Goldfield, New, Jan. 21.-The great
Pacific coast storm of last week seri-
oLsly interfered with the business of
the local stock exchange by reason of
the fact that the Western Union wires
were down between Reno and San
Francisco and communication between
this exchange and the San Francisco
exchange was impossible for several
days. Brokers ana investors were all
at sea. San Francisco brokers could
not fill orders in Goldfield and Gold
field brokers could not fill orders in
San Francisco, This situation was con
sidered unfortunate just at the pres
ent period when prices were all on the
rise. The market eased off little on
account of ii and the spectators and
investors in Goldfield had time to sit
down and figure their profits on the
recent remarkable bulge A liberal
amount of Nevada stocks are held IN

mine show that out of $50, GEO shares
in circulation, 100000 are owned by
people who live in Geldfield. The same
condition exists regarding many other
companies,

During the sessions of the exchange
the rooms have been crowded with an
excited throng. Whenever a new stock
reaches par, and this has happened
several times of late. the event is hi
lariously celebrated by both brokers
and the people, The camp is about
drunk with prosperity. The banks are
doing a heavy business and all have
doubled their clerical forces, though it
is not an easy matter to employ COM
petent clerks in this camp. Many bust
ness houses are in need of clerks. The
trouble seems to be that every live man
in camp can make more money gamb-
ling in stocks or operating leases than
by working on salary. StenogTaph
