Candidates for the London Stock Exchange must be re- commended by three members who must engage to pay 2500 to the creditors of the candidate in ease the latter should be declared a defaulter within four years from the date of his admission. He must be nominated by an existing member, who thereapon ceases to be a member of the Stock Exchange, The present value of a nomination is about £30.
