The London Daily Mail recently pub
lished the first of series of articles
about ]. Z. Morgan and his. methods.
The paper calls him the most remark
able financier of modern times.
In introducing editorially its series
of articles the Mail deprecates Nor

tinueS:

such vast issues in stocks should hang
on the discretion and Judgment of q
single man, for the failure of any one
of AIorgan's trusts may mean financial
disaster.
