To-day, Thanksgiving day, being a
legal holiday the New York Stock
Exchange, Curb Exchange and the
other leading security markets OF the
country are closed. The security
markets also will be closed Friday and
Saturday.
Arrangements have been made for
the transfer Of q seat on the New York
Stock Exchange for $360,000, an in
crease of $4,000 over the previously
recorded sale. Identity of the buyer
and seller was not made known.
The members of the governing commit
tee of the New York Stock Exchange
today adopted a resolution expressing
to Richard Whitney, vice president of
the exchange their appreciation of
his efficient and conscientious labors
during the severe financial disturbance
of October and November, 1929; their
admiration for the rare qualities of
leadership displayed by him, and their
conviction that these qualities proved
Of tneStifnable value to the exchange"
The responsibility of leading the ex-
change through the troublesome period
devolved upon Mr.. Whitney, as Presi-
dent e. H. H. Simmons was In Honolulu
on his honeymoon.
The first 81 railroads Of the country
reporting October earnings had an
aggregate net operating income Of
$S6,S66 900, compared with $104,552, 900
In october, 1928, a decrease Of T.3 per
cent. Last month the figure for the
same companies was v,809 900.
The seat on the New York STOCK
Exchange which was sold last week for
$3.50, 900 was that of George e. BarStow,
jr,, of BarStow & Co. Mr. BarStow was
admitted to the exchange in November,
1920, when the price of seats ranged
between $85 900 and $115,000. The seat
was sold to Harvey C. Lawder.
