BULL MARKET aids
CROOKED DEALERS
Makes Promotion Of Unsound
Stocks Easier

New York, Oct. IS R-Continued
bullish stock markets appear to have
become the graveyard of the old
time bucket shops" but fertile pas
ture for the modern "tipster sheet
and promoters. The "bucket shop
| could not Withstand steadily rising
| prices, which are first aid to the
! tipster.
Despite activities OF federal and
ness organizations to Suppress news
publications issued to induce buy
ers of spurious or worthless stock.
and to halt the work of professional
tipsters interested in promoting Sc
curities of limited value, many of
them have persisted in business.
Some are behind the bars or are
so closely watched as to preclude
resumption of their nefarious ac-
tivities, but others, finding legitimate
avenues of public approach through
the mails or the press closed to
| them, have temporarily substituted
the telephone or the telegraph for
the typewriter and give over the
wires the hot tips" once a feature
of their market news Sheets"
The editorial room" thus becomes
boiler room" equipped with bat
terry of telephones manned by silver
tongued statesmen whose talent is
employed to wheedle investments
from the unwary. 1t has been es-
timated that telephone bills running
into thousands of dollars weekly
have been paid by such establish
ments, so numerous have been the
original calls, the "follow-ups" and
the high pressure" sales talks de-
livered day and night in an effort
to obtain investments before the
opportunity is lost. Sucker lists, :"
as the catalogs of prospective in
vestors are known, are obtained in
many and devious ways and not even
experienced market operators and
fnanCiers are overlooked.
Investigations. which frequently
end in suppression and punishment
of the offenders, bat rarely produce
concrete remuneration for duped in
voz, ors, almost in, iiably disclose
similar characteristics in the opera
tons of promoters. Their market
news letters" mix reliable but an
Gent observations with specific rec
concentrations for the accumulation
of securities. which. if not spurious,
are the highly speculative, unlisted
and unsound stock Of obscure, and
not always going. concerns. The
promoters bought a majority of it
at low price and depend upon SELL
ing pressure and public gullibility to
create a promising future and an &C
tive market.
The promoters, controlling the
market, make wash" or fictitious
sales at rising prices. They invent
Favorable developments for dis
closure to intended pui chasers over
the telephone or in the market
letters" Sales by telephone or tcle-
graph, and usually by mail, prevent
the making of any contract and con-
sequently delivery of the stock is
/ left largely to chance. Indeed the
promoter has little interest in de-
liveries. His organization provides
few or no facilities for this import
ant phase OF the work Of legitimate
commission houses. His interest
ends with the sale and collection of
the cash.
