Finance as She Is Wrote.

To add to troubles of the Wall street man forced to spend his summer in the city comee the necessity of employing a substitute-stenographer in vacation season.. Wall street diction is hard enough for the regular stenographer; the substitute finds it next to Impossible. The employer of ©ne of the substitutes not long ago tried to be particularly careful and distinct in his dictation. Nevertheless, “comtroller of the currency” -emerged as “comptroller of the corn belt.” A remark about the drought district in Kansas’’ was interpreted as "grouch In Kansas." ' Reverting to money matters again, the employer talked about taking bullion into the Bank of England, and the copy showed that bouillon soup had been taken into the bank. Right there the bell rang for a new typist.—Wall Street Journal.
