noon
The whole Street was a Bedlam , so they ` phoned me , and the newspapers were issuing `` panic '' extras . `` Tell Davis to stop buying now , '' I ordered . `` Let it be known that Colton has secured control and is satisfied . '' At noon the figure was 700 bid and 800 asked . There was no trading at all , for the sufficient reason that no shares were to be had . Johnson came in to ask if he should bring my luncheon . I bade him clear out and let me alone .
