He immediately went out and purchased the entire supply of black crepe, which was available in London and its vicinity. When the Prince Consort died shortly thereafter, Grant, who by then had a corner on the entire available quantity of morning crepe, disposed of his holdings for a neat profit of more than a quarter of a million dollars.
