CURB MARKET PLANNED
New Organization Applies
for Charter.

Traders i'm the New York Curb mar
ket who are not members of the New
York Curb Market Association held a
meeting yesterday afternoon to formu-
late plans for continuing the outside
market for securities after that associa-
ton shall have gone indoors In the
building which 1t will construct in Trim
ity place. The first step taken was the
filing of an application with the Secre-
tary of State for the incorporation of
the New York Stock and Bond Market,
under which name the new Curb mar
ket will be known when the present as
ISOLATION has gone indoors.
According to those interested In the
formation of the new association, about
'two-thirds of the stocks and bonds now
traded in in the curb will remain there
after the New York Curb Market Asso-
citation shall have gone indoors. IL was
said that about that proportion Of the
outside stocks were not listed by the
association and that therefore there
would be no market for them when the
association shall have moved into its
new building. Thomas A. Cook has
been named temporary chairman of the
committee which Is making arrange
ments for the new organization and his
name appears on the Incorporation APP
plcation along with those Of g. A. Carl
son, Friend HallenbeclS, w. II. O'Connor
and John Leith.
