SPLITTING COMMISSIONS.
The violation of the syndicate
agreement embraces the splitting of
profits with clients. 1t is done by
offering the prospective buyer the
rev security at one or two points un-
der the price at which the syndicate
has agreed upon as the one to be paid
by the public.
The disregarding of syndicate
agreements has been most evident in
those cases where the proceeds of
rev issues were to be used in part to
take up issues about to mature.
The maturing issues are taken at
par by the bankers, but those dollar
chasers who consider agreements
mere scraps Of paper have been offer
ing prospective investors l and . per
cent more than par for the maturing
bonds. provided a subscription for the
new offering Is given.
OF course, the dealer who pays more
than par for a maturing bond cannot
receive more than 100 per cent of the
principal and accrued interest OF the
bend to be redeemed, so that he pays
the premium out of the profits to be
received on the new issue.

matter, and to do SO, confidence must

such an advance is being temporarily
interfered with by adverse dividend

about three weeks ago. Almost every
