achieve some sweeping coup, and taste

had amassed half million of doll

strong to be resisted. John Burt had
just terminated a campaign which had
netted him nearly million in profit,
and John Hawkins had been equally
successful. Blake saw a chance and
took it. With nerve and skill he
forced a stock to point where vic

seen event ruined his chances at the

seemed broken. The market turned,
but by a series of moves, brilliant as
If inspired by success instead of dis
