Figures
What TheyMeon
BY JOHN L. BECkLEY,
Associated Press Statistician.

NEW YORK, June lo.-War's vast
and sweeping blight seems to have
hit New York Stock Exchange
memberships, tumbling their value
to a mere fraction of the $625 900
top price recorded during the bull
market in the 1920s.
A membership sold a few days
ago for $4,000, a drop Of $4,000
from the years high and lowest
since 1915.
Just looking at the cold figures
it appeared odd to Wall Street OBJ
servers that an exchange seat could
be picked up at this figure after the
business in securities had shown 4
marked bulge. Stock transactions
in the exchange during Nav
amounted to nearly $1,000 900
