The Wall Street Game.

The burning question on Wall street
is always whether stocks will go up or
down. If any man were able to an
swer it correctly he could make him
self millionaire in day. but Specu
lation is neither fortune telling nor n.
gambling game. and the man who be-
lieves otherwise is bound Ia lose his
money and to join the ranks Of the dis
consulate, Disguised and depleted who
make the cutlery against the evils Of
Wall street. says Leslie's Weekly
The winner in Wall street is gifted
with the same business characteristics
that bring success I'D any line of enter
prise He utilizes them in buying and
selling stocks. just as he would if he
were engaged in merchandising. He
knows, for instance that prosperous
conditions are reflected by what are
called the bank exchanges. by railway
earnings, the record of failures. the
condition of the iron market, the bal
ance of trade and especially the out
look for the crops.
