gist, one does not have to take a special
course at school or college, but the
examinations Of the various state boards

usual training school for the young man is

premiership TO druggist the clerk is not

WALL STREETS MACHINERY.

tors contribute TO the l,100 brokers con-
stituting the New York Stock Exchange
about $oo,000,00J a year.
This vast sum comes from the brokers

bought and sold, or s12.50 either way. II
naturally follows that comparatively few
Of the famous Wall Street fortunes hate
been made by speculation-that Is the
speculation OF their possessors. They
have been made by the speculation OF the
public who want new and expensive toys
to play with year after year. The power
full houses are those who manufacture
these playthings for the speculative pub
lie. Tho next grade OF affiuence is en-
bodied In the brokers who help the child
like public to swap and resell these toys,
charging q fee for each process. In addi-
tion TO this eo5, ,00O, 900 entrance fee, there
Is fully 500. 100000 that is lost by a
less subtle process--the perennial 'shake

brokers will load up with inactive and
rather dubious stocks at period when
they are very low. These are held until

manipulation. Is induced 10 engage In
frenxied buying and at good high prices.
Soon the market becomes top-heavy by
reason Of its senseless irfation and be-
gins TO sink TO it's former level The
downward movement Is accumulated by
brokers who suddenly become pessimistic
bears and sell short.
The usual margin put up by spectators
on purchase of stock is a 10 per cent cash
deposit to protect stock TO a certain point.
For instance, stock selling at 100 Is
protected for him until II drops to 90.
At that point. the broker closes his ac-
count unless further margins are put up
