明治二十二年(1889)春,親友某氏,訪余山莊,某氏係賣蠶絲為業,曰︰「今年橫濱絲價大昂,勢必隨日騰貴,欲歸吾鄉奧州,多請為之,占一大利,請占其得失。」筮得否之訟。

此卦天升而在上,地降而在下,擬之物價,有高低懸隔之象。

《彖》辭曰「大往小來」,明明言去出之金大,而收人之利小也。據此占,則有損無利必矣。

在足下以生絲為商業,際此時機,固未可袖手旁觀,當授一有盈無虧之計。

爻辭曰:「包承,小人吉,大人否亨」,吾勸足下歸于奧州,買賣生絲,可效牙保之行,今日所買,即今日賣之,獲利雖微,保無虧耗,萬不可作一拋萬金之想。所謂「包承,小人吉」,蓋明言小利則吉也,若必以巨萬購買,恐貨方買入,而時價低落,且各處蠶絲販集,貨多價跌,恐後日價亦未必再騰也,謂之「大人否」。

後某氏趨福島地方,從事生絲賣買,一時絲市騰貴,人皆爭購,未幾,價忽低落,買者均多損失。氏獨信此占,斯不虧本,且得微利。
