FRIEND OF JAY GOULD
AND JIM FISK
happy event in his life was his appoint
ment as one Of Jay Gouid's brokers.
During the awful days. preceding and fol
lowing the eventful Black Friday. wher
the country was shaken by the crashes ir
Wall street. Mr. Mccormick made record
which earned him the friendship OF Gould
Jim" Fisk was another friend he made
during the rehabilitation Of the market.
An interesting story Is told in this con.
nection.
When Fisk called upon Mr.. Mccormick
for bill of his commissions the flnancier
was staggered by the figures. Whether he
paid the amount Is not known, but tho In.
terview resulted In some argument.
30 emphatically and precisely did young
Mccormick state his case that Fisk was
impressed with him, and said:
why don't you buy a seat in the Ex-
change? I'll help you
And help him he did.
Fisk's influence resulted in Mr.. McCor-
mick being elected member Of the body.
When he was active in the street the bulk
Of business that passed through his hands
was enormous.
His papers to-day show that one day more
than q million dollars went through his of
ill., huu III tuOSe udyS tHdI amount was
considerable, and, indeed, It Is to-day.
Had Mr. Mccormick devoted his earnings
to the purchase of stocks and bonds he
might have left considerable fortune.
But he followed the bent OF his inclina-
TONS and who shall say that his days
were not filed with more peace and hap
piness In the ownership Of works Of art
he loved so dearly and the satisfaction he
derived in collecting them?
Death came suddenly to tho broker.
At o'clock on June 30 he was standing
on the paper Uttered floor Of the New York
Stock Exchange. gazing at the groups Of
excited men who surrounded the various
posts
The tone Of the market was improving.
and q hum of expectant satisfaction
thrilled through the room.
When the stoical. clicking indicators
showed decided advances on the essential
securities that formed the backbone Of the
market, the excitement increased.
Suddenly cheer swept through the room.
It was taken up and re-echoed.
STRICKEN WHILE ON THE
EXCHANGE FLOOR.
A telephone bell jtnsied. and q messen-
ger. clad in khakai uniform. hustled In and
out among tho members till he espied Mr..
McCoruiick, to whom he delivered writ
ten order to sell.
AZ he stood up to receive It the veteran
broker pressed his hand above his heart.
Those nearest him say his breathing was
labored
unsteadily till hs had left the exchange
door. -sA2ss..
