Wall Street Market Pays Little Attention to Bill Providing for Strict Exchange Regulations. B* RALPH HENDLRSHOT Timr. Special Financial Writer For months Wall Street has been asking itself what the marnet would do in the event a bill were introduced in congress calling for strict regulation of the stock exchanges throughout the country. Recently it had its answer, and it was nothing like what many people had been predicting. The ticker seemed to wait for a half hour or so until traders had an opportunity to look Senator King's measure over, and ihen after an 'Oh, yeah?" it went on about its business as if nothing had happened While there is a wide aiflerence between the introduction and the passage of a bill in congress, it looks as if the regulation issue should not be taken too seriously. And there are important reasons way such

should be the case. After all, it is the public which determines the action of the market in the long run, and the public at the moment seems to think the outlook is favorable. Wall Street might well be accused of takng itself too seriously on several counts, of which market operations are one. While it is true floor traders account for an important part of the tola! stock exchange trading business, they base their operations almost entirely on the public’s point of view. In other words, they attempt to beat the public to the punch, and, on the average, they are fairly successful. a a a Participation May Be Greater It makes relatively little difference to the man up in the Bronx whether or not members of the New York Stock Exchange are formed to adhere to rigid rules and regulations. In fact, he may not be ?ntirely wrong in believing that if they are being

strictly regulated his chances of making a few dollars in the market are bettered. Consequently, regulation may bring about greater public participation and bigger and better markets. The administration in Washington may learn, too, that bull or bear markets can not be prevented by exchange or other regulations The profit urge is a strong one and men even out in the sticks have been known to "hock their shirts” to try their luck at the ticker wheel. a a a a a a Foreigners Buy Stocks Much of the stock buying of late has come from Europe, according to brokers. The assumption is that Europeans are fully as impressed, if not more so. with the prospects for business in the United States as are Americans. It may be too, that some of the security purchases made here from abroad in reality represent an indirect method of bringing capital to this country in an effort to avoid future penalty Americans have been known to buy through European sources to hide their market operations. The general public is said to be in the market today to a greater extent than at any other time since last July. Some people may be inclined to discourage such extensive public participation, but this may not be a wise course. In each bull market the public has been in the habit of taking a progressively greater interest, but, unfortunately, it also has been accustomed to get in after prices have already discounted improved conditions. This time it would look as if it is using better judgment by making purchases while prices are still low. The public should not always be left "holding the bag.”

The witnesses were pale and trembling. The procession of death began at 12:13 a. m. SPONSOR REGULATION OF COMMUNICATIONS Action on Bill Decided at White House Conference By United Press WASHINGTON.

GRAIN MARKET IRREGULAR IN SMALLRANGE Corn Prices Continue Weak: Wheat, Oats Steady to Higher. BY HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Fob. 9 —Grain followed the uncertain pace set by stocks and cotton at the opening of the Board of Trade today. Wheat futures ranged from % cent lower to ’s cent higher; corn was off % to % cent, and oats was ’s cent higher. Brokers believed the technical position of grains sufficiently strengthened to warrant a lift in prices. It was the opinion of most traders that the grain market yesterday made a gallant recovery in view of the substantial rains in certain dry parts of the southwest.
