Queer Patter of the Man Who "cries"
the Sales, and Why.
A deaf man coming into the auc-
ton room while sale is in progress
might believe that the auctioneer is
an automaton, for he stares straight
before him with seemingly unseeing
eyes, his lips moving ceaselessly and
rapidly and with machine like mo-
ton, which continues for many min
utes at a time apparently without a
pause for breath, while his cheeks are
fluttering like the TANKS of a spent
horse. The auctioneer's profit is in
a commission, and, as his commission
is the greater according as his sales
are more, it is to his interest to keep
things moving at top speed, for the
property he is selling is of too little
value to make delay worth while on
the chance of running up the price of
any single article.
Number 396-gold filled case, Swiss
movement" (the use of the nominative
watch" is superfious), cries the at
tendant at the showcase, passing the
article toward the auctioneer. Five
dollars, four dollars, three dollars, two
dollars, one dollar" is the form of
that functionary's chant, beginning at
a top price and running it down un-
til it is accepted by bidder, when
it may be run up again. However,
the auctioneer of unredeemed pledges
is not so prodigal of time and vocal
effort as to use the entire word dol
lar" or to make two syllables of his
numerals. Philology and articulation
are sacrificed to celebrity. Six and
eight are the only two numbers he
pronounces in full. He says nj for
nine, sew for seven, fl for five, or TO
for four, tit for three. tee for two. and
dee for dollar, and employs the old
New York state shillings-twelve and
a half cents-in the verbal subdivis-
ion of the dollar, not only to reduce
syllable confusion, but to prevent the
raising of bids less than twenty-five
cents at a time. Thus a dollar and
quarter becomes dol-tee; a dollar and
half, dol-fo, and a dollar and sew
enty-five cents, dol-sX. Likewise bids
must advance at least twenty-five
cents at time, since an advance of
twelve and a half cents is out of the
question. and such advances as five,
ten or twenty cents are impossible.
Articles of very trifiing value are oc-
casionally hidden up in cents, to be
sure, but the necessity does not often
occur.-Frank Marshall White in Har-
per's Weekly.
