How Wy Street Fakir Skews Wall Street Scene
A garbled 1898 New York page depicts a street fakir near the Exchange, selling counterfeit images and strange props to traders while shouting mock phrases about cards and novelty items. The excerpt blends a Wall Street fakir vignette with an unrelated 1898 government beef and mutton procurement notice for various posts, including Fort Mifflin and San Antonio. A pasted section shows bids for fresh beef and mutton with delivery terms across military posts in the south and southwest.
