The worlds history Is a divine poem
of which the history Of every nation
is a canto and Of every man a word.
Its strains have been pealing along
down the centuries, and. though there
have been mingled the discords OF

song which speaks Of hope and

STOCK COMMISSION
RATES TO BE RAISED

NEW YORK, June i3.-A movement
is under way among New York Stock
Exchange houses to increase the rate OF
commissions on the purchase and sale
Of stocks. Whether it will bear fruit
in the form Of the adoption Of new
commissions by Stock Exchange con-
not be said definitely, as it has not
reached the stage where it has been
placed before the governing committee
for approval or disapproval.
Investigation yesterday, revealed that
members Of stock Exchange firms who
represent their respective houses on the
floor Of that institution are not as Op-
timistic relative TO raising commissions
as those partners who are in the GUS
toners rooms and deal directly with
their clients. Some members Of the ex-
change are opposed to raising commits
sions, but offer as an alternative that
the charge OF out-of-tOwn business
where large rentals are paid for leased
telegraph wires be enlarged. The rentals
paid by large houses for telegraph
wires run into the hundreds OF thou
sands Of dollars annually and are a
heavy burden during periods when bus
iness is dun.
One suggestion made by broker ia
v0ring larger commissions is that a
sliding scale Of commissions be adopted
and governed by the market price of
the stock. Under the present rules Of
the exchange the commission on the
purchase or sale Of stocks selling for
less than $40 a. share is only one-six-
teenth OF per cent. whereas on stocks
changing hands at $40 a share or above
the charge to- the customer is one
eighth of per cent.
