(IVi) “When a new stock is put on the exchange, or any great 
exchange like the New York Stock Exchange, there is one thing that 
is very necessary, and that is that its price shall be steady. When 
you have no active market in a stock, when you are building up an 
active market in a new stock, the first thing a banking house does, 
what it wants to do, and what it must do, whether it makes a profit 
or loss out of it, is to steady the price of the stock. If people come 
in to buy 6,000 or 7,000 shares of stock, and there is not much aroand 
if they do not sell the stock it will be bid way up, and have a big 
advance. On the other hand, if somebody comes in to sell 6,000 or 
7,000 shares, and there are no large buying orders in there, the 
price of the stock is going to be a great deal lower than it would 
be otherwise. If you put in buying orders on a scale down and 
selling orders on a scale up, the effect of that is to steady the price 
of the stock. Its fluctuation is not as violent or as wide as it would 
be otherwise.” (Money Trust Investigation, pp. 1282-1283, testimony 
of Mr. Henry; quoted in Regulation of the Stock Exchange, Dp. 542.) 
(IVj) “Stocks in a liquidating market pass from what are de-

those who buy them and carry them with borrowed money to those 
who buy them and pay for them. . . . The best evidence, Congress-
