New York. April 2e.--Considerable
interest has been created here by the
incorporation at Trenton OF the New

new concern admittedly has for It's
object the evasion % the stock trans
fer tax law, just passed by the New

in the move in connection with other
New York City and New Jersey iinan-
cial men. whose Identity win be dis
closed later.
Membership in the exchange will
not. according to present plans. be
confined to representatives OF any
single board In this city. as had been
suggested when the scheme was frs,
broached. Hence the attitude OF the
New York stock exchange is awaited
with considerable interest. as that body
has strenuous rules against its mem
bers having anything to do with deal
ings on certain other exchanges and
has vigorously enforced these rules
from time 10 time.
There is nothing In the constitution
OF the stock exchange, however, to
prevent its members belonging to an
exchange in apother state. eveh II
there be only'a river between the two
