has proved that gold can prohtably

broker of that city. George Munroe
married a sister of G~reenshields and
through his influence the brothers were
introduced in good circles. There had
always been speculation as to whether
or not the haberdashery store prospered,
but one day it was announced that the
M~unroes had sold the store. At this

Broad street, in the very heart of the
financial district.
While In Montreal they had become
connected with the Marconi Wireless
Telegraphy company, of Canada, and, as
it was understood that the stock was
valuable, they began to advertise it ex-
tensively on their arrival here, and
worked up a wonderful trade among the
Italians, who were attracted in part, no
doubt. because of their kinship of ma
tionality with the inventor.
Meantime the Munroes had also be-
come interested in the Montreal &
Boston Consolidated Copper company,
which is at the bottom of the present
situation. After the smash in copper
two years ago, however, they had a hard
row to hoe, and little was heard OF
them in connection with this company.
They nevertheless kept the Marconl
stock to the front, and when there came
a revival of the demand for copper
abroad, their prospects frightened.
Lay Plans for Coup.
They reorganized the Montreal q
Boston, got some other properties to-
gether, and then laid plans for n OF
the biggest stock market coups in the
history Of the curb.
A scheme was formed to have the stock
of the company underwritten with the
special provision that the work should
be done by stock exchange firms. as
Munroe & Munroe were not members Of
the exchange. The stock was OF apal
value of five dollars a share, and a con-
tract was entered into by which the per
SON. who were to underwrite it were
to get the stock at one dollar per share
Various persons went into the syndi
cate, with the provision that they were
to take or underwrite a certain number
of shares, paying n dollar per share

said, the game grew too big for them"
Plan of the Brokers.
James Stillman, president OF the Ma
tional City bank, describes the transac-
items by which Munrce & Munroe, the
laundry" brokers, obtained from the
bank a daily loan Of $50, coo for eight
days on an unindorsed and unsecured de-
mand notes for the purpose of washing
hundreds of thousands of shares of Mon
treal & Boston Consolidated mining
stock in the curb market, as the act of a
junior officer of that institution.
That junior officer was Archibald G..
LOOMS, second vice president of the
bank and the leading member Of the
Montreal and Boston underwriting syn
dictate. OF course there had to be some
body upon whom the responsibility could
be placed by the public for the unusual
transactions, and the curiosity of men
on the street was satisfied when Mr..
LoOmis resigned.
1t should be said, however, that in the
transactions the bank was in no way dis
credited. The sec, 900 borrowed were
paid back by Munroe & Munroe before
the close Of banking hours each day, SO
that the bank lost nothing.
An interesting phase of the negotia-
tons was that the Munroes, unknown
and untried youths, became close per-
sonal friends Of Loomis.

The worldly capital of the Munroes
when they quit the genteel occupation OF
gents f%urnishers in Montreal to take up
even a more genteel occupation in New
York, was about 81, 900.
The furniture in the office would have
cost more than that-if it had been paid
for, and reflected great credit upon the
good taste of the gentlemen. The desks
were of the finest and most expensive
make and the furnishings lavish. There
was a grill Of chastely ornamental iron
work which confined the cashier, and
probably kept him from ~absconding
with the firms heavily bonded debt.
The furniture included a set of big
easy leather-lined chairs and an impos-
ing sofa. There were other tasteful
touches about the place, and everything
suggested to the uninitiated that untold
wealth was at their command.
But it was these same furnishings
that first brought the trouble that result

Bankruptcy Proceedings Instituted.
About October 1, Munroe & Munroe

street offices.
They mentioned as reference the Ma

afterward lent them 100000 daily on

had sold goods to the National City bank.
With that reference there seemed to be
no doubt that the firm was financially
