§ 17. Mr. FIELDasked the President of the Board of Trade whether he is aware that seven Bills drafted by the Governor of New York State with the object of introducing Stock Exchange reforms were introduced on 5th February, 1913, into the State Senate, New York; whether he is aware that Wall Street Stock Exchange has adopted a rule against so-called bogus sales; and whether he will cause official inquiries to be made in New York and lay full particulars of these Bills, as well as the Stock Exchange rule, upon the Table for the benefit of the House?
Mr. ROBERTSONI understand that seven laws affecting corporations were recently enacted in the State of New Jersey, but I have no information as to the Stock Exchange rule to which reference is made. I will take steps to obtain a report on both subjects, and will communicate the result to my hon. Friend.
