suggesting methods OF easing away
from the financial stress now general

None of those hundreds of brokers showed that desperate resolve to do or die that is born of neces- sity. They were there to by or sell, but not to put up life or death, on depends-theresult fight. Those who were long of stock could easily be distinguished by their expressions of joy from the shorts, who had seen the handwriting on the wall and were filled with uncertainty, fear, terror. The demeanor of Barry Conant and his lieutenants expressed confidence; they were going 10 do what they were there to do. They showed by their tight buttoned coats, and squared shoulders that they expected lots of rush, push and haul work, but apparently they anticipated no last-ditch fighting.

 "Of course. Ike, that is something to be reckoned with, and every man on the floor and in the street as well has his eye on it. Friday, the 18th, would break the best bull market ever under way. You and l know that, Ike, and the dope shows it, too, but you have got to stack this up against 1t on this trip: No man on the floor knows what Friday, the 18th, means better than Barry Conant He has worked it to the queens taste many time. Why, Barry would not eat to- day for fear the food would get stuck in his windpipe. He's never left the pole for a minute; but suppose, Ike, Barry had tipped off Cam that all the boys will let go their fliers, and most of them will take one on the short side over tonight for a supersti tious drop at the opening; and sup. pose Cam has told him to take them all into camp and give her a rafter-scraper at the opening, where would old Friday. 18th, land on to- morrow's dopesheets?

blood, not flesh. bone, heart and soul:

blood, not flesh, bone. heart and soul; just blood The first price on Sugar was 211 for 5000 shares. Some one sold it in a block. Barry Conant bought it. It did not require three eyes to see that the seller was one of his lieutenants. This meant what is known as a wash" sale, a fictitious one arranged in advance between two brokers to establish the basis for the trades that are to follow-one of those minor frauds of stock gambling by which the public is deceived and the traders and plungers are handicap ped with loaded dice. In principle, it is device older than stock exchanges themselves, and is put to use else where than on the floor. For instance, four genuine buyers want a particular animal worth $200 at a horse auction Its owners pal starts the bidding at $400, and the four, not being up in horse values, are thereby induced to reach for it at between $400 and $500 But human nature, whether at horse sales or at stock gambling, loves to be "hinkey-dinked" as much as the moth to play tag with the candle flame. In five minutes Sugar was selling at 221, and the frantic shorts were grab ping for it as though there never was to be another share put on sale, while Barry Conant and his lieutenants were most industriously pushing it just beyond their reaching finger-tips, either by buying 1t as fast as it was offered by genuine sellers, or by talk ing what their own pals threw in the air.
 l was not surprised to see Bobs tall form wedged in the crowd about two-thirds of the way from the cen ter. Every other active floor member was there, too. Even Ike Bloomen- stein and Joe Barnes, who seldom went into the big crowds, were on hand, perhaps to catch flier for their Thanksgiving turkey money, perhaps to get as near the killing as possible Bob was not trading, although on the day before, he never took his eye off Barry Conant. l said to myself: He
