N. Y. STOCK EXCHANGE DENIAL
Plans of Committee to Resume Stock
Dealings Not Yet Ready
By Associated Press.

New York, Dec. 5.-Oficial denial
was made to-day of the report that a
meeting had been called for next Mon
day of governors of the Now York
Stock Exchange to ratify plans for the
early redemption of trading in stocks
on the floor of the exchange.
The denial was issued by the ex-
changes committee of five which has
been at work for some time past on
plans looking to the gradual revival of
dealings in stocks. Publication of re-
ports to the effect that the committee
had nearly perfected such plan, it was
said, was premature.
"The plans of tine committee of FIVE
TO resume dealings in stocks on the
floor of the exchange have not yet
been consummated, reads the an
nouncement. No meeting of the board
of governors has been called and none
will be called until the plan is per-
fected.' -
