Dividing Commissions Bad Offense

Why Is it you suspended men Tor ma nipulation like this for only a month and suspended for five years men who split
 their commissioner" Mir untermyer asked.
 ! Sturgis declared that dividing commls- sions was the most infamous crime a
 member of the exchange could commit against his fellow members. Witness and l lawyer debated at length the position of the public toward manipulated stocks, MT. Untermeyer endeavoring to establish that the public was lured ftno the market trap by the purchasing and selling. lie asked Sturgls if the exchange had not put stop to manipulation. Mir. SturglS said the operators did not consider it was their business to stop legitimate manipu- lation. Glaring manipulations might be discovered through the books of broker, he said, but he added it would not be feasible to attempt regulation in that fashion.
 Untermeyer and Rudolph Kepler, an- other member of the governing board, the next witness, engaged in @ battle of wits on stock market jugglery. MT. Keppler held "cross sales" or pur- chases were legal so long as the com mission were paid, and there were no wash sales" or matched orders in the dealings. The lawyer finally took I'D the relations of the stock exchange with the curb market. He read from the re- port of the Hughes commission to show that the' stock exchange prevents the curb market from getting under a roof. He brought out that when stocks listed on the curb were listed on the exchange, the curb ceased to trade in them be-
 cause if it did not the curb would be barred from business with stock ex- change members. He also brought out that the rate of charge on the curb was
 less than on the exchange. Do you agree with the report of the Hughes commission that q substantial part of the operations on the stock cx- change are gambles?" Untermeyer asked. well, I would say that some trans- actions on the stock exchange were some- what of a gambling character" Keppler answered.
 Harry Content. New York broker, de- scribed the process of giving cross or ders to buy and to sell the same com modity He said that the object of his operation was to create an active mar ket without actually buying any of the stock.
 Don't you think that deceives the pub lic?" untermeyer asked. ''No. 1 do not" witness answered "Do you think it's good for the public?'' Untermeyer asked.
 Sometimes" Content answered. Witness said operation by pools no longer was feature of the market, but that number of big individual opera tors were now working on the street why" MT. Untermeyer asked.
 "They find it safer not to have part
 ners," said Content. They used to sell each other out.'
 Each man is pool himself then?"
 inquired the inquisitor. The witness answered in the affirmative.

I said the witness emphatically. MT Unter- meyer reviewed the short selling question on rising market as a factor in steady | ing values. He asked witness if he did | not think the moral obliquity of such a | transaction outweighed support in it's | favor.
 "Yes. do personally" sturgis an
 swered.
 "As a matter of fact, it is pure and simple gambling?" Untermeyer asked. Largely so," Sturgis answered. ] The question of the moral duty of the stock exchange to the public involved Alr. Sturgls and the lawyer in heated con troversy.
 ''The exchange as such, has no duty to-
 ward the public then," Sturgis said. "ex- cept to maintain place to do business and to surround that business with legit- mate safeguard
 Witness said that he did not believe the stock exchange was guilty of misleading banks as to the value of securities manip-
 ulated. On this point he argued at length, Mir. Untermeyer attempting at the same time to secure the admission that the stock exchange could make deals on the floor of the exchange, dealings in the real
 value of stocks. and that the securities might be quoted at a price representing
 real values on their face. Sturgis discussed the Rock Island ma nipulation' on December Zi, l5V9, When, IL was charged. through S. B. Chapin X Co.,, | % lots of 2o00 shares each were bought on single order by different brokers. The stock went from g to Sl in two hours and dropped back to below 90 in three more hours. Mir Sturgls said the two members of Chapin & Co. were suspended from the exchange for month.
 That was the most glaring case of ma nipulation in the history of the exchange,
 was it not?" Mir Untermeyer asked Witness would eXpress no belief.

 "The object is to make money on a break in the market by selling what you have not got, according to this?' said MT, Untermeyer,
 Sturgis replied in the affirmative. Mir. Sturgis said he believed it proper for a broker in times of panic to protect him self by short sales, if he were holding another line of stock for which thers was no market.
 MT. Untermeyer asked witness If hs believed short selling justifiable in mar ket normal Witness said this was a question between every man and his own judgment.
