In addition to that, De Jean,

STOCK EXCHANGES
CLOSE TWO DAYS

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-P)-All
stock exchanges in the United
States will be closed Friday and
Saturday in heightened obser-
vance of the Columbus Day holi.
day.
Most of the country's commodity
markets will be closed Friday but
will resume normal operations for
the short Saturday operations fo-
tons to the Friday suspensions
will be the various livestock
markets.
Acting to give its member firms
an opportunity to catch up with
routine work piled up by lack
of trained help, the Mex York
Stock Exchange took the lead late
Yesterday by announcing it would
extend the Friday shut down to
include Saturday. The New York
Curb Exchange followed the ex-
ample and today the exchanges
in other principal cities fell into
line, after meetings of their gov
errors.
Governors of the New York Cot
ton Exchange had previously can
vassed the situation and determin>
ed to operate on Saturday and the
New Orleans Cotton Exchange
followed suit. The big Chicago
Grain Market will also function as
usual during the abbreviated
Saturday session as will other
smaller commodity trading places.
An exception will be the New York
Wool Tops Market, which will
close.
The whole question suspending
operations among major financial
institutions was being discussed
in high quarters today following
the lead of the Brooklyn Trust
Co. yesterday in openly cam.
paigning to line up all the large
banks in New York city behind
such proposition.
The New York Clearing House
was expected soon to
name a special committee to study
the situation and the belief was
widely held in financial circles
that the committee would recon-
mend such a step before the end
of the year.
Among arguments for year
round closings on Saturdays was
the growing difficulty in obtain
ing and holding personnel against
the competition of other types OF
business which operate on five
day basis.
Dow, Jones and Co., business
news service, said in a discussion
of the situation that should the
New York city banks elect to close
throughout the year on Saturdays,
the New York Exchange and Curb
Exchange would take similar &C
ton.
