TI,oro il sonle talk about asking our Bonrd Of
Trndo TO adopt rl1lo similar to that of tho Now
York Stock Exchange, Which provides that any
member who fails to comply with his contracts,
or becomes lnaolyent, shall he suspended until
hc has Bctto.l with Lis crcdtpre and makes it
roculnbont Upon the mombur l,insolf to immodi-

olsicar shall giva notico from tho chnir thct Ruch
member il suspended. -.

sequence is that there ia more than ono (?)
member who ouly pays hia losses when 1t au!ts
l,ib convenience to do 10, whlo others arc mis-
trusted, perhaps without good reason: Ono
