WALL ST. PLANS
TO PUT CRIMP IN
SHORT SELLING"

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Measures to
prevent vicious" short selling in the
stock market. attributed in some
quarters to German interests as part
of an organized propaganda to create
pessimism, have been taken today by
the board of governors of the stock
exchange.
The action comes as the elimination
of a protractsd decline in market quo
tations, recently of extreme violence.
for which short selling, whether &C
tually from German sources or from
inscriptions traders taking advan-
tage OF conditions, has been held in
large measure responsible.
With so-called bear drives OF this
nature in evidence, stocks tumbled
three to ten points, and at the close
OF the market yesterday the board of
governors made an announcement.
This was that a resolution had been
adopted requiring all members OF
the exchange to furnish at noon every
day for the inspection of the commit
tee of business conduct complete de-
tails regarding stocks borrowed and
loaned, or borrowed for customers. in
GLIDING names. Stock borrowing be-
ing the basis of short selling, the
committee will be thus enabled to
determine whether future transac-
tions on the short side are of legiti-
mate character.
The spokesman for the governors
Of the exchange indicated that the ex-
change was working in complete
harmony with the Government,
though in what way the Federal au-
thorities have taken up the question
with the exchange was not disclosed.
Some observers have credited the
decision Of the Government to dispose
of German-owned property as one
reason for the more recent breaks,
but selling of this kind would not
partake of bear operations, it was
pointed out.
