DOUBLES FORTUNE, Swelis' It From $40,000,000 To $80,000,000. New York, Jan. 24.--Cornelius Van- derbilt and his younger Lrother Al fred, have come to the front in Wall street as most skilful market opera tors. Cornelius is -confining- himself to the stock of the Interhorough and Ii- linois Central, His wvounger brother, however, to whom the bulk of the fa- mily fortune was bequeathed, ranges over the entire list. He is reported to be a holder of a very large line of stocks and bonds © of semi-speoulutive character, Cornelius has gone about his deals in a substantial way, having taken 30,000 shares of Iuterborough at its begining and stayed with it. That, with his Illinois Central and a line of smelters has netted him about $2- 000,000 in the last few months. Bat Alfred is a real bargain hunt er. Let stocks break wildly for a few days and he appears at hig broker's office smiling and hallish. He patron. ize8 a big house in lower Wall street, and when he is in the office practical ly the. entire force of brokers and clerks are in his employ. He buys in huge blocks quigkly, withowy haggling over fractions and settles with a cheque before going home. He has been known to put as much as $10, 000.000 in stocky in a single day through this one firm. If there is a sudden rise following stokks come pouring owt as easily as they were picked up and then nothin more is done by the young wan unti something happens ~ to. disturb "the street, % ast summer when stocks were just r to move upward, he was seen in the stroet for several davs in uccession, Several who 'knew his pe culiar habits hurried and stocks. He ELTER. 'Toronto. below Liberty street, Late in Deen ber he appeared and was apparent! selling stocky. It was said persons raving over Lhe ticker in the Lawson panic saw him flitting through Wall street. He has not been there since and those who want to know when the thp is near are anxiously keeping an eye on hi brokers' office for his appearance. Usually he makes his visits to the street the occasion of taking his brokers out for luncheon at a down- town restaurant much patronized by brokers. x The extent of his operations. is of course, a secret, but from general ap pearance one who has followed him carefully estimates that he must have doubled in Wall 'street the fortune of $10,000,000 left him four years ago.
