Among the biggest winners if F1hey could be called that. and the ,safest ones. too. are the members of the Exchange. The individual houses have never done so much business and the commissions of the ..big dealers are gigantic.
 < One big house is credited with shandlinS s4o,o0o shares in one day. although 1t refused 10 either con- firm or deny the report. If true, its commissions would be somewhere between slo6. .00o-tile lowest esti- mate-and s4ao,oOo-the highest The divergence in these figures is explained by the varying commits missions. On 100 shares of stock 'he commissions vary from s15 to $50 according to it's selling price. With the active traders during the last few big days estimated at 600, their average commissions would be around sc,oo0 on a 100000 share market.
 Want Relief
 Some harassed traders, looking for relief from the strain of the over Y helminc markets, have started movement to limit trading on tn" Exchange to five days.
 This followed failure of the board Of governors to take action on q petition for a three-day holiday starting Good Friday. April 6.
 Bookkeeping ordinarily a matter of secondary consideration. has be- come a vital market factor with the clerical staffs Of the brokerage house. forced to handle a volume of business far beyond the capacity t1 which they are Keared.
 Although the Exchange has been closed on Good Friday every year sInce 1900 except in 1905 and 19oT it was recently decided that it would lose only on legal holidays.
 Ticker Fails
 The rule was adopted, however. at time when no one envisioned the present 4,hoo 6on share markets.
 Failure Of the ticker 10 keep up with the trading also is giving opeF- ators concern. The system of ab- f1reviated quotations adopted recent ly is all that has kept the present markets from being lost in hope ress confusion. Under the old sys- on1. observers believe. the ticker would have been two hours or rnora behind the market instead of thirty Tuesday.

CHICAGO. Jan. 14.-President
William Week. OF the Chicago
Cubs, while refusing to commit
himself in so many words, hinted
strongly today that the Bcuins
were dickering with the Boston
Braves for the services Of Rogers
Hornsby, baseball's latest mystery
man."
It is reliably reported that
officials Of the Cubs. via long
distance telephone, have already
made a definite offer for the
sIugging second baseman. The
offer is said to involve players,
with money as an ALTERNATIVES"
Veeck seemed not at all alarmed
over published reports tina New
York gangsters were offered a prize
to send Hornsby back to st. Louis
in a box-because he "defaulted
on some racing bets. He indicated
that he would be perfectly willing
to invest in the valuable Giants
castoff.
Incidentally. the furore that fol-
lowed announcement of Hornsby .
surprising transfer was Quieted by
Commissioner X. NJ. Lands when,
at his office here. he declared he
could see nothing behind the move
that would indicate 1t was anything
but an affair between ball clubs.
