Sturgis said the membership of the

the business had increased fifty times,
that number was well able to handle
the ''publics business
He said the exchange cannot prevent
manipulation by pools.
In a dozen recent failures, Sturgis adj
mitted, the stock exchange houses had
credit with them for stock owned in part

He admitted also that stock brokers
use stock owned by their customers as
