first of all because of the very nature
of the curb markets membership.
On the floor of the Stock Exchange
none may trade save a member of
the exchange. In these days he must
pay for his "seat" between $4,000
and 100000. Anybody may trade on
the curb. 1t is merely sufficient that
he be recognized, that the people
with whom he trades know him, and
that they trust him. When a
stranger comes to the curb crowd
and there are many strangers IN
these oil boom days-to trade, some
one already in good standing will
vouch for him.
The relations Of the curb market
to the Stock Exchange and the con-
trasts between them can perhaps be
better understood after a glance at
their history.

But the great reform adopted by
the Curb Association has been its
requirements for the listing of sccu-
rites. The listing requirements of
the curb must perforce be more Ie-
nlent than those of the Stock Ex-
change. The curb often deals in new
projects which have confessodly hot
yet done any business. 1t deals some
times IN securities which have not
yet been issued. 1t has been known
to deal in things that never existed.

the sign Of language common to
with whom he communicates in the
windows.
But who are these people in the
windows, and why is it necessary
to communicate with them? To
answer that, let us consider who are
the people in the street. There
are some folk who trade "for their
own account" which is Wall Streets
way of saying that they are buying
and selling stocks for themselves.
taking all the profits and all the
losses. They don't have to COM
municatc with anybody. Then there
are the brokers who trade for
others. They buy and sell and ask
and bid only when they receive
orders. The customer, the man who
orders the thing done, takes all the
losses, and the profits he shares with
the broker in the form of a fixed
commission that he pays him.
whether he wins or loses. Thus the
augmentation Of the brokers' wealth
may be slow but certain, dependent
only on the volume Of transactions.
The man actually trading on the
curb usually does not get the COM
missions; he represents merely "the
house that gets them, and he works
Tor salary. But these houses, in
addition to their representative on
the street, often have representa-
tives in the windows. The windows
that overlook the curb market are

houses, and communicate with the
men on the street so that prices
may be instantly flashed to the
houses, thus keeping customers as
closely in touch with the market as
may be.
The machinery for keeping Gus
toners in touch with the market is
very crude on the curb compared
with the Stock Exchange. On the
Stock Exchange hundreds of mes
senger boys constantly are collecting
quotations from among the members,
rushlng them over to the ticker ma
chlne, and there they are printed off.
only a few minutes after the trans
action has been made, or perhaps
less than a minute, and they appear
simultaneously in every Stock Ex-
change brokerage house in the
Street. But the curb is improving in
this respect. An enterprising COM
pany now instals a ticker on which
quotations are written out bv hand
on broad tape, and, by a "tel-
autograph" process, the quotation
simultaneously is written out on all

First Trade
Beneath a Tree

A fine old tradition has it that
the outside market existed long be-
fore the Stock Exchange. 1t was
under an old buttonwood tree,
where 68 and 70 Wall Street now
stands. that our trading fathers
foregathered. They dealt in the
first bonds authorized by Congress
IN 1880, and in shares Of the
United States Bank and the Bank
OF North America. At first this
trading was informal. But in 1902
the leading brokers became more
particular and entered an agree
ment by which trading was limited
here again became particular, or

Sensations
Both Ways

We leave off, lest the imagination
become distended, and you put on
your hat tomorrow and rush down
to the curb market. Suffice it TO
say that the sensations on the curb
can be both ways. that the disap-
pointments, the collapses, the bub-
bles, the fakes, vastly exceed in
number the shares which enjoy spec
tacular rises. There was partial
collapse Of the oil boom on the curb
d few weeks ago. Before the end Of
April, however, Boston & Wyoming
Oil had risen 161 per cent, Midwest
Oil 1l5 per cent, Merritt Oil SO per
cent, Midwest Refining rs per cent,
Island Oil 421 per cent, Sinclair
Gulf Oil 207 per cent.
Romance is chick these DAYS on
the curb. Men have sone there
poor, wrecks, failures, borrowing
quarters and dimes for lunch. have
bought some engraved certificates
that nobody else wanted, have pros
pered, put on good clothes, worn
diamonds, driven automobiles, dined
IN the finest hotels. kept chauffeurs
and country estates and yachts.
Kept on trading and gene back again
to borrowing quarters and dimes for
lunch. A few years ago niessen-
ger boy, a runner, got hold of some
such stock, cleaned up S15O,OOO at
q sweep, became a broker, opened a
magnificent suite of Offices, stayed
three months and disappeared again
INTO oblivion. There is more ro-

and the Petroleum Consolidated
o1ock Exchange, and these in 1885
merged into the Consolidated Stock
Exchange, which erected a building
at Beaver and Broad streets.
But always residue of brokers
and stocks remained. The direct
predecessor of the present curb
market had it's meeting place at one
time on Wall Street, near Hanover
Durlng the Civil War it was in Will
lam Street, between Exchange Place
and Beaver. 1t began at 8 O'Clock in
the morning and continued until &
p. m. or even later, and when the
shades of night fell il was trans

in 1903 +. S. Mendels, a curb bro
ker, formed the New York Curb
Agency, and in 1911 the New York
Curb Market Association was formed
Even this association started to con-
slider in 1916 the question of going
under roof. But hardly had discus
sion got we'll under way than war
came on and the plan was POSTPONED

to those recognized by the organiza-
ton. They settled the next most
important question by "solemnly
promising and pledging" themselves
mot to buy or sell any kind of pub
TIC stocks at a less rate than n
per cent commission on the specie
value" That agreement was
sacred. The new organization
called The Stock Market, continued
for twenty-five years. In 1917
quarters were taken in the Tontine
Coffee House. The organization
was further perfected and became
known as the New York Stock and
Exchange Board. After two more
changes it became the New York
Stock Exchange in it's present build
ing.
Meanwhile the residue of un-
recognized brokers and unrecop-
nlzed stocks had not died, but had
vastly grown. While no record was
kept, it was believed that durino
the Civil War transactions were
heavier in the open market than on
the exchange. The leading brokers
