MARKET MANIPULATION 109 



"Good for one hundred and fifty thousand 

 dollars in gold. 



Marquand and Dimock. 

 To 

 Charles Woerishoeffer & Co. 



To 

 Lockwood & Co. 



To 

 Marquand & Dimock." 



This due-bill with one for forty thousand for 

 Myers and ten thousand gold would be sent to 

 Woerishoeffer, who would pay for them as two 

 hundred thousand dollars coin. Later in the 

 day the due-bills would come back to us through 

 Lockwood and Myers, when we would pay for 

 them as so much gold. Often the due-bills went 

 through half a dozen or more hands and in times 

 of scarcity a large percentage of the deliveries 

 of gold were cleared in this crude way.
