway
The player feeds the kitty before the game begins He
break even but when he plays the broker game he quits
loser The men who run the game in Wall street sure
thing gamblers They know just how the cards going
The limit too big too Wall street makes criminals
Yet the game licensed If ran game Of faro the way
the Wall street Id either be lynched jailed OF
Organized society is bundle of Inconsistencies
and contradictions The Pat Sheedys are tabooed.
and very properly but the who run the bigger
wall street game the jim Keenes and the Hills and
Morgans, and their various drummers and agents
throughout the country are neither "lynched Jailed
nor driven out of town" On the contrary, they are
received everywhere with open arms and toasted and
admired in proportion to the size of their winnings
When the general public, the alleged morally-mind
ed public, once develop that clearsghtedness and fac
uty of critical analysis displayed by Mr. sheedy the
stock gamblers will probably strike the Just level in
popular estimation New Yorks reform committee
