Big Board, Have Their Mar- ket Wires Closed by Order of the Governors. | | NONE OF THE OFFICIALS MADE AN EXPLANATION. | Consolidated Exchange Deal- | ings Talked Of, but Officer Says Nobody Is Accused of Breaking the Rules, ‘The telephones of eleven firms, mem- bers of the New York Stock Exchange, were ordered out of the exchange to- day by the authorities of the big board, No public explanation was given, and | the firms affected refused to discuss the matter, The following firms have had their telephones cut out: J. A. Blair & Son, 5. L. Blood pany, Mendham Brother. een & Company, | Alley, Conger & cher, Jr, Roborg | & Manice, Yates, Ritchle & Pope, Rob- orts, Cahn & Company, and J. F, Pler- on, jr., & Company. During recent trials involving trad- | ings on the exchanges {t came to light |that different brokerage firms would met the price of a stock on the New York Stock Exchange, which at the same time was selling for a lower price on the Consvildated; sell the stock it the highest price on one exchange fand buy it back at a lower price on the other exchange, thereby making sure proilt. This system of arbitrage Is forbidden on the Stock Exchange. One of the Governors of the exchange discussing the cutting out of the tele- phones, eald: “None of the firms whose ‘phones were cut 1s accused of anything; they are only suspected. If any will prove that they have been unjustly treated the Stock Exchange Governors will write x letter of apology and restore all privileges,” It Is said the Governing Bonrd decided last night on the action that was taken, giving orders to the man in charge of the electrical equipment to cut off cer- tain telephones, and the first thing the brokers knew of the action was when they got down this morning and found the lines “dead.” Members of the exchange say the sus- pension of the telephone privilege is practically equivalent to cutting off | membership in the exchange. It {s al-| most impossible under present condi- tions to do up-to-date trading by mes- senger and to compete with other houses in regular commission business. ‘The Committee on Arrangement, upon whose recommendation the service was discontinued, has entire direction of the telephone and telegraph connections of the Exchange, as well ae the enforce- ment of various rules of the board, Its powers being of a police nature and absolute, As {ndicating that further action ts to be taken in the matter, several of the inembers alfected have been served by { Chairman Maury, of the Committee on | Arrangements, with notices to submit thelr books, papers and records to the | Committee.’ Under the Constitution any member who falls to comply with & request of i cominittee inay be subject | to expulsion, | In addition to this request some of | the members have been notified that, If | they wish their telephones restored, they must make «a new apovlication, When such is made the applicant must show what fs termed a “clean bill of health.” All aid even at the season’s SATURDAY we bring It and other leading On 7 bi | FANCY VESTS.
