Pan-American were offered In large
volume, but resistance In the gen.
eral list was much in evidence, pre-
venting the main body Of stocks to
break through Saturdays low levels.
Pan-American Petroleum was the
main object Of bear attack, this is
sue breaking nearly five points to
new low price for 1928 at 55A.
Other oil stocks stood up very well
In face Of this selling, holding close
tor their previous levels. Phillips

ferred from the Curb Exchange,
sold down point to 26.
After initial firmness Baldwin
was forced into new low ground,
without, however, having any last
ing effect upon other parts of the
list. Experiments Of this kind
were apparently utilized to facili-
tate covering operations elsewhere.
Movements in the railroad stocks
also indicated the desire Of bear
traders to tighten commitments ur-
der cover Of pressure against special
issues. New Haven was a. weak
feature, breaking 2 points, to new
low at 12N. following the publica-
ton Of the report by the committee

a merger Of roads in that section
with trunk lines, except as a last

supervision Of the stock exchanges.
Including the licensing Of brokers
and Incorporation Of the exchanges.
This Is reform that has been
urged in many editorials by the
New York American. Silkworth
said:
'The brokers in Wall street are
the custodiana Of the peoples funds,
and as such should be licensed by
the state. The exchanges should
be incorporated. II these reforms
were brought about. 1t would be
difficult for unscrupulous brokers
to rob the public.
Personally. I have been In favor
Of this kind Of legislation. I'm
fortunately. at the last session ct
the State legislature. when the
Sheridan and Gothic blue sky bills
were up. the New York Stock Ex-
change and the Consolidated Stock
Exchange agreed to oppose this
legislation, and did oppose It.
MY opinion is that Il such 1egis-
Iation were placed on the statute
books, brokers soon would realize
the benefits OF It. The bankers op-
posed. State supervision Of banks,
but they would not have It changed,
now that they have tried It and
flourished under It.
eff bucketeers had to pass q
legitimate State inspection they
would not be permitted to start in
business. And IL this records OF
the clearing houses OF t:>e two ex-

spection, 1t would materially assist
in detecting bucketing when prac.
