As I do not know whether you are familiar with the Exchange, I will tell you that Stern is an eminent coffee-merchant in Hamburg, who always employed Last and Co.

Quite accidentally I found that out--I mean that bungling business of Busselinck and Waterman.

They had offered to reduce the brokerage by one-fourth per cent.

They are low fellows--nothing else.

And now look what I have done to stop them.
