INSURANCE LOAN IN PARIS CREDITED
Plan if Carried Out Will Be of Benefit to
Local Business Circles.

Although confirmation could not be had here
yesterday of the report that arrangements were
being made for placing a S20,OOOOUO loan IN
Paris by several American fire insurance COM
panies acting together, 1t was not discred-
ited in usually we'll informed quarters. OFF,
GERS of the large insurance companies said. how
ever, that they were not concerned In any nego-
tiations for obtaining money from Paris and did
not need funds from abroad and officers of one
or two smaller companies which were rumOred
to be among the concerns interested in The nego-
tiatiOnS made similar disclaimer
If such loan is made it will enable the COM
panies interested To settle their San Francisco
losses without sacrificing their investment Sc
curities. the local stock market benefiting
through the dissipation of the apprehension of
more liquidation by fire insurance companies.
further result of such an operation would
probably be the importation of many millions of
additional gold into the United States.

KILLS BUDDING RIVAL.
STOCK EXCHANGE ACTS.
Curb Brokers Flee from Mining
Mart at Its Dictate.

A little resolution of the governing committee of
the New York Stock Exchange has nipped the bud
ding development Of the Wall Street Mining and
Stock Exchange and in single day has shrivelled
its membership values to almost the vanishing
point The latter organization has been in exist
ence for two three years. but only recently mas
begun to do a business of any considerable volume.
1t has shifted its headquarters three or four times,
its board room being now at No. rs Broad street,
from which building it had been arranged to move
next Monday TO No. 10 Broad street
Since the earthquake and fire in San Francisco
the mining market of that city has been TO large
extent transferred TO New York. and much OF the
business has gone the Wall Street Mining and
Stock Exchange the rest being handled in the curb
market. Some of the curb brokers bought seats on
the Mining Exchange and spent most of their time
on its trading floor and various Stock Exchange
houses which have long had representatives or the
curb put their clerks also into the little exchange,
where seats had to be bought for them. The boom
IN the exchanges business naturally found quick
reflection in advance in the price of It's member
ships. Two weeks ago seat could nave oeeh
bought for $50. Yesterday morning one changed
hands at $225 Then came the crash, caused by the
publication of the following resolution. adopted by
the Stock Exchange governing committee on
Wednesday:
Resolved That in the Judgment Of this commit
tee any member OF the Exchange VINO Is cohllectea i
with the wall Street Mining and stock Exchange.
or who has any connection, direct or Indirect, by
means of telephone. ticker telegraph wire or any
electrical other contrivance or pneumatic tubes
or other apparatus, with said exchange or with the
office of any member of such exchange IS guilty of
an act or acts detrimental the interests and wei
fare of this Exchange, and any such connection is
hereby prohibited.
This notice was the signal for a scramble by the
Stock Exchange people and the recent arrivals
from the curb get out of the Mining Exchange.
Seats were sold for any price they would bring and
a membership went low 81. The who
made this sale had peculiarly unfortunate eX-
perience. He had recently bought a seat for 500.
While the slump in prices was in progress yester-
day he let go his seat for $40. When the price
reached so he thought that the bottom had about
been touched and bought another seat, but the
selling continued, with the prospective limit
he threw over the second membership at 81. The
curb brokers who sold their Mining Exchange seats
got around the curb before 8 o'clock and were
greeted by their old comrades prodigal sons
with rejoicing and libations.
The Stock Exchange houses which had been con-
nected by wire with the little exchange had the
wires hastily removed yesterday afternoon. The
Stock Exchange. I'm its action against the Wall
Street Mining and Stock Exchange. followed the
policy which 1t has pursued in the OF the Con-
sodated Stock and Petroleum Exchange.
