Day after day there has baca a sorging, howling, seething crowd around the Jobbers, who have made themselvesjhparro with shout- ing prices. Brokern" have had to fight their way to the sides of the dealers, and clerts who ›wanted to reach 'ike jobbers bavo bad to make their way through the equivalent of half a dozen Rugby #scrums," addres

"It has been a fiise time for these clerks, for though they have had to work practically night and day they have had their reward in vastly increased rates of payment. In fact, competent clerks have been able to command almost any price they liked, and a Luizen au bour has been quits a common bonorarium.... P
