NEW YORK, Jan. A. To
~ realize exactly what the
New York Stock Exchange
is, it is best to go back to its
beginnings.
Back ia years ago, men in
high beaver hats met in what was
then an unpaved lane called Wall
Street. Under a spreading but
tonwood tree they gathered daily
to buy and sell stocks, bonds,
and other securities. The button
wood tree was simply a conven-
lent place to meet and transact
their business.
That whole vast brick-and-stone
block down in the canyons of to-
days Wall Street is simply to-
days elaborate version of the
buttonwood tree.
The aims of the New York
Stock Exchange, according to its
constitution, are simply ITO fur
nish exchange rooms and other
facilities for the convenient trans
action of their business by its
members; to maintain high stand
ards of commercial honor and in
tegrity among its members, and
to promote and inculcate just and
equitable principles Of trade and
business"
EXCHANGE HAS
NOTHING TO SELL
The New York Stock Exchange
Is voluntary association. 1t is
not a corporation. 1t doesn't sell
anything.
You'd be surprised, members
tell you. how many people think
the exchange is like store, and
has stocks and bonds on its
shelves for sale, just like cans Of
sardines in a grocery.
There are just 1878 members Of
the exchange. You can't become
a member unless some member
dies or for some other reaso"
wants to sell its membership. And
not then unless the sale is ap-
proved by the other members. In
that respect, the exchange is just
like club.
But in addition to approval, you
would also need at least $115,000,
which was the price at which the
last seat sold on Dec, II. Back

THE SCENES
WASHINGTON
kSY RODNEY DUTcHER-i
Democrat Washington
CORRESPONDENT
Well-Whetted New Deal
AK Ready For Senator
Copeland.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Senator
Roya. s. Copeland of New York has
said that he would be glad to bury
the Ratchet with the administra-
ton, election results apparently
having suggested to him that the
New Deal enjoys a certain popu-
larity.
The administration will be glad
+ bury the Ratchet, too. The bur-
ial rites, If possible, will be per-
formed in the region Of the sena-
tors neck.
A certain section Of the New
Deal doghouse is being prepared for
Senator Copeland, in which virtual
ly his on1..' companion will be the
over-ebullient young Senator Rush
D. Holt of West Virginia. The cur
rent "era of good feeling" may or
may not be what it's cracked up to
be, but it isn't being cracked up at
all for Holt or Copeland.
Copeland, somewhat after the
manner of Holt, took a walk In
the last campaign, though he
didn't walk as far as AL Smith.
After a few hard slams at the adj
ministration before Tammany's
150th celebration and refusal to
be a delegate to the Philadelphia
convention, he took himself off
to the Holy Land. Subsequently
he endeared himself to the state
department by demanding that 1t
protest the wal Great Britain was
handling affairs in Palestine.
Mrs. Copeland made at least one
republican speech, promising that
several members of her family
would vote without
mentioning her husband.
1t Sounds Embarrassing
The senator Is chairman OF the
senate commerce committee, which
handles merchant marine legisla-
ton, but there's some doubt
whether he will be as vocal in the
shipping field as in the past. A
few newspapers recently published
excerpts from correspondence indi-
eating that the senator had asked
for free passes on steamship line
to Bermuda.
The correspondence showed that
Copeland had obtained, or had
been asked to obtain, certain ia
vors for the Munson line and that
later the lines representative in
Washington had written C.. w.
Munson to the effect that Cope
land h ad indicated a desire to
take trip to Bermuda with Mrs.
Copeland. 1t appeared that the
representative had assured the
senator of the Courtesy Of the
line" feeling "sure that Mr..
Frank G. Munson would do this,
in view Of the very valuable as
sistance we have recently receiv-
ed from the senator"
Frank Munson wrote a few days
later that Senator Copeland would
prefer tickets rather than passes,
and I am glda to enclose them In
his favor"
When questioned, Copeland said
he didn't recall the correspond
ence.
