In this city the shock was generally

Matt FASTENED thither, following a foot

All was very still and desolate, withsat

the road was a row of cottages which
seemed inhabited, and were, In fact, the

looked like the beginning Of q village.

showed that most of them were roof1ess.

not few had blasted and sinister ap-

still there was no sign of any human soul.

GAMBLING IN WALL STREET.
"MarsfnaI Trading Is No More Nor
Yesx than m Jur~sfpw NJ p~t.

"MargfnaI Trading" Is No More Nor
Yess than q Juggling of Bets.
l do not say that all the business
done In Wall street is mere game
Of weather betting, says a writer In
the Broadway Magazine Brokers do
buy and sell real stocks with real
money. They are useful and conven-
lent for those who wish to buy or
sell stock In hurry. But this legiti-
mate business that brokers do has be-
come only a small item In comparison
with the make-believe business. 1t Is
the perpetual Wall street trick to ex-
euse what is false by pointing to what
is real. AS well might we justify
Monte Carlo because it sells coffee and
cigars.
1t is the gambler, not the investor,
who makes the brokers fat. If there
were no gambling, there would still
be brokers, but not many. There would
still be stock exchange, but not a
100000 one. There would still be
selling Of stock, but not at the rate of
million dollars minute
Marginal trading" is the
clean. respectable name that Wall
street uses when it talks of gambling.
Marginal trading'-let us see wheth-
er it differs from weather betting. Here
is a grocer named Johnson, for in
stance, who is persuaded by broker
to risk $1,000 on Baltimore & Ohio
stock, which is selling al par-S1OO a
share. The broker does not buy ten
shares and mail them to Johnson. Not
at all. He buys 100 shares and pawns
them at bank for 5000.
For every unit the stock advances
Johnson makes 500 profit, and for
every unit it decreases he loses 500.
If the price of the stock should jump
up to 10, he would double his $1,000.
If it should drop to 90, he would lose
every dollar of 1t, because the banker
would sell the 100 shares to get the
$1,000 back. Johnson could protect
himself only by giving the banker
second $1,000, which would hold the
stock unless the price dropped to so,
when third thousand would be called
for, and so on.
In Wall street language, Johnson was
a lamb" If the price had dropped
to 90, and he had lost his money, he
would have been "shorn." He expected
the stock to rise, so he was bull"
If he had expected the stock to fall,
tho xrnf11d -oI
shares and sold them, In the hope of
returning the stock when 1t was cheap
err. In this case Johnson would have
been a "bear"
Now, If Johnson had been an invest |
or, and had bought ten shares to take |
home and put in his safe, the brokers' |
fee would have been only $1.25. But |
when Johnson becomes gambler, buys |
100 shares and sells them again, the |
broker collects his commission ON both |
sides Of the transaction. e., when /
Johnson buys and again when he sells.
Also, when Johnson CANDLES, the bank
gets high interest on $4,000 And there
you have, In nutshell, the reason
why the brokers and bankers do not |
abolish gambling In Wall street.
This marginal trading is betting,
not buying. The stocks are not de.iv-
cred to the buyer. He may buy and
sell for weeks or years and never see
a share Of the stock he Is supposed to
possess He is not dealing In proper
ties but merely juggling with the
prices and the names of properties.
