WAR AMONG BROKERS.
new York Stock Exchange Members
After the Curb Brokers.

New York. Nov. 1.-THE great fall

STOCK exchange and the growth or
transactions on the curb market are
causing growing uneasiness among
STOCK Exchange members, and there
were rumors in Wall street that some
ACTON may be taken by the big poard

TO such an extent that the lambs VIII
return to what Wall street regards as

Corn brokers say the campaign mas
already begun in the publication OF
covert attacks on the curb market IN
the shape of anonymous interviews pre-
dlctlng crash in curb securities ana
calling attention to the dangerous char
acter of the speculation there.
Several months ago the Stock Ex-
change made all official Interpretation
of the New York state tax law, design
cd to realize transactions in the low
priced stocks dealt in on the curb. This
reading of the law imposes the same
tax OF two cents per share an shares
of a par value of 81, as upon shares of
$780, great deal of the business Ill
mlning shares was driven to Jersey
City and to Boston by this ruling, but
the dealings on the curb have continued
to grow, until several times during the
week they exceeded the total transac-

stocks which quotations are made daily
that are merely capitalized prospects.
and many others that represent no val

are many others. outside brokers say,
that have more relative intrinsic value
than many listed stocks on the New

tious quotations are made every day.
The members of the curb market, who

themselves with a habtatiOn, now
threaten to organize if the stock ex-
change begins war upon them and to

can be regularly listed and the cats

them heretofore from extending this

fact. A man says:

butter with meat and gravy were the
main features of my breakfast. Finally
dyspepsia came on and l found myself
in a bad condition, worse in the morn
ing than any other time. l would have
full. sick feeling in my stomach. with
pains in my heart, sides and head.
AT times l would have no appetite
for days, then l would feel ravenous,
never satisfied when I did eat and so
nervous l felt like shrieking at the top
Of my voice. I lost flesh badly anc:
hardly knew which way to turn until
one day l bought Il box of Grape Nuts
food to see if I could eat that l tried
it without telling the doctor, and liked
it fine; made me feel as if l had
something to eat that was satisfying
and still I didn't have that heaviness
that l had felt after eating any other
food.
Il hadn't drank any coffee then in
five weeks. l kept on with the Grape
Nuts and in Il month and 4 half | had
gained Is pounds, could eat almost
anything | wanted, didn't feel badly
after eating and my NERVOUSNESS was
all gone. It's a pleasure to be well
again."
