676 " REFERENCES FOR FURTHER STUDY of the London Stock Exchange, Francis’ well-known Chronicles, and the recent study by Jenks. For continental markets, the German Sombart is a classic, and his compatriot Ehrenberg also very valuable. Sée is brief yet clear and vital. Hallam might also be consulted. The effect of the Great War (1914-18) on the securities markets is described for New York, by Noble and in the “Agricultural In- quiry”; for London by Schwabe, Whyte and Withers, “The War and Lombard Street”; for Paris by Borbeau, Manchez, Bregard and Guyot ; and for Berlin by Klebba and Kronenberger. For a general survey of the leading modern financial markets, two German works should be mentioned—Stillich’s “Die Borse und ihre Geschafte” and Taeuber’s “Die Borsen der Welt.” T. E. Gregory’s “Money Markets of the World” is useful in a supple- mentary way. Van Antwerp contains vital and readable descriptions of the stock exchanges of London, Paris, and Berlin. Gibson covers New York, London and Paris. Greenwood is also very useful and inclusive, but so detailed and encyclopedic as to become speedily out of date. For the New York Stock Exchange, the best sources (apart from the present study) are Huebner, Dice, Van Antwerp, and Martin. For the London Stock Exchange, its official annual “Rules and Regulations” should be studied. The clearest and best-arranged recent study is in French, by Decoudu. Poley and Gould is standard for its legal aspects. Hirst is brief yet deservedly popular. Ingall and Withers described pre-war conditions at more length. Branson is readable and useful. Spalding on the London money market should also be read in this connection. For the Paris stock market, the rules are published in pamphlet form for the official market by the Chambre Syndicale of the Com- pagnie des Agents de Change® and for the Coulisse or Curb market by the Syndicates for term and for cash trading. Some of the best studies on the Paris securities market reflect the friction which before 1898 occurred between the official stockbrokers’ monopoly and the free Curb market. Boissiére is a semi-official volume sympathetic to the monopoly, while Vidal (better known in this country because Englished in the National Monetary Commission Report) reflects the Coulisse advocacy of freedom of markets. Parker is an American Ph.D. thesis available in English but rather lacking in financial back- ground. Of recent works, Cavelier and Montarnal are the best. Material on the Berliner Borse is also voluminous, especially dur- ing the long and controversial period of the Borse regulations of 1896-1909. Stillich is generally considered the outstanding study.
