Impartial agent in stock dealing leads to scheme
The tale follows a market floor broker system where orders from Tracy Middleton and partners trigger rapid executions through two dollar brokers. Sally, a young clerk, is drawn into bribery and favoritism as he elevates earnings by exploiting the deal flow, while other brokers push for larger commissions. Middleton’s absent watchword and the pressure of floor culture drive risky trades and rising temptation.
