MAKES $4,000 BY FIRE
Stock Buried in Equitable Ruins
Increases in Value.

An ant illustration Of the old saw about
an IN wind came to light yesterday, when
a curb broker announced that the Equitable
fire had filed the pockets OF one Of his Gus
toners with money to burn. On the morn
ing of the fire the customer made up his
mind 10 sell a number of shares OF Stand
ard oil subsidiaries and proceeded down
town TO give the order to his broker. When
he arrived he found that his stock was
deep down under several hundred tons OF
smouldering ruins.
Although anxious TO get ria Of his hod-
ings. the customer was dissuaded from sell
ing on delayed delivery, inasmuch az 1t was
uncertain whether the stock would be
good delivery" when exhumed. BY the
time the vaults were opened the stock was
worth $4,000 more than on the day OF the
fire. AS the stock was unharmed, the own
er ordered it sold.
The incident recalled 10 Wall Street men
the time when the committee on admissions
Of the New York Stock Exchange put sO"v
into the pocket OF Camille Weidenfeld by
preventing him from disposing Of his seat
on the exchange when he had determined
TO sell. Late in 1907 Mr.. Weidenfelds seat
was posted for transfer to proposed MEM
ber for $4,000. but the committee on admis-
sions failed to admit the proposed member.
Mr.. Weidenfed later received $4,000 for MIS-
seat from ]. Victor Onativia, jr.
