changes on the floor" itself. Not only has it changed physically but the types have altered.
 There are now but 8 dozen of the old-time 'floor-traders" left. A floor trader was fellow who operated solely for himself or an individual client, as against the brokers agents who represent many accounts. Not so long ago there were a couple of hundred of them. Jay Gould was one of the most spectacular of this group; and Jim Fiske.
 These were the boys of the shirt-tearing days, because their own money was involved and they stormed, ragged and tore when cor nered. When a thousand or more men are looking after the interest of others, they become little more than recording machines.
 Thus the appearance of com- parative calm in terrible storm.
 Only the sounds and the off stage scenes are ominous-souEds which pillow up like roaring surf and carry outside whore Jake stands viewing his over-supply Of carnations and wondering what the world is coming to.

BROKERS TOO BUSY
 FOR HAIR TEARING
FeyeriSh Activity on Stock Mar ket But No Panic

New York, Nov. At the en- j tranceway of the New York stock exchange, Jake-the carnation man who decorates the buttonholes of a thousand Wall street traders--con- tcmplated sadly his stock of left overs.
 Generally he is sold out before noon, and about so per cent of the lapels on the floor" are decorated with a bright posy. Now one could count the boutonnieres. Thus, even before entering the squat grey build ing, one of the sinister off-stage notes could be found in the brusque manner with which most everyone brushed by. In their terrif- lc haste they were forgetting con- pletely a custom which raised Jake from the status of a shne-boy to that of an affluent flower merchant Everyone was too busy to think of . traditions.
 For it was a typical day during the worst of the great stock slump And the scene therein is one which is denied even to the eyes of the New Yorker. The average man who has been hit or missed by the cost

 Too Busy for Emotions
 They haven't time to tear off coats or paw the air. They're too busy recording changes and keep ing in touch with the brokerage firms they represent.
 It requires something like HOO marionettes to help them in this task. Of these, 700 are page boys and 300 are phone boys. The phone boys stick to series of parallel cubby-holes, like booths in "a drug store. The pages wear uniforms with symbols on their sleeves - for there arc quotation boys, squad boys, tube boys and floor reporters. They are the go- betweens for the hectic figures which fairly jam the vast space.
 When they are wanted, signals flash on in the form of huge num- bers on a giant board. Each man on the floor has his particular numbers. If he decides to- leave for a quick smoke, the trader leaves boy to watch for his call number
 Expensive Smoking
 There is rule against smoking on the floor. The fine is $25. But such has been the nerve strain that some gladly pay the money for the privilege of a cigaret. One member, who most mcticulously follows the code in ordinary times, so forgot himself that he had spent S225 in fines in a single morning. To give proper air to

 Curious Are Barred
 To begin with, the ominous note reflected at the doorway was repeated by the super caution of the array of guards sprinkled through the railways. The vis- itors' gallery was empty. The or der had gone forth that in these trying days the usual curious ones were to be barred. Where usually 50 or more persons look on, now only a guard wandered back and forth.
 As he paced restlessly by, the giant tape which crawls across a huge glass cage registered a few stock symbols and few numerals
 There goes s39.00O,0cO," said the attendant The tape slowly continued it's revolutions A few more millions wiped out - an1 then few more. Before night it would record losses into the bill lion.
 With such financial disaster in the air, one would expect to find some sign Of panic upon the floor. Thanks to the movies and certain fictions, there is a notion that traders off their ties and their shirts and become slightly mad Such things may have happened. But not at a time when calls are coming in faster than they can be filled and when the ticker is hours

then a newspaper owner, half of France clamored for revision of the sentence which had sent the former army officer to Devils 1s- land for life. The other half Of France opposed revision.

 Free Lances Are Busy
 Hundreds of them being new to 'the floor,' they wear large but tons with their numbers and names on them so that the page boys will not get confused. They are further identified by colored squares attached to the call board which differentiates their numbers from those of the brokers agents. For them it is a temporary bon anza time. For their commissions come in whether d sale or a pur- chase has been made. And the agents of some of the biggest firms have been so flooded with orders that a huge "overflow" bus mess has gone to the free dances.
