Sharley Pates says if any von
hat tapped his Vashington vire er any utter Capitol vire dis veek he vould
haf tought dere vas a Senate, House, unt Kabinet roll-gall on. Deh topes
say 'Cam' vill nefer led dat fat punch off grafters slite out mit real
money if he gan help id unt deh game iss endirely in his hands."
"I agree with you, Ike. If I had the steering of this killing I don't
think I would take any chance of tempting them to dump and grab the
profits by carrying it much over 200. But you can't tell what 'Cam' and
those four-eyed dentists at 26 Broadway will do."
"Yes, put der iss anudder t'ing, Cho, dat makes me sit up unt plink about
her goin' ofer two hundred. To-morrow's Friday der t'irteenth."
"Of course, Ike, that is something to be reckoned with, and every man on
the floor and in the Street as well has his eye on it. Friday, the 13th,
would break the best bull market ever under way. You and I know that, Ike,
and the dope shows it too, but you have got to stack this up against it on
this trip: no man on the floor knows what Friday the 13th, means better
than Barry Conant. He has worked it to the queen's taste many a time. Why,
Barry would not eat to-day for fear the food would get stuck in his
windpipe.
