mc have a trick of petting rich suddenly, und thai

L'lews, a well-known figure for many years |>as

years of this life and still Ive, at ihe end of thai

ii nd lie kept, on iu the vain endeavor to rt'ri've
ktesalf, but disaster foib.wed disaster, until he
was Jeir with nothing. Doging the heyday of his
pros-ienty his liberality was extraordinary. Mr.
Clews says there is no j-iralh'' to it in "thc ar?
chives of Wall Street since the days of the first
mattiBga of the brokers in th*- Tontine Coffee House,
OppoaltO tho ||tinmine tree, early in the century."
Hf is sa.d to have made presents ol seats ta the
board to as many as twenty perseus.
There are many stories of rapid growth in for?
tune more wonderful thM this, though few, per?
haps, more melodramatic. The creation of tba
first Vanderbilt fort'.me, the enormous iieeretions
to it made by William II. Vanderbilt, thc Gould
fortune, and many o'hers, ure lar more remark?
able. No such examples of rapid accumulation
have ever been seen in tho history of the nice.
" In seventy yea?," says Mr. Clews, " tha Com?
modore arose from nothing, financially, lo be the
proud possessor of 100,000,000. William II, ob?
tained $75,000,000 of that, and nearly trebled it
in a tenth part of the tune. He made titree times
as much in keven yt.a? as his father mude in
Mt.-nty, or he made tm much, on an average, every
two and a half years, as liis father had done during |
the three score and ten of his active business and 1
. |*ceulntiv. career." This rcmarknb]. achieve- n
Mient, contrary to the usual run of life, which , t]
.hows thHt very few great millionaires have bad j -
children capable of increasing their wealth, leads
Mr. (lews to ihe. conclusion thal Willinm H. Van- | ,
derbilt was " th. ablest financier of which there
ii any record, either la ancient or modern history"'
It is not gen. rally known that William H. Van?
derbilt bad demoiistratid dis ability as a railroad
manager before his father had fairly begun in that
linc. His first experience was ;n connection with
tte Staten Island Railroad, thirteen 0jiles in
length. It was bankrupt, and William II. w..s (|f
Appoint, d .rr/on., at the secret suggestion of the J q^
Commodore, who wanted to learn the capacity of (-,
his son in Ihis direction. In two years the, debt! _t
was paid off, and the sleek which had been worth- ' Ml,
Icm rose to 1 TS. This pleased the Commodore, ' -j
iinti when ht mad" liis first gre,it railrcad venture, | rii
in securing control of the Harlem, he made his soi J ?f
vice-president of the, whole Vanderbilt system. I c},
Hg became an indefatigable worker, and it was j < ,f
doubtless this ha')it ol buri work, persisted in for, __,
many years, that resulted in so sudden and com- th
parutia cly premuture death for a member of a fam I lia
ily famous for its longt-vlty throughout sci oral wi
generations. He scrutinized every bill, check a
and voucher, and Inspected every engine. Ho wi
ti,
carried on a vast correspondence with his ?
hand. When emt tgcncics came, he showed prom
ness and shrewdness in meetine Ila m. Bia t

hntion of $1 on,ooo among the sirikmg cmpl<?\
of his road_, and promising tin in that the ten [
cent lately taken fiann theil WSfH should be
stored as soon as improved business would just!
it, no doubt prevented n repetition, in this city,
tho fearful nnd costly riots of Pittsburg.
1 The early history of this vast fortune is ainu
romantic. Thc mrdcrn architects of "corner
should read Mr. C'ews's account, of the giggs
operations of thc Comm* doro. In ihe Hudson " r
nor"' the fighting wns forced upon him, as it seei
to have been in almost all. It is sai*! that he ii
set out for a long vacation, and waa maning lu
self on a pile of logs on the Jersey side of tha Mn
son, while his yacht lay in tho Stream, when a nu
senger brough! word from Wall Street that a be
clique were selling Hudson stock " short," and tli
t it was going down fast. He hastened to Wall Stn
and ordered his brokers to take all the selle
1 options offered in Hudson. All the cash atook
the market, was then taken ns rapidly ns poaaibl
t, " A brief taltai h. tl ia siiowed that the buyers li;
secured, cither as cash or ns contract stock, i
the Hudson stock in existence, with the exeepti*
of a HBall number of iharct whieh were n*>t e
patted to come upon the market. The prolil
brain of the Commodore thea invented a new mn'
in thc game. A number of lending " bear bonsai
were requested to " turn'* Hudson, which means
buy it for cash from the cornering party, and s**
it back to them on buyers' options for perioi
varying from ten to thirty days. Th
able ruse was intended to impress tl
buyers with thc idea that thc cornerin
party wns weak It .seemed os if tin
were short of cash. So the leading baye
grasped at n good chance, as they imagine*
of ttirninjr several thousand shares, and instant!
threw the cash stock on thc market. It WI
privately picked up by the brokers of the gre..
eornerer.'" Then tho trap was sprung-. Tli
sellers" options began to mature, and there was n
Hudson stock to he had. It rose to 1 ?*(.>. A fea
mornings before, when the Commodore wns baakic
in the sun, it had been 11 '.*. The loss ra a bundie
shares was *fl.S,*0, and Die bears were under coi:
ttaet to deliver about 50,000 shares. Mr. Claw
continues:
Hut tlie worst part of tlie deal for them DOC
animals had yet to COB?. The bears who ba*
turned tue stock were notified thal they mus
stand .ml deli.er. They complained bitterly o
the ingratitude ol the hulls, whom they had onli
sought to oblige by turning ti:-- stock. lb
bulb were implacable, however, and demande*

was moat exacting Ikey were willing to lem
stock at five i er cent i>cr day. Some <>: tho bean

end, after j.tying five per cent a dey Eu- severs
dayl these poor victims bough) the Stock at thc
kith rat* nnd sd lied.
Hus double move in turning the ttock was th*
sbleat trick that had ever been accomplished ii

