Stock Exchange, purchased property in Trinity Place, erected an
exchange building there, and thus transformed itself into an organized
stock exchange. Its volume of activity has been second among Ameri-
can stock exchanges only to the New York Stock Exchange. Its
indoor status has permitted the adoption and enforcement of dis-
ciplinary rules, and its evolution as an organized market has thus
been assured. Naturally, the character of dealings upon it has been
sensationally improved, as compared with “the old days in Broad
Street.”
The Constitution of the New York Stock Exchange forbids its
members or firms to be members of, or to have membership in, any
other stock exchange in New York City which deals in the same
securities as the New York Stock Exchange. By a mutual under-
standing between the Exchange and the Curb, the latter market ceases
to trade in any issue as soon as it is listed upon the former.
(IVA) Specifically these documents consist of (1) a memorandum
in regard to copies of corporate papers, etc., required for the files
of the Exchange; (2) the requirements themselves, with special sup-
plementary requirements for (3) foreign internal shares and (4)
investment trust securities; (5) a questionnaire to be signed by an
officer of the applicant company; (6) a formal resolution by the cor-
poration to apply for listing; (7) special agreements to be entered
into between the applicant and the New York Stock Exchange; and
distribution statements for (8) bond and (9) shares issues.

quired by the Committee on Stock List, as follows:
