APPENDIX
3. If, by reason of the neglect or inattention of a member, an order to
sell is not executed when the stock sells at or through its price, and the
stock declines thereafter, or the reverse, the member should take or supply
the customer’s stock, as the case may be, at the price of the order, as covered
by the tape, in which case he is not acting as a broker, and shall charge no
commission,
4. If a reporter has not been received from a specialist on an order
which he should have executed, the specialist is responsible for any loss
which may be sustained to the opening price of the following day. The
member or firm giving the specialist the order is responsible for any
subsequent loss unless the order was for the account of an out-of-town
member, in which case the foregoing loss should be borne jointly by the
New York member and the out-of-town member,
5. If a specialist accepts an order, and later states in writing, or verbally
to a member, that the order has been executed, the specialist is responsible
for said execution if it has been covered by the tape.
6. If an order is received and executed by a specialist and he reports in
writing, or verbally to a member, that the order was not executed, the
specialist cannot compel the member to accept a report subsequently.
7. The price at which an order is executed on‘the Exchange shall be
binding, notwithstanding the {fact that an erroneous report in respect
thereto may have been rendered; and no member shall assume or pay any
part of the difference between the price at which an order is executed and
the price at which it may have been erroneously reported. (Section 10,
Chapter II of the Rules.)
8. A specialist is responsible for all orders which are given by members
to any person designated by said specialist to receive orders for him.
Give-Up orders received by wire must be confirmed by both parties
(see Circular C-1274).
The stating by a party to a transaction of the name of a member or
firm, other than the actual contracting parties, is known as a “give-up.”
(Chapter II, Sec. 8 of Rules.)
Unless a “give-up” is part of the original bid or offer, the brokers who
execute the trade are the responsible parties. A floor broker or specialist
is responsible to the other contracting party unless the “give-up” is part of
the original bid or offer. (Chapter I, Sec. 14 of Rules.)
On Order. This term is used when a member has orders from twa
principals to buy and to sell and not to give up, in which case he must
add to his name on the report the words “on order.” (Chapter XI, Sec. 1
of Rules.)
Commissions must be charged on purchases and sales of securities dealt
in upon the Exchange under all circumstances, which include orders exe-
cuted for fellow members during their temporary or other absence from
the crowd.
The bunching of selling orders in stocks or bonds by several members,
one of said members offering and disposing of the entire lot and not
charging his associates in the sale any commission, is contrary to the
Commission Law.
Where a specialist or other member has a joint account with another
member, members’ rates of commission must be charged upon all trans-
actions made for said account.
