about the sides of the ROOM or chatting ABOUT the

When Grier came in they relieved the tension by
going after him. ,
The south side of the floor looked like footbaIl

stood up and watched the progress OF the hazlhB.
He motioned for brokers to stop. but they PAID

at once in brokers offices all the city by the

cipitated a panic So the chairman had to grin ana
bear it, and the fun went till the brokers got
tired of 1t.
The incident recalled one that occurred In the
trying days of 1888 when of the largest houses
in the Street, having learned of rumors attacking
its credit, sent message to the chairman TO be
