BACHE, head of one of the largest brokerage firms in W street, protests against ‘any legista- tion injurious to the New York Stock Exchange,” adding that The World’s bill introduced at Albany t stop stock gambling “is an att aimed at the welfare of the city Wew York.” His argument is that ACK of ness.”’ by W. C. Cormweil, firm, to the New York Bank Clerks’ Association a year ago: “Because, much maligned as is what is known as ‘Wall street,’ force which has made possible the wonderful development of our country, and the thing which, if it had never existed, would have left the prairies uninhabited except by the coyotes and the wild flowers, and if suddenly swept out of existence now would make of this great commonwealth a _ blackened ruin, as dead as the crumbling stones of Nineveh and Babylon.” ian, oy sod There are a few chronological errors in Mr. Cornwell's statements.
