In 1914 Baron Stieglitz in st. Peters
burg went to great expense to have the
news of the treaty of peace conveyed
to him by private courier few hours
before 1t came to the knowledge of the

few hundred thousand rubles. But his
porter to whom he communicated the
news, tried his hand at little specu-
lation OF his own. In an hour or two
he bought up all the lamps he could
find in st. Petersburg, so that in the
evening, when the whole city was
making ready for the illumination, not
single lamp was to he found in any

sold out his stock at price which left
him nice little profit Of $4,000 rubles.
