Stock Exchange Governors Take
Measures to Prevent Vicious
"Short" Selling.
WOULD HELP GERMANS
Depression Of Stocks Would Be OBJ
ject Which German Purposes
Would Naturally Seek to Ac-
complish.

New York, Nov. 2.-The board OF
governors of the stock exchange has
taken measures to prevent vicious"
short selling in the stock market at
tributed in certain quarters to German
interests as part of an organized prop
uganda to create pessimism.
The action comes as the culmlna'
ton of a protracted decline in mar
ket quotations., recently of extreme
violence, for which short selling,
whether actually from German sourc-
es, or from INSCRIPTIONS traders TAX
ing advantage of conditions, has been
held in a large measure responsible.
Tumble to 10 Points.
With so-called bear drives of this
nature in evidence stocks tumbled
5 to 10 points. At the close of the
market the board of the governors
announced that resolution had been
adopted requiring all members of the
exchange to furnish at noon every
day for inspection of the committee
of business conduct, complete details
regarding stocks borrowed and
VI Ut11O" GU AOA SooIOAAAOAS ~
including names The committee thus
will be able to determine whether
future transactions on the short side
are of a legitimate character.
The board of governors had no
other official statement to make on
the matter than announcement OF the
new regulations but spokesman for
the board intimated that the market
had been depressed by vicious sell
ing or selling from German inter-
ests.'' ~ He said there was no intention
to place a ban upon legitimate short
selling.
Began Three Months Ago.
The fall in stocks began about
three months ago, but the severest
breaks have occurred, it was noted in
Wall street, since the announcement
of the Italian reverses few days ago.
These daily declines have finally car
ried stocks down in many instances
to lowest levels in from to 20
years.
It was pointed out in some quar-
tiers that the New York Stock en-
change now being the foremost Sc
curities market in the world, sthe
depression of stocks would be the
object which German purposes would
naturally seek to accomplish.
