the New York Stock exchange Is partl,
due also TO the members OF the exchange
themselves and to the old iogyish way
of its governing committee, who do no
appear TO see the necessity OF making
radical changes in their long-establishel
rules and regulations. The exchange ha
formidable and rapidly growing rival il
! the Consolidated Stock and Petroleum
exchange, which is every day becoming
more popular with the speculative public
on account Of the low rate OF commits
slons exacted, che abscnceof the per cent

yenience Of the clearing house. This eS
