The entire list will be called by the lady caller on ‘change the lady brokers armed with the “bids” of their gentlemen clients will clamor for the shares in true broker style, getting them at the best price possi- ble, and then when the bids for the mysteriously held stock are up to the holder’s market—why then will come the word “SOLD” and the lady caller ef the Stock Exchange will just slam down her mallet, ° signalizing the “Trade;’’ and the recording secretary of the “Board” will book the transac-| tion regularly, professionally, and the popular Red Cross fund will have | keen augmented that much. The lady brokers will not charge ony commissions for trades in Red | Cross securities. | It is predicted that the Red Cross | “call” on Saturday will witness 4) bullish market. ; Every pik well of every oil com- Pany;the stock of which is dealt.in' on “change,’ will be a gusher. , \ panes hs Shee es art adem T+ (Continued on Page Four) I gotiate Sales as Week Nears Close; Forces Strain Efforts for Final Drive to Begin Saturday Morning 1!
