GOING AFTER
 STOCK MARKET
New York Legislature Has Under Consideration Sul- ger Bills Confining Stock Exchange Transactions to Legitimate Basis.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHI

ALBANY. N. Y. Feb. 5.-No stock exchange reform legislation will be enacted until every one interested has had chance to express an opinion on the bills drafted by Governor SuI- ger and introduced today in the as- sembly. While ones of these measures would fix the maximum rate of in terest at 15 per cent on call loans, the governor said tonight he was not
 committed to sucF d proposition and the question of enacting Legislation calling for the incorporation of the New York stock exchange will be leld in abeyance until further in
 formation is available.
 T am not committed to either the pill fixing the maximum rate of in- terest on call loans or the question of the incorporation of the New York stock exchange" said the governor.
 Tt is for the legislature to decide
 whether such legislation would be
 detrimental to business interests It
 is the duty of the state of New York
 to enact legislation calling for re-
 forms on the stock exchange. If we
 don't meet that duty, federal legisla-
 tion is sure to follow. I believe the
 legislature will meet the situation
 and that laws that will be passed which stand as a model for other states.
 This whole matter is now before the legislature. Everybody will be given an opportunity to suggest such changes as they believe should be made to the bills I drafted. In this c genuine opposition to them." The provisions of the bills include the following:
 A maximum rate of 15 per cent on call loans is established reporting of fictitious transactions and securi- ties and publishing false representa- | tions concerning sureties is made a | felony, and the manipulation of se- curities for the purpose of inflatinG or depressing the price is forbidden ! and the pretended purchase or sale | is made presumptive evidence of in- | tent to defraud
 ] One of the bills would prohibit a 1 broker from trading in stocks against his customers orders, the object be- 1 ing to prevent brokers from taking | advantage of the confidential relation I with his customer for his own bene- 1 fit The bill would prevent a broker !! from misleading customers into mak 1 ing purchases contrary to the brok- | er's idea of the market, thus enabling l the broker to profit by his illegiti- l mate advice.
 l Another measure deals with hy- i pothecation of Q customers securitie: and would prohibit a broker from re | ceiving from a customer, ignorant o l a brokers insolvency, moneys anC | securities except in liquidation of z 1 debt, if a customer loses as a resul 1 Of such transaction. This is designed | to prevent an interruptions broker 1 from conducting business after h, | knows he is insolvent. The measure also prohibits broker from pledgins d customers stock for more than thu | amount due him, the object being tt prevent broker from using a GUS toner's stock as his own in borrow
 ing money. One bill especially i
 aimed at bucketshops and is de
 signed principally to make suppres
 sion and prosecution of these place
 more effective.
