in keeping with the recent remark
able rise in stock prices in this coun.
try is the rapid advance in rates at
which New York Stock Exchange
seats are selling. The membership OF
the Exchange is strictly limited to

rally valuable. A month ago a seat
sold for $S5, 900, a record price. A few
days ago membership rights were sold
for $4,000 and one seat was bought
at the unprecedented price OF $4,000.
1t Is believed that II there is another
transaction of this character soon the
price will reach 500, 900. or somewhat
more than 80 per cent greater than
the rate at which seats were sold two
years ago. In 1872 Stock Exchange
seats sold for $1,000, and this was re-
garded as high.
An idea of the reason why Wall
Street operators are anxious to OBJ
tain the righ. to transact their busi-
ness on the floor Of the Exchange
is gained from the fact that the stock

upon 100000 shares a day. II every
member Of the Exchange were active,
and II the business were evenly d.
yided. such a daily business would give,
to each member a commission upon
about $50 shares. amounting to a
yearly income OF $32.7o0. This is. Of
course, entirely apart from individual
operations and profits.
These Stock Exchange seats are re-
garded as assets. There has been in
the past some trading in them for the
sake of the profits gained by the rise
in the rate, but the tendency was dis
couraged by a rigid enforcement of the
rule that the purchaser must be &C
ceptable to the governors OF the Ex-
change. Men now sell their seats only
for urgent reason, such as failure OF
health, or removal to other fields. In
the latter case the New York seat is
probably more profitably turned into
cash, at the high rates now prevailing.
than to be held for future use. When
a member Of the exchange dies, his
executors sell his seat for the highest
obtainable rate. The bidding is often
spirited, and some Of the most strik-
ing advances in the record prices have
been scored in this way.
