HELeARNs SOMETHING
ABOUT HIGH FINANCE

New York. April 27.-Although a
speculator in Wall street for many
years. State Senator Patrick n Nc
Carren of New York. has learned
something he did not know before
about high finance. When the receiv-
er for the defunct brokerage firm of
Ennis G Stoppani called on him for
settlement of his accounts OF $780,
600 the senator said he would pay
the amount il the receiver returned
to him $500 shares of Amalgamated
Copper; 1000 of b. R T. shares, and
1000 shares OF the United States Rub
Der first preferred. The receiver was
unable to find this stock as il had long
ago been disposed of in the market.
But accepting McCarren's offer, the
receiver went into the market and
purchased the required stock at about
$100 900 less than the similar shares
had originally cost McCarren. He
thereupon traded the shares for Nc
Carren's check for nearly $4,000 900
On being questioned by the receiv-
er as to any assets of the firm OF
which she might have knowledge, Mrs.
Thomas Ennis, wife Of the head OF the
firm, expressed her willingness to
turn over to the receiver all of her
private fortune to pay creditors.
