GambIino In Metal.

Gambling in metal j. done by means
of buying and selling warrants, these
being the notes for specified quanti-
ties of metal held in stock.
The basis of the gambling is that in
many businesses it is often necessary
to buy ahead large quantities of metal.
When things are slack l":ge stocks ac-
cumulate, while as soon as things be-
come more brisk the metal is taken out
of the stores.
An immense amount of glmbing is
done in connection with pig. as pig
iron is popularity known. Warrants for
pig are made out in units of 800 tons,
and payment is made for the warrants
once a month. Should Il man really
want 800 tons of pi'; iron he obtains
warrant which authorizes him to take
800 tons out of store. and he will be re-
qUircd to pay for the metal within
the month
SuppoSing man buys in the expec-
tation that he will lie allc to sell the
pig iron at Il higher price than is ruling,
he buys warrants according to his
means, ana he has Il month for things
to mature. Should the price of pig go
up during the month he is able to sell
his bargain to another man. and he
pockets the difference. although he
has never laid down any money in real
coin.
Should things 20 wrong with him
and prices go down. then he is obliged
to pay the difference between the price
at which he bought the pig and the
price at which he is able to sell it. and
SO he sustainS Il less. London An
