BULL IN THE PENNY MARKET

VISIONS OF WEALTH.
Treasury Supply Of "Lincoln Heads
Exhausted Before the Close Of
Business Yesterday.

The supply of the new Lincoln pennies.
bearing the three initials of the designer.
has been exhausted. so far distribution
at the Treasury Department is concerned.
The word that they were ''al gone" was
issued shortly before the Treasury oulid-
ing was closed yesterday.
Immediately the bulls of the juvenile
curb market outside ran up the price.
From three for nickel the figure jumped
to two for a nickel, nickel apiece four
for a quarter. and dime apiece. some
asked as much as twenty-five cents each,
and refused to take less.
Since Secretary MacEeagh decided last
Thursday that Y. ID. Bremen, the oe-
sgner of the new penny. had given 100
much prominence TO his initials and or
dered that the coinage should cease uhtil
the die could be recut. the neWsboyS nave

Lively Bidding Among brokers. !"
Nearly a hundred messengers and news
bows were in line when the last "N. d. Is.
went down the line the boys could hardly
realize what had befallen them. Some,
with crestfalen. disappointed faces, Wept
out their troubles outside.
Others who had either sold short and
had to have pennies to cover their sales
or with the thought of buying as low as
possible before the brokers on the curb
learned that the pennies had all been paid
out. took their places among the buyers
and began bidding on everything offered.
1t did not take long for those who had
stocks on hand to appreciate that some
thing had happened. When the curb
brokers saw so many small human fry
among their customers they guessed that
the source of supply had failed, and the
market became firm. When they learned
that the pennies were all gone the prices
went up by leaps and bounds, and some
refused to sell at any price. believing
that they could get their own figure
within a few days.

SHOE SIZES.

How the Standard Of Measurement
Was Established.
It is most difficult for many persons
to remember the sizes Of their differ
ent articles of wearing apparel. COL
lars. shirts and gloves are easy enough,
because in the case Of these it Is q
matter Of actual inches. But the hat
and shoe numbers are what puzzle
most people. to say nothing Of the
mystery why a No. II stocking goes
with No. 6 shoe.
explained. Stockings have always
been measured by the inch from heel
to toe. but the numbering Of shoes
was fixed long time ago by French
man.
The Ffenchman permanently fixed
the numbers Of shoes for all Europe
and America. He arbitrarily decided
that no human foot could possibly be
smaller than three and seven-eighth
inches. So. calling this point zero, he
allowed one-third Of an inch to size
and accordingly built up his scale. 1t
follows therefrom that a man cannot
find out the number Of his own shoe
unless he be an expert arithmetician.
Even then he is likely to so wrong.
because all the shoe experts allow for
the weight Of the individual and the
build Of his foot before they try to
determine what size shoe he ought to
wear.
As far as women's shoes are con-
cerned the problem Is still more dill
cult, because many Of the manufac-
turers instead Of keeping to the regu-
lar scale have marked down their
numbers one or two sizes in order to
capture easily fattered customers. For
this reason most dealers ask out Of
town customers to send an old shoe
with their orders.
The system Of measuring hats is
much simpler. Any man can tell what
size he wears simply by adding the
width and length Of the inner brim
and then dividing by two. Orders can
also be sent to the shopkeeper by
stating the circumference OF the head.
