GAYNoR ON COURT DECISION

NEW YORK, Feb. 6--The committee APP
pointed by Governor Hughes to Investigate
the workings of the various exchanges In
New York looked into the affairs of the
New York Metal exchange today. At the
close of the session Horace White, chair
man of the committee, said:
we discovered that there is really no
such thing as the New York Metal ex-
change. Three men composing a
give out certain quotations on copper daily,
which figures appear to be as near as they
can possibly come to actual transactions.
That appears to be all there is to the
Metal exchange.
"A great amount Of business Is done daily
in copper in London. The eyes of the world
are on that market. The quotations posted
on the New York Metal exchange are
largely based on Londo transactions. A
number Of metal dealers pay about $50 a
year for the support OF this New York
Metal exchange. and for that they have
the privilege Of walking in and out Of the
place and looking at the posted quotations.
II appears that whatever transactions some
OF these metal dealers may nave in copper
and some OF them buy for brass manu-
facturers-thsy appear 10 base their oper
atoms on quotations appearing in the Meta
exchange.
