New York. June 1.-THE organization
OF the New York Stock Exchange and
the more important Of its rules. reguia-
tons. and business methods are approved
In the report Of the special commission
on exchanges appointed by Gov. Hughes
late last year The report has just been
submitted TO the governor after an in
vestigation lasting six months, in which
for the last time books Of brokers, rec
ords of the stock exchange clearing
houses, and all other pertinent sources OF
Information, were available 70 an inves-
tgating body.
Others of the local exchanges do not
fare as we'll Summary abolition OF the
mercantile exchange and the metal ex-
change is recommended for the reason
that no bona fde transactions in commod-
tiles go through either. Drastic reforms
are suggested for the curb market
Lives Because of Technically.
The consolidated exchange is dismissed
in a few sentences as one whose busi-
ness would be paralyzed if deprived Of
the use OF stock exchange tickets which
it now enjoys upon a technical point
in a judicial decision" Little fault is
found with the cotton exchange, except
that its officers permit too extensive
speculation.
On the three most important criticisms
directed against the stock exchange both
before the commission and in various
periodicals in recent years-trading on
mal gin. short selling. and the Organiza-
ti0ns of the exchange as a club rather
than an Incorporated company-the com
mission finds that the criticisms were not
well founded. The practice in call loans
is also approved.
Manipulation COndOned.
In regard 10 manipulation Of securities
Only that which IS designed 10 deceive
the public is condemned. Otherwise. the
commission finds manipulation often
serves a useful purpose. No more does
the commission take seriously the criti-
oisms on the stock exchange clearing
house specialists, or the plan for a
State examination of brokers.
But while the commission finds the
methods good. il makes several sugges-
tiors of ways in which they may be
improved Practically all Of these are
directed 70 the governor Of the stock
exchange. and only one or two 10 the
legislature. Several of them have been
put into effect by the governor since the
unsavory stock exchange failure OF last
year.
