DOUBT BETS BILLS PASSAGE.
Many Wall st. Interests Criticise
Proposed Blue sky LAW.

The passage of the Belts bill, designed
for the stricter regulation of sales of
stocks and bonds. which has been in
troduced into the State Legislature, Is
regarded as extremely doubtful by a
large number OF banking and Stock
Exchange interests in Wall Street. AL
though it was recognized, Il was said
yesterday, that certain features of the
bill were desirable, il had many objec-
tionable features.
Among the unsatisfactory points con-
tanned in the measure, it was pointed
out was one which would make all Sc
curities bought and sold. except those
traded In on the New York Stock Ex-
change, subject to State scrutiny. Such
legislation. it was said. would be dis
elimination and result in a general pro-
test from institutions like the Consoli-
dated Stock Exchange. the New York
Curb Market Association, &c. The
hands of brokers and bankers not mem
bers of the New York Stock Exchange.
it was added, would be tied in the mat
ter of bringing out new securities and
industries would suffer needlessy
through inability to raise capital as
easily as they may do under present ar
rangements. The plan for licensing
stock brokers has been considered often
by State and municipal lawmakers, it
was said, and always rejected as objec-
tionable.
