MANY REFORMS

seek COMPULSORY PUBLICITY

Manipulation Of Market Would ee
CurteiIed or Prohibited - Clearing
Houses Also to Be Regulated II
Committees Ideas Are Carried Out.
Would Secure Privileges For Non.
member Banks.
Washington, Dec. 20.--The Pujo
committee of the house. when It ad.
5ourned for the holidays, had practi-
cally completed the stock exchange
end clearing house phases of its in.
vestigation.
There is one reform Of which there
seems to be no doubt of the commit.
tees Endorsement, and that is com.
pulsory publicity in regard to pro-
moters' profits on stock issues listed
on the New York stock exchange.
The committee is certain also to
make some recommendation looking
to the curtaIlment or abolition of ma.
nipulations Of the stock market.
To compel the incorporation Of the
exchange and to forbid the transmits.
sion of quotations over the telegraph
wires unless the exchange adopts GER.
tain reforms, is apparently the
scheme on which the committee Ia at
present proceeding.
Counsel for the committee In the
course Of the hearings thus far has
indicated also that the investigators
are seeking to form some method Of
preventing the flow Of money to Wall
street during periods Of stringency In
the money market.
AS to the practice Of clearing
houses. the investigating committee
also seems to have some pretty def
mite views. II is practically certain
that they will recommend that the
state and national banking authori-
ties have the power to review the
Judgment of the clearing houses In
cases where a member declines to
clear for non-member bank.
II was learned that the committee
plans after the Christmas recess to
call some Of the younger members Of
the firm of j. p. Morgan 4 Company
and to question them In detail In re.
gard to certain transactions.
