s. &c. Completes Evidence
On Multiple Trading
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Securities Commission con-
cluded its evidence today in hear
ing on multiple trading with sta
tistics showing that the volume of
trading in securities handled by the
New York Stock Exchange was 767
per cent of the total volume of IL
principal exchanges in the country.
The hearing is to determine
whether the S. E. G. should order
the New York Stock Exchange to
rescind its rule which prohibits its
members who also are members of
regional exchanges from trading on
the latter exchanges in securities
which are listed also in New York.
The statistical data was submitted
by Raymond Vernon, financial
analyst for the S. E. c. They showed
that in 1929 the New York Exchange
volume was only 62.1 per cent Of
the total.
Timothy Pfeiffer. New York Ex-
change counsel, objected to submis-
sion of the statistical data unless it
was shown precisely why they were
being entered as evidence.
Gerhard A Gesell, S. E. c. coun-
sci, then said that he felt that the
subdivisions relating to the manner,
method and place of soliciting busi-
ness and to odd lot purchases and
sales, clearly were related to the pro-
ceeding, but that it might later be
shown that some other subdivisions
had a bearing on the hearing.

Jay N. Whipple, Chicago, who said
that he represented the smaller or

Insurance Official
Opposes Competitive

Kuhn Calls S. (. {.
Plan Unwise and

Ry the Associated Press.
c. John Kuhn, Newark, N. j.. in
surance official, said today that a
Securities Commission staff pro-
posal to compel competitive bidding
on utility issues of more than ST.
100000 was "unwise, impractical and
undesirable"
Kuhn was the first witness called
today as opponents of the recon-
mendation. led by the Investment
Bankers Association of America, re-
newed their attack at public con-
ference called oy the S. E. c.
Chairman Jerome Frank interro-
gated Mr.. Kuhn frequently, taking
issue with the witness inSlStence
that the 1888 securities act was
major factor in the development OF
private placement of securities, that
is, their purchase by insurance
companies.
Mr.. Frank said Hitler started the
war since the 1888 act but I see no
relaClOn DeCWeen Ille tWO.
Evasion Efforts Foreseen.
Mr.. Kuhn asserted that lit is a
safe bet that intrigue and man
euvers of all sorts will come into
effect in an effort to evade the
law" if competitive bidding was
made compulsory.
Some sections of the 1888 act,
he added, had led businessmen to
evade the spirit of the law, and
the proposed step would lead them
to 60 further.
While Kuhn was discussing the
importance of a professional re-
lationship" between issuers and their
bankers, Frank declared that in
vestigation by Congress and the S.
E. c. showed that "the old nego-
tiations resulted in trust inden-
lures which were miserably made
uuate in their protection of in
vestors."
Frank said that some underwrit-
ing firms represented in this room"
were shown to have participated in
such negotiations and that it had
taken an act of Congress to clear
up the situation.

the conference was only a fraction
