Trading ON Street i'm Financial District
Has Survived for More Than
One Hundred Years

terday it has held it's sessions in front
of 25 Broad Street.
In 1909, as result of tho findings
OF the Hughes committee, the late f.
S.aMendels. known as the father of
the "curb,' along with a vigilance
committee. undertook to put into effect
numerous reforms, and this resulted
in the formation of the New York
Curb Market Association, which to-
morrow will begin trading in it's pre-
sentious new quarters on Trinity
Place, known as the New York Curb
Market Exchange.
In moving from an open-air to an
indoor market the association. accord
ing to its sponsors, hopes to safeguard
the public's interests to an even
greater extent than at present. Trad
ing will be conducted much along the
same lines as transactions on the
Stock Exchange. Among other things
there will be ticker service record
ing dealings as they are made. This
innovation, it is stated, will result in
more accurate quotations than the old
system of securing this information
from individuals who may be mere or
less interested in certain securities.
Another reason behind the decision
of the board of governors to go under
roof was their desire to exercise
greater control over the members ane
what they trade in. Even with the
restrictions that prevailed on Broac
Street 1t has been impossible to pre-
New-York tribune., 1921-06-26

vent certain irregularities which have
reenlted in public criticism.
About two years ago the Stock Ex-
change undertook to reform the curb
and announced that plans were under
way to make that market an adjunct
OF the exchange, trading to be con-
ducted under the same roof AS the
bulk of the business on the curb
originates with members of the ex-
change, it was thought that this
scheme would be carried out to sue
cessful conclusion. The idea was op-
posed, however, by E. R. Mccormick,
chairman, and other members of the
Curb Market Association, with the re-
suit that the plan of the "big board
was finally abandoned.
Memberships on the new Curb Ex-
change are now quoted at SIS 900 each
and more than 500 brokers have bought
seats. Many of these are members Of
Stock Exchange houses. The prices of
the seats, however, will fuctuate with
the volume of business done in the
new home.
1t has been estimated that so per
cent of the present membership of the
New York Stock Exchange received it's
trimming on the Curb. In point. of
volume of business the Curb is the
second largest market in the United
States, its transactions being exceeded
by those on the Stock Exchange. Dur
ing 1917 dealings amounted to 1877
74S,56s shares of stock and $685.

Last Day Outdoors
Uneventfpal as Curb
Traders Quit Street
Market Followers More Anx-
ious to Find Relief From
Heat Than to- Celebrate
Passing to New Section

The last session of the New York
Curb Market Association yesterday on
the road Street Curb took place with
out any celebration preparatory to be-
ginning business tomorrow morning in
the new Curb Exchange on Trinity
Place. A few streamers of ticker tape
were thrown from some Of the nearby
Offices, but the members at the stroke
of noon seemed more bent on getting
out Of the city to some cool retreat
than on singing their swan song as
brokers of the open air.
More interest was centered on the
possible effect of the abandonment of
the curb as marketplace by the asso-
citation and the decision Of number
of dissenters to the plan for going in
doors to do business in Broad Street
In view Of the reports that prominent
realty interests will use their influence
and efforts to do away with an outside
market entirely future developments
will be closely watched.
Transfer of the Curb Associations
activities to the new quarters will
cause many of the member brokers to
move their Offices from Broad Street to
the vicinity of Trinity Place, although
many of the leases do not expire un-
til September 1. Many of the winuows,
to which the brokers signaled their or
ders by means of the sign language,
long since made famous, will be done
away with and the telephones removed.
When the association begins business
tomorrow as an indoor market il will
have total membership of $50. Com
missions will remain the same as they
have been with the exception of in
corporated financial institutions, which
will be charged the same as the public.

Southern Selling
Depresses Cotton
After. a Rally
Weekend Realizing Also a
Factor; General Market
Easy and Irregular at the
Close; Gains II to 28 Pts.

After showing a good deal Of strength
during yesterdays earlier trading, the
cotton market reacted sharply because
of increasing Southern selling and
weekend realizing. The early advance
carried prices half a cent above Fri
days closing figures, with October
selling at 12.27c, which made new high
ground for the movement and recov-
cry of more than cent pound from
the low record of last Monday. That
delivery closed at 11.95c, or 80 points
off from the best, with the general
market easy and irregular, although
last prices still showed gains of from
Ito % points, as compared with the
previous close.
The three factors most prominently con-
nected with the early strength were the
/ encouraging British labor news disappont-
ing private condition reports and evidences
that July notices in the New Orleans mar
ket had been prmoptly stopped.
1t was felt that the conference called by
Lloyd George at the request of the miners
would almost certaiNly result in settle
n1ent of the British coal strike, and pri-
! vate cable was received here from Liver
pool, claiming that peace in the coal mines
was in sight.

June crop reports, one of which placed the
! condition at 90, agaisnt &c last month,
While the other made the condition 67.S
and pointed to a decrease of 29.1 per cent

| Friday had pointed to an improvement of
about points for the month, which was
considered disappointing from the bearish
standpoint, while yesterdays reports sug~
gested a gain of only 2 or points, COM
pared with an Improvement of over points
for the same time last year.

notices there at "a 900 bales At the oper-
ing the July discount under Octobe wild

part of the cotton had been taken UP by a

row would be readily taken.

row morning on Broad Street when
their former brethren will be absent.
But with the passing of the official
outdoor organization the Curb will un-
doubtedly lose many of its old, pic
turesque features. Important realty
interests in the financial district are
reported to be strongly opposed to the
continuance of the open-air market, and
it you'd not be surprising that if in
the near future pressure was brought
to bear on the city fathers to have the
Broad Street curb eliminated entirely
as a place for trading in securities.
