Market Quotations Discouraged.

A number of private trades were re-
ported in the Wall street district this
week at prices not varying very greatly
from the closing quotations of July 30,
which was the date of the last session
of the exchange. The stock exchange
Is not insisting upon complete suspen-
sion of business as between members or
other interests. as 1t is recognized that
there must of necessity be situations
where transactions are absolutely neces-
sary. However. the general ruling Is to
leave the necessity for transactions of
this character entirely to the honor of
the members of the exchange-that is to
saw. members are themselves to be the
Judges of whether such transactions are
necessary or whether they should be
avoided. The one great danger appears
to be the publicity to be given quotations
Of securities thus reported sold. Trans
actions, for instance, could be very read
uy arranged that would give an entirely
erroneous idea of the market quotations
and would not furnish a reliable basis
for any statement of what real sales
could be made at Thus the managers of
the stock exchange are wisely discourag.
ing market quotations of every char
acter.
