The bigger the market grows, the
more specialized becomes the busi
ness of serving meals in the offices
ofthe financial district. One saml

branches in Wall street, has six
telephone operators in each shop
who do nothing but tnke orders to

The blpger cafes in tho district,
where executives dine with some
leisure in norma! limes, send wait
ers Willi menus through all the of
fices in their vicinity on six-million
ehure days. The brokers and
their associates glance quickly cVr
the menus, and each checks il-e
ordt-r he wants filled. "Turkey
and coffee." says one; "boullhoii
and sweetbreads," nn other. Pres
ently a platoon of waiters comes up

In rceilt months most brokerai:.
houses, which five years ago look
ed toward tliree-milllou'-share days
on ihe exchange as all but Impos
sible, havo expanded their clerical
staffs so that they are equipped t"
handle the present volume of twice
that much trading. The rocont bull
market has not put them in rjfcli
straits to keep their books up lo
date as did that of last spring.
Bu the employes still work long
into the night, for the bonks must
balance before they are closed, and
if It is 2 or 3 o'clock in tiie morn
ing of the next day before things
aro shipshape, the clerks luke the
subway under the East river to
hotels on the Brooklyn shore irhi-in
where they sleep for n few houis,
in rooms reserved by the houses
which employ them, before hasten
ing back at dnwn to be ready for
another day.
Many n broker's clerk, in such
seasons, does not see his family
from one week end to the next, but
there is no complaining, for the
spirit of tiie stock market Is con
tagious, and the merest call boy
knows that tin years hence bo
may be able to buy u seat on tho
exchange.. Bonuses are big and
promotions rapid, and, most im
portant of all, there Is a feeling
of being a plnyer in the bigger
game in the biggest city In Hi-world.
