between themselves.
Deliveries From or To Banks.—By special arrangements,
the Stock Clearing Corporation also makes the services of its
Central Delivery Department available to the New York banks,
for deliveries of securities which the latter make to or receive
from Stock Exchange firms. A given bank, for example, can
deliver here during the day all securities going to all Stock
Exchange houses, and receive here all securities coming from
all Stock Exchange houses, and settle with one check at the end
of the day. Similarly, a Stock Exchange firm can obtain the
same advantages with all the securities which it has to deliver
to all New York banks which employ the Central Delivery
Department. Incorporated banks cannot be members of the
Stock Exchange, and cannot be bound by Stock Clearing Cor-
poration rules in the same way that Stock Exchange clearing
members are. The relations of the incorporated banks and
trust companies to the clearing system are fixed by special
agreements. Therefore, somewhat different practices in respect
to comparisons, delivery tickets, contingent lists, and methods
of payment are employed with security deliveries to or from
banks, than with those which occur between Stock Exchange
members.”
A further extension of*these non-member deliveries through
the Central Delivery Department occurred in 1930, whereby
the Stock Clearing Corporation made it possible for two non-
member banking institutions in New York .to receive and
deliver securities with each other through the facilities of the
Central Delivery Department.
Future Development of Security Handling.—The inaugu-
ration of the Central Delivery Department has already effected
great economies to Stock Exchange firms and also to New
York banks. Under the former system of delivering securities
