The PHONE Boy
Keene Hcnchman Gives Wall
Street Tips Gratis at Hook.
; .hg Pool Hearing.

NEW YORK. FEB. 24.-Worus of
stock market wisdom, which have
dropped like molasses in January from
James r. Keene While he was on the
witness stand yesterday, fell smoother
than honey from the Hips of William
Roman, one of the employees in Mr..
keene's Office, Roman is the employee 20
whom MIR. Keenc referred on the stand
sas Willie Romer, The telephone boy"
who had 200 shares OF Hooking and sold
il out just before the pool collapsed.
None else would think of calling him
willie, the telephone boy He is
short, and he is thin, but there is a
and talks as worldly wise as some of
those telephone boys on the floor of
the Stock Exchange. SoTne oil, them are
over 50, and one or two have been mem
beers of the exchange.
Never do nothing down here unless
you Know something" was h first of
Mr.. Romans aNioms. and don't take
lro secondhand tips at that"
lie was asked what he meant by a
secondhand tip.
It's one Of those he replied, pertly,
where a guy says what might say to
you, Buy Steel He might have seen
me in this office. and to prove to you
might have said, You come With me
and I'll prove to you where l got this
tip
$50 he brings you up here and kpocks
at the door. and yo1l see him talk to
me at the door. Then you pass the tip
along to you friends. That's what we
call a secondhand tip. ! might not
know any more about it than you did.
Take it from me. When people get
down here they're as big suckers as OH
tie race track. Bot his is a bigger
game, n some OF the suckers are
bigger"
Smiling sareastieally, if not sardonic-
ally, Mr.. Roman refused to accept re-
s~ponsibility for breaking the Hooking
pool. All that he would admit was that
he sold his stock.
"The stock looked weak" he added.

Roman also volunteered, in response
to. another question. TO present his
views ON conditions in the stock mar

the. emphatic opinion that this is. no
time to buy stocks.
II wouldn't bay nothing at these

Tor me TO buy is when you can get 'em

the floor with both hands,. The only
way TO buy now is to buy 'em and put

IRON TRADE PICKING UP
AFTER TEMPORARY LULL.
Specifications and Buying Near
Normal Conditions.

CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 24.-The Iron
Trade Review today says:
The temporary lull that has been no.
ticed in the iron and steel industry for
the last five or six weeks is gradually
disappearing in most districts, and the
situation taken as a whole is more sat
isfactory than at any time since the
first of the year. A still further Inn
p%roVelnent in market conditions, both
as to new buying and specifications, is
noted in several branches this week.
In some lines where Specifications fell
off slightly during the first week IN
February makers now report that mill
entries are as feavy as at amy time in
January. There is less talk of price
concessions at present, and, while the
spring buying movement in some lines
has not started as yet there appears to
be a much stronger tone to the market
in general.
Demand for merchant bars is incrcas-
ing. Railroads are entering the mar
Eet for bar iron, and this line IS much
stronger than for several weeks. Max
ors rave been unable to show any i'm
p%roven1ent in promised deliveries on
steel bars. Afser delay of some weeks
prospective builders are entering the
market for structural material in fair
~ large lots. Pipe makers are starting
initial shipments on large contracts
paced during the year-end buying
movement. Two or three large orders
now pending likely will be closed in a
few days.

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Feb. 24.-The cotton
market opened steady at an advance of
9 to 10 points in response to relatively
firm cables. There were many over
night selling orders around the ring.
but these offerings were absorbed by
the covering OF recent sellers, and while
fluctuations after the call were narrow
and somewhat irregular the undertone
seemed considerably steadler, owing to
reports Of a better European spot de-
mand, and ruinors that the concen-
trated long interests In the local mar
ket had been pretty well liquidated.
Business was moderately active in the
late forenoon. but after the close of
Liverpool there was rather less demand
and prices eased OF a few points from
the hest. under continued liquidation,
with the market at midday ruling about
s TO II points net higher.
After a reaction to within 5 or 6
points OF last nights finals around
midday, the market turned decidedly
hrrner during the early afternoon on
covering Of shorts and renewed bull
upport with active old crop months
selling up to a net advance of 24425
points, while the new crop showed a
gain OF about 10a13 points.
