AN IMPREssIoNIsTIc VIEW OF

WALL STREET.
 It was a large room--the largest of the suite that comprised the office of the firm on the third floor of the New Broadway building. One entire side was of glass-the windows that looked down into the dank and dreary canyon that is known as New street, where Neil could see the dim figures of drip ping messenger boys racing to and fro like restless souls foredamned to eter- nal motion.
 Another wall was given over to a hugt blackboard ruled into slim verti- cal columns by thin, white lines of paint, each lettered at the top with ca balistic initials of one of the more ac- tive stocks. At the foot of the board ran a narrow platform of wood, on which was stationed a small. neat, bright boy, with stick. of chalk and an eraser. And at the window end of the platform was the ticker in it's glass case emitting frantic spasms of clicks and slowly disgorging an endless rib- bon of paper tape, on which purpde characters were being, imprinted by the droning, clicking wheel witl1in--eharac- ters meaningless save to the initiated.
 But the lanky, weary man with his hat on the back of his, head, who sat atop the tall stool by the side of the ticker, was of the elect. The tape was ever running through his fingers ere it wound snakily into, the wicker basket; and his eyes never left it. As it, by fits and starts, emerged from the slot. his heavy, melancholy voice booined hollow through the room, Interpreting:
 Reading, an eighth; Central, one seventeen three-fourths; eighteen and a half---p

The small, neat, bright boy raced up and down the platform, his ears cooked to eternal attention, eracing and writ- ing down the figures which the son1bre individual called out to him--erasi1g and rewriting tirelessly.
 From time to- time the little assem- bage of quiet, subdued, intensely eSci- ted men in the heavy, upholstered arrn- chairs inspired sharply. They hung on the lips of the man at the ticker;s in pauses their weary eyes reverted-al- most piteeusly--to the ever-changing lines of figures on the blackboard.
 There were perhaps forty of them men of all stamps, all attired in a way thut would seem to indicate more. or less material prosperity-and all smok- ing nervously, Adding nervously With their Anglers, restlessly ever changing their positions. Now and again one would rise and walk over to the cash ier's windeW--a two-foot square hole in the wall, barred with brass-and serib- ble a hasty notice on one of the blanks, which he would push through the bars to the cashier
 The firm was a commission house, pure and simple. Men used it to specu- late in the stocks and securities listed on the trading list of the New York Stock Exchange. They filled out the little blanks with fierogiyphics that meant "Buy(or selD for my account so many shares of this or that stock, at the prevailing market rate" And these orders, being received by the office force, were telephoned over the firm s private wire to the. floor of the Stock Exchange, where the firms telegraph operator notified the board member" 7" who promptly went forth and bought or ] offered for sale the quantity of this or
