Samuel Byerley, a young man of little means, formerly a clerk in a newspaper office, has startled even Wall-street operators by an exhibition of "nerve," says the New York correspondent of the "Daily Chronicle."
He is h successful bidder for the new Panama bonds to the extent of 6,000,000 dollars. The flotation was so successful that the price has already advanced, and Mr Byerley can sell his option at once if he chooses, and g^in a comfortable fortune by the transaction, without expending a single dollar.
