Necessary Procedure I'm Listing Them

Answering an inquiry in reference 70
the manner OF procedure in placing stock

Grifiiths writes from London:
I am informed by a member Of one OF
the leading firms Of merchant bankers
In London that If IL is desired to create
market on the London Stock Exchange
for American securities II would be nee
essary for the owners OF the share 10 con-
clude an arrangement with some Eng
lish stock exchange house to purchase
and sell TO the public through the stock
exchange a certain amount or the shares
Of the American corporation.
After dealings had been carried on in
the stock exchange 10 some extent. II
the usual course were pursued. the brok-
ers handling the American stock would
then apply 20 the stock exchange COM
mittee for a settlement In the shares
The officials OF the American company
would then be asked by the committed
TO answer questions with reference "a
their corporation. the Issuance Of secu-
rites by it, and to furnish such infor-
nation as would satisfy the comittee OF
the financial responsibility and good faith
Of the American corporation.
IF everything is found to be IN order
as required under the stock exchange
rules, a settlement IS granted in the
shares. Dealings I'm the shares would

New Orleans. La. oct. 23-After the

more days
The reason for this is that The supply
houses of New Orleans were so swamped
with orders that it was impossible to
serve every one with facility and dis,

along with the lumbermen and they have
drawn heavily upon iron manufacturers.
smokestack supply houses. and roofing
material dealers. II was a case OF first
come first served. and the lumbermen
and the sugar producers alike awaited
their turn. There was an abnormal de-
mand for the same class OF material
mostly sheet iron for smokestacks and
roofing materlal-and most OF the sup
ply houses found their stocks depleted
In short order.
Just at this season in the past cypress
manufacturers have always been trou-
hled with labor shortage. The opening
of October has heretofore found the UNI

slightly better than prevailed ln the lum-

and the cotton harvest offers g tempta-

sisted in this semi-tropical climate.
There have been years when some
cypress mills were forced 20 shut down
temporarily because Of cheap labor de-
sorting. This has always proved trou-
blesome because the desertion would
come at period when it was desired

Many OF the millmen have posted no
