with others over the long period Although ho was in many deals of his activity, the most specta- cular, and incidentally the most profitable of his tremendous cperations, were entirely on his own hook. The amount of stock which Mr. Field could and did ewing was tromendous. Many of his follow traders undor-. estimated his resources and tried to "slap" him with so much stock that he would simply take all stock offered and then proceed to bid up the market for more, if he was bullish, or offer moro, if baarishi.

VICTORY, AND DEFEAT.

One of the most tempestuous battles of his long career was with Jesse L. Livermore, in Baldwin Locomotive. Livemore, then known as the "boy trader" and with pig resourcos because.. of recent successús, started to sell Baldwin after Field had ac- quired a big line of it. Some in Wall Street say this line was about 100,000 shares and that it stood him around $100 a share. Livermore who at that time made most of his momey on the short sido, decided the stock was too high and started to sell it, con- tinuing to pour stock into the market up to $110 a share. Field tonk most of it and added con- INTERESTING RELIC inously to his line. The posi