In thal line.
Hut the best part of the Stratagem wns thnt
wherein the hulls sa. id themselves frovi hoi nfl
saddled wiih the whole stock, and mado immensi
profits OUt Of the deal.
While some of the boars **,ere purchaaing tc
cover nt 17a, Vanderbilt's private brokers were
selling at lin, the clique thus craftily m.!" an .
al good pa/in:*' figure? Tins wan one ol ike lieai
inside moa * s in the whole history ol " oornera."
The bulls thus saved themselves from the risk
of being loaded with probably thc whob, or al
any rate the greater port ot tha capital stock, and
through the Commodore's aide management tbe
Lad waa oomboratively light ;.t. the end ol * ie
deal, the property remaining aa good a speculative
as before, which is a rare exception in corners."
Thc Harlem "corner"' wns in some respects the
more remarkable, tin.nth Mr. Clews considers the
Hudson "corner," on the whole, the greatest of
all. Commodore Vanderbilt's first Harlem Stock
was bouuht in l ISS, al eight or nine dollars a shari-,
as an Investment. Thirty year- before Uris he
had refused to buy the same stock, laying: " I nm
a steamboat man, a competitor of these Steam con?
trivances that,you tell us will run on dry land.
Qt ahead. I wish you well, but I never shall have
anything to do with them."' He n,ade improve?
ment, la thc toad, and it was predicted that
I.*' would lose in railroad., all be had made out
pf steamboats. The stock gradually rose, however,
to BO. Something was evidently on foot, and win ri
tire Common Council, in April, 1863, passed an
rdinancc authorizing him t<> build a au am railn ad
Iowa Broadway to the Uarbry, the cat was out
>f the bag. Harlem then advanced to 75, and the
Aldermen of that day, who wen' as keen after
Doodle as tome of ile ir aueecasors, began t<* s< ll
t -- short."' The acheme waa to aell " short" ail
the stock the market, would take, and then repeal
the ordinance. They expected to see the stock
irop below 50. Daniel Drew was with them in
ins plot The Commodore (heed them with chnr
r'teristic Courage. He called his Mends to his
lid and they bought all the " shorte" that were
iffcred The Aldermen and their fellow eon
pintara had soon sold more Harli rn Stock than
bera waa In existence, not dreaming that the
Vanderbilt clique bad it all. When tho virtuous
awmaken thought the time was ripe they re?
lented tho ordinanoe and every one looked to s ??
he atook fall with a eraah, burying Vanderbilt
index its rains. But to the smasement ol avery
ne, it dropped only three pointe, to 72, whereto
hey hud looked to MO it go to 50. The " shorts"
'egan to buy to protect themselves The stock
lent up to 150?170, and Dually and at last 17'.).
he Aldermen had to settle at this figure, ami are
aid to have lost a million, while theil friends
sst several more. The Commodore's share of the
rofita was five or six millions.
Not long after tho Legislature tried the same
rick upon the Commodore, bat with even nu rc
isastioiis results. He had secured control of the
bidson River Bailroad by buying stock, nnd had
bo positive assurance thnt the LrgialatUft would
ass a bili ooaaoltdating it with the Harlem. On
lie strength of this, Harlem went up from 75 to
50. The numbers of thc Legislature, who were
l thc combination, sold "-abort," and then iinex
cctediy defeated the bill, while the Commodore
M buying stock heavily, looking for a rise. It
ambled from 150 to 10. If uh*' members had
ought and delivered at 'jo, they would have
iken millions out of Vanderbilt, pocket, bnt they
ere not content. The stock mutt gu to 50. This
us the gravest crisis m his career. Bul be forme I
sashes samhiimtlaa with five millions in (rash as

lnle the men at Albany had gone BO crazy over
ie prospect ot putting the stock down to _ or '.<

D.000 more shares than orara in existence. Whoa

After nearly thirty years' experience in Wall
Street, Mr. flews's redpa for making money there
ought to he worth quoting. "There has hardly
been a var within my recollection Koinie back
nearly thirty years when there have not beea
squalls in th*' Street during the year, when it
was poaaibb to purchase Stocks below their in?
trinsic value. "Iii" >*<jn?] 1 usually passc.1 over in
a fey.- days, and I hen the lanky buyers of stocks
at panic prices came in for their profits ranging
from live to ten per cent on the entire venture.'"
If the opeealstSf will reserve his strength for
these periods, ami steer clear of the slippery "ti|*s"
of th*- professional " pointers'1 of the Stock 1.x
chanKe, Mr. Clews thinks they may easily realize
a net (-ain of 50 pol cent per annum on the ag?
gregate of their Invettmenta Ona <>f the signs,
ncconluu' ttl liim, nf the approach of these periods
is the visits of old veterans who are never seen
la the Street at other tums and who have lu en
lotting their bank balance arv.umuhito for such
emergenciet. " Watch the ominous visil.s to the
Street of theM old men," says Mr. Clew**. " They
are as certain to bo seen on thc evo of a panic
as spillers OrttpiBf steinlily ami noiselessly from
tie ir cobwebs just. Ix-fore rain."'
Bal Wall Street is much more than S centre

of its life Mr. Clews gives much attention. He

maintained, an Intimate fellowship with Maurice
speaks strongly for the liberality of his views;
though after be became Archbishop some of his
