there was further heavy realizing by
Wall street longs. Continued cold
weather in the south and trade buy

EUROPEAN LIQUIDATION

Governing Committee Of New York
Stock Exchange Recommends
Abolition of Minimum Prices.

NEW YORK. April THAT the
financial markets OF the United States
no longer fear European liquidation Of
American securities was made evident
yesterday, when the governing COM
mittee OF the New York Stock Ex-
change recommended the abolition of

llshed as a safeguard December 16 last.
The reasons Of the committee for ar
irving at this conclusion were: First.
that In more cases ruling prices are
far above the minimum levels. there
fore making further arbitrary prices
useless; second, that financial affairs
throughout the country and the for
eign trade situation have SO improved
as to remove the danger existing at
the time Of the reopening Of the ex-
change.
AS result of this action. which re-
stores trading on the stock exchange
to an absolutely normal basis. the COM
mittee of three, which has supervised
and regulated the affairs of the ex-
change since Its reopening December
II. has been discharged and the gov
ernins committee again is in control,
