TRADING IN WALL STREET.
Volume of Business in Stocks and Sc
curities Para1yzes Brokers

Volume of Business in Stocks and Sc
curities Paralyzes Brokers.
The tremendous business which Wall
street brokers have been called on to
transact during the present record-break-
ing days has more than taxed their
strength and resources it has fairly par
alyZed them, says New York dispatch.
One development of this unparalleled ac-
tivity in the stock market is seen in the
strain put upon Wall street bookkeeping.
The question has been discussed in
number of firms as to whether, if present
conditions continue, it will become neces-
sary shortly to have two forces of clerks,
a day force and a night force. The de-
mand for accountants just now far eX-
ceeds the supply, for, while bOokkeepers
with experience in mercantile houses are
easily obtained, brokers say it is difficult
to find men who are competent to handle
the complicated accounting of a broker
age office. The tremendous advance in
values is almost without precedent, and
the dealings have never been witnessed
in such tremendously heavy volume.
1t is roughly estimated that 300 of the
leading commission houses are footing an
aggregate expense bill of $15,000,000 an
nually in order to provide sc mechanism
and facilities to carry on trst-class COM
mission business in stocks. To carry on
a stock brokerage business to-day means
ansexpense of anywhere from $4,000 to
SLo0, 600 a year.

now it is no affair of yours. You will
simply have to take my word for it.
Come on. Jim. | am anxious to see

So it was that Jim was so happy. He
had only two days more to wait; then
he would get his months wages. He
had $500 saved up, and he reflected
that he and Nelly would manage to get
along on that for a while. His pride
was riding rampant, also, and his con-
science was very self-Satisfcd, indeed,
for had he not held out against the al
lurements Of beauty, wealth, position,
ease-everything? 1t was victory well
worth rejoicing for.
The ceremony was over. the few init
mate friends had taken their departure.
and Jim and Nell looked at each other
in bewildered sort of way.
Il think we ought to take a trip, jim.
I'm so deadly tired of this place. /

bundle Of books and papers. He
picked up the first one and read the
inside page: First National Bank, in
account with James NJ. Allyn. De

ties duly transferred and assigned TO

600, and more particularly described
as follows: The Trust and Safe De-

enjoying the situation. She seated
herself on the arm Of the chair and
said:

MONEY AND MATRIMONY

0 LLYN rode across the prairie

ward the East. where the sun
was scarce an hour high. The fresh,
bracing air seemed to permeate every
fibre of his being, and he drew in great
breaths Of it. feeling a wild sort Of
pleasure in the mere fact of being alive.
For once in three years he was hap
by, and he had been in that beatific
state for two whole days. The rest of
the COWBOYS of the outfit did not know
what to make of IT. Cayuse Ike said
he had been "lOcoed." for Allyn had
been nicknamed by the camp Sorrow
full Jim, and to see him bOyishly ex-
uberant and in a gay humOr was an I'M
heard-of thing until the last day or so.
Allyn had once made the mistake of
considering life a very serious matter
indeed, and then. after trying for a
year to practice law and not getting
anyone to practice upon. he had given
it up in disgust and migrated to the
home of opportunity in hope of getting
rich.
During his idle hours Allyn had fallen
in love, and he took that very seriously
also. 1t went hard with him, for he
had nothing on earth except a few
bonds an old aunt had left him, and the
revenue from them did not amount to
$500 a year. At the rate his practice
was not increasing MethuSelah would
have been a yOungSter compared with
Allyn if he waited for the revenue from
his profession to enable him to marry.

A representative of the ERA visited
the mines of the company this week,
and was greatly surprised at what
he saw. He had heard nothing but
the most flattering reports from the
property for some time, but did not eX-
pect to find such large bodies OF rich
ore. In one tunnel about twenty feet
of good pay ore has been cut through
besides a vein of copper glance from
II to Is inches in width, which will
average from 10 to % per cent. Other
large bodies of ore have also been
struck in the other works, and for the
amount of labor performed Standard
is now showing more ore than any
other property in the district. The
claims are all paid for and the COM
pany is out of debt. Considerable
Standard stock changed hands in Cliff
ton last week at advanced figures.
Since the recent big strikes in the
property there is strong demand for
the stock.

AN OPAL MINE.

A representative of the ERA last
week visited an opal mine in the
Horseshoe range of mountains about
fifteen miles from Summit station on
the A. x n. NJ. 1t can be reached by
good trail, though the mountains in
the vicinity are very rough. The opals
were discovered about twenty years
ago by a prospector, who was staked
by Lord Hussey and Rich Hart. The
prospector was killed by Indians in
1885, at the mine, after which the sur
viving partners lost interest in the
prnpertY. Lord Hussey now resides
on his estates in Euglad, and Hart is
broker on Wall street. The best of
the gems have been carried away, and
the old workings have caved in. The
mine has not been relocated. Pros
pectors know so little about opals that
they seem to be afraid to take hold of
