Multiple Trading Ban
Is Raped at Hearing

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-B -
Officials of four regional exchanges
testified today in opposition to a
New York Stock Exchange rule
restricting it's members activities
in other exchanges.
The hearing was called by the
securities commission to determine
whether it should order the New
York exchange to rescind it's prohi-
bition against multiple trading.
This rule forbids a member of the
New York exchange who also is a
member of a regional exchange to
trade for his own account on the
latter exchange in securities which
are listed in New York.
This has the effect of preventing
New York exchange members from
acting as odd lot dealers on the re.
gional exchanges.
