NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-The man.
agement of the New York Stock
Exchange has disclosed the engage
ment Of outside experts to conduct
a searching analysis Of reasons for
the curtailment of stock trading on
the exchange floor.
William McC. Martin, jr., presi-
dent, announced that the engineer
ing firm of Stevenson, Jordan &
Harrison would undertake "a broad
study of problems affecting the ex-
change and the securities business
generally"
Trading volume in the exchange
has shown considerable shrinkage
in recent years, but brokers have
become particularly discouraged
over the decline of the last several
weeks to the lowest volume figures
since 1918.
I'm this survey" said Mr.. Martin,
the exchange will seek the solution
not only of problems which arise
from time to time, but will also
appraise the conditions which have
brought about a reduction in the
volume Of business on the exchange
with the view to determining
whether there are possible remedies. >
Exchange spokesmen said the
engineering firms factual study
would cover broad ground, including
legislative and other influence;
