YOUR

How Brokers Are Checked
.pY SYLVIA PORTER

man Bidwell, the chairman of
the NYSE itself, have raised
questions in the minds of many
people about the safety of
funds and securities entrusted
to stock brokers.
The fact is, that If you deal
with a member of a leading
exchange, you should have lit
tie, if anything, to worry about
on this score. This is particu-
larly true of members of the
NYSE, for they are. as the Big
Boards president Keith Funs-
ton says governed by perhaps
the most exacting code of busi-
ness ethics in existence"
Consider some of the rules
and regulations which protect
their financial position and
thus protect the customer.
Each firm belonging to the
NYSE which carries public ac-
counts must maintain a mini
mum net capital of $50, 900 or
one-twentieth of its total in
debtedneSs, whichever is great

it must put up additional cap

value. Other securities also
are valued conservatively.

NUMISMATIC NOTES
Muuritius Coinuqe

Mauritius, in the Indian
Ocean, was visited by Arab,
Malay and Portuguese sea-
men over a period Of five
centuries before the Dutch
made a settlement on the un-
inhabited island in 1898.
They called it Mauritius
after their ruler, Prince
Maurice of Orange. But the
settlement did not prosper
and was abandoned in ITO.
Five years later the French
arrived, renamed the island
lie de France, and set up a
naval stronghold from which
they raided English shipping
in Far Eastern waters. An
English force seized the
island in 1910 and four years
later, by the Treaty of Paris,
it became an English colony.
While the English were be-
sieging the island in 1910 the
French issued an emergency
coin of silver dollar size with
a value of 10 French livres.
The first English coins with
the name MauritiuS were so
and rs sous struck of base
silver in 1922 at the Calcutta
mint in India.
In 1876 the rupee of 100
cents was established as the
only legal tender for the is
land. Subsidiary coinage is
sued in 1877 consisted of 20,

AZ least eight new ad-
hesive stamps. two embossed

Sions Of the postal rate bill
expected to receive final
Congressional approval this
week.
Effective date Of the legis-
lation, as approved by the

officials explained that the
date was changed from jan
uary / because business firms
are asked to hold up large
mailings during the Christ
mas season and It would be
unfair to penalize them for
cooperating by making a
rate increase effective on
New Years Day.
First class letters win go
from 4 to 5 cents. air mail
from 2 to 8 cents, postal
cards from 3 to 4 cents end
air mail post cards from 5
TO Q cents.

the luxurious bedspread or
