New Reason Found
To Use Frequency
system of Stations

BOSTON P).-An added rea-
son for using the classification
of radio stations according to
frequencies instead of the older
classification according to wave
lengths has been discovered by
technician here.
A troubled fan, whose old-type
set failed to tune in the higher
frequencies, sought the techni-
clans advice. The fan said that
he feared his aerial was too high
since he could tune in only the
higher wavelengths. How much
should he lower the aerial, he
wondered, in order to get the
lower wavelengths.

OF EXCHANGE SEATS
Drop Of 100000 in Quoted Price
Reflects Break in
Market.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, June s.-That excellent
financial barometer, the price of seats
on the New York stock Exchange, re-
Aected the recent drop in the volume
of trading by decreasing in value $780,
900.
The last membership to be trans
ferred brought $525,ooo compared with
the peak price Of 1925 900 obtained last
February. In the early part OF the
year, when the average daily volume
was approximately 5000 900 shares, the
exchange membership was increased by
$50.
The present volume of trading is
around 100000 shares daily This de-
crease, together with the increase in
the number of memberships, has made
the business of floor trading less profit
able.
The prices paid for memberships
since 1889, when one could be obtained
for $4,000, are an accurate picture of
the ups and downs of American pros
perity
The era Of big prices began in 1919,
when seats first sold at six figures. In
1921 1922 ana 1923 the highest re-
corded prices were 100000. Beginning
with 1875, the figures leapsd upward
