Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-The proposed con-
solidation of the New York mining. petro-
leum and produce exchanges is urged by in
fuential members of both petroleum and
mining boards. Among them being President
Smith, Rufus Hatch and T. c. Patterson of
the petroleum exchange. The produce men
having large and rich organization and
boastipg of the finest commercial exchange
building in the world are rather lukewarnl,
as yet, and are inclined to be conservative,
but the advocates of the scheme are san
guine Of making the produce brokers see
that the consolidation would be to their
interest. 1t is urged in behalf of
the union that the success of the new de-
parture of the petroleum exchange in open
ing stock department proves that there is a
public demand for greater liberalty in stock
transactions, both in the commissions
charged to customers and the kind of orders
acct pied. The stock exchange still adheres
rigidly to its rules made in flush times re-
quiring S25 commissions on the purchase
and sale of every 100 shares of stock AM will
not permit dealings in less than 100 shares

so the reforIners say, that brokers should be
allowed to make commissions as low as they
please and buy and sell any quantity of stock
from ten shares up,
