BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. Jan. 6.-The New
York Stock Exchange formally
queried its 1850 members today in
an attempt to determine their SEN
timent in regard to recent proposals
to lengthen the trading day.
Present trading hours are from
10 am. to 3 pm. the first five days
of the week and 10 to noon on Sat-
urdays.
Most important recent suggestion
was petition, said to have the sig
nature of 200 members, to extend
the closing hour, Mondays through
Fridays, to pm. Members were
also queried regarding the poSSi-
bility of $3.50 closing hour, and on
proposals to close on Saturdays,
either in the summer or throughout
the year.
Suggestions have been made re-
peatedly in recent years to lengthen
hours, in the hope that additional
business might be developed. Turn
over on the exchange has been re-
stricted during the last decade COM
pared with the boom years of the
late 'tWenties, and several stock eX-
change memberships recently sold at
the lowest price since 1899.

Realizing that changes IN our
hours NAV deeply affect the
conduct of your business, and that Of
other organizations. such as the
banks and the press. we are hopeful
that in expressing your opinion on
these proposals consideration will be
given to the convenience of your
customers, operating costs and the
impact of the change on allied Or
ganizatlons.
Previous moves TO lengthen buSi-
ness hours on the exchange have
been shelved as a result, at least in
part. of protests from newspapers.
