Stock Exchange Memberships Vary
According to Strong or
Weak Markets.

NEW YORK, January 7.-Prices of
memberships on the stock exchange
invariably f1uctuate with the trend
of the market When security prices
are high and dealings are active there
is a strong demand for seats. On the
other hand. says the Tribune, when
the market trend is Enthusiastically
downward, brokers evince a dispo-
sition to sell their memberships and
this results in an oversupply in re-
lation to the demand.
Stock exchange seats during 1925
commanded thei- best prices early in
the year. or before the slump in the
market that started in March and
April. A membership sold on Feb
ruary l brought 100000, the high of
the year. On October II, or when
stock prices had reached the bottom
of the slump, seat brought only
$4,000. the low price of the year.
