WALL ST. MILLIONS
CARRIED BY BOYS
Five Hundred Commission
Houses Entrust $150,000,.
900 to Youthful Messengers

NEW YORK. Oct. 2.-Running and
lodging through the streets Of the finan-
cia, d,strict In these days OF tremendous
dealings In war stocks scurries small
army OF messenger boys, who carry
strapped to their waists small fortunes
in negotiable securities and certified
checks. They are scarcely noticed In
tho crush Of spectators and clerks. but
they carry bits Of paper worth In the
aggregate 900 day.
Small, insignificant youngsters they
are, with old, battered leather wallets
chained to them. but they are the Wis
ible manifestation Of the fortunes that
are made these days In the street. 1t Ia
not unusual for a boy to be standing
, with $500, 900 tackled onto him which he
has forgotten in the spell OF the wom-
ans oratory. They are Just bits OF pa
per to him; bits OF paper with funny
markings.
Since the rush Of popular speculation
| hit Wall Street the commission houses
have been hiring new boys every day.
/ There are about 800 OF these houses In
/ tho money district. and they employ an
| average OF ave boys each who carry

to the transfer offices. and checks to be

system by which a check is kept upor
all securities sent to the banks. II one

II mighty hard Job to dispose OF them

MY latest effort. and my first for

Absolute harmony must exist be-

and a bond OF good fellowship must
characterize the two important cle-

voritism in the studio must disap-

incredulity.. Wheat traders. however.
quickly woke up when the reports were
confirmed from the South DakotaB Agri-
cultural college, and II was stated the
conditions were exactly the kind to pro-
mote a spread of the plague. Almost
simultaneously the fact developed that
exporters were buying much more freely
than has recently been the case.
Throughout the rest of the session
prices continued on the upgrade with an
urgent general demand headed by a big
rush OF shorts. knowing the crop infec-
ton appeared az yet to be restricted to
Just q few points.
Pressure from receiving houses indi-
eating hedging sales from the harvest
districts OF Illinois and other regions
nearby was chiefly Responsible for the
heaviness OF the wheat market before the
black rust scare began. Even after the
market as q whole was scoring an ad-
vance. the July option showed less viEor
than the later deliveries. When trading
was at stand the greater part OF pre-
mtums for cash wheat here. as compared
with July. had disappeared.
Good weather tended to make corn

Oats moved up more readily than corn.
Decreasing stocks acted as more than an
offset for favorable advices regarding the
crop.
Provisions sympathized with grain.
