D. {. Brokers Oppose
Proposed Saturday
Closing Of Market
BY EDWARD C. STONE.

by EDWAhD ". SIUNE.
Washington brokers are strongly
opposed to year-around closing oil
the New York Stock Exchange or
Saturdays and the adding of halt
hours trading to the daily sessions
during the rest of the week, it was
learned In the financial district yes
, terday.
Since the Government depart
1nents adopted Saturday closing, the
brokerage houses are jammed to the
doors with Federal employees who
find Saturday forenoons the only
time in the week when they can
consult their brokers and customers
men personally about investments
as well as watch market quotations
on the electric boards.
The Exchange offices are expert
encing the same rush of business
that prevails in Capital banks on
Saturdays. Several brokerage firm
officials said that even if the New
York Stock Exchange should vote
to close on Saturdays, and it is a
big 'if," they would remain open
in order to give customers desired
investment service.
Poll Favorable to Closing.
The Association of Stock Ex-
change Firms recently took a poll
of members on the two proposals
and found majority favorable
both to Saturday closing and longer
sessions on other days. The matter
has not yet been taken up with
President Emil Schram of the New
York Stock Exchange or the Board
of Governors.
? Washington brokers stated that
II there should be any change in
the Exchange schedule, it would not
be likely to go into effect before
next September or October. There
will be no Saturday closing unless
the New York banks also close.
Banking legislation by the New
York State Assembly is required
and a bill calling for year-around
Saturday closing will encounter Sc
we're opposition from banks in in
dustrial cities which find week end
business very active.
The Exchange is expected to close
Saturdays during the summer as it
did last year. During these months
there would be no need of longer
sessions on other days, as there
always is letdown in speculation
and investing during the vacation
period. Opinions of the Exchange
houses In this territory were OBJ
tanned by Richard P. Dunn, partner
In Auchincloss, Parker & Redpath,
member of the Board of Governors
of the Association of Stock Exchange
Firms.
Earlier Opening Suggested.
=. Partners in brokerage houses here
asserted that if Exchange officials
should later extend daily trading,
the half hour should be added be-
fore the opening, with the gong
sounding at $50 instead of 10 O'Clock.
The market would continue to close
at 3 o'clock, giving clerks needed
time for cleaning up huge amount
of daily bookkeeping that must be
kept up to date.
Brokers pointed out that after
noon newspapers would have the
usual time to insert closing quota
tions, volume of trading in each
stock, news of the close and market
averages, service greatly appre-
cfated by all market followers.
