Onl returning to Wall Street I chose
threo different brokers-ono a "bull"
house, one a "bear" houso,-and on a 1
"conservative" houso. By this I
hoped to get all sorts of opiilons. I
got them.
With any "bears" I sold St. Paul I
short. There was talk of rust, grass- t<
hoppors, rains, floods. St. Paul would
tuniblo to the centre. It had already q
advanced from 18 to 69. I sold at 09, 0
70 and 71.
With tle "bulls" I bought Pacific s(
Mail. No danger of grasshoppers on
Pacifle Mail. No drought, no, floods t

sat the Democratic party should re
