of the American section Of the

These problems. Booth said, are:
The determination Of the aggre-

Al consideration OF the debts from
one European country to another
in their relation TO such reparation
payments, into which, at later
date, when proper foundation "

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.--With q
view to the protection OF customers
and brokers. the government COM
mittee Of the New York Stock Elk
change yesterday adopted two reso.
buttons, one Of which provides for
audits Of members accounts and the
other for examination and an &c.
counting for such securities as are
entrusted for safe keeping.
It was explained at the Stock
Exchange that the adoption OF the
two resolutions was the outcome OF
long study and a development from
the QUESTIONABLE system. II was
denied that the Day and Heaton
failure had any immediate bearing
on the present resolutions. 1t was
generally believed. however, that
the recent failure may have speeded
actions on these subjects.
The first ruling follows:
Resolved, That members Of the
exchange and firms registered
thereon carrying margin accounts
for customers shall, as IT the date
Of their answer to each question
naire. cause to be made a complete
audit Of their accounts and assets,
including securities held for safe.
keeping, in Accordance with such
regulations as shall be prescribed by
the committee on business conduct,
and shall file with Jaid committee
a statement to the effect tina. such
audit has been made and whether ii
Is In accord with the NnSwers to
the QUESTIONABLE. Such statements
shall, in the case Of each member Of
the exchange not a member OF a
registered firm shall be signed by
each member of such firm, unless,
for good cause shown, The signature
of one or more members Is waived
by the COMMITTEES on business con.
duct. Such statement shall In all
cases be attested by the auditors,
and the original report 1T the audit,
isgned by the auditors, shall be re-
Iained as part of the boolxs and rec.
ords Of the member or firm"
The second resolution follows:
Resolved, That each member Of
the exchange and firm registered
thereon, not carrying margin ac-
counts for customers, shall, at least
once a year and whenever called
upon so to do by the committee on
business conduct, report to said
committee whether such member
or firm holds securities for safe
keeping. Each Of such members
or firms holding securities for
safekeeping shall, at least once In
each year, file with the committee
on business conduct a statement
that all securities held for safe.
keeping have been checked and
found to be intact, which statement
shall also show IN what manner the
verification OF the securities has
been made and the date thereof"
