shares. No transactions are taken notice of which are not actually put through by mem bers themselves. One of the reasons for this is that a certain section of the guileless public. are not above quoting extraordinary prices to brokers in the hope that theas may be ro peated and so grow into the market price. Ar far as care and a desire for accuincy can' go every possible effort is made to avoid quoting bogus prices of any kind. "Misleading" would perbaps have done better to sigo himself "Misled," unless it be that he wishes to mis- lead others into the same suspicious byways as he himself seems to haunt. He suggests that the report of prices done for forward delivery show when worked out an absurdly large margin which is supposed to represent interest on money för the time between date of contract and date of delivery. Quite so, but has "Misleading" ever heard of the law of "supply and demand which has quite a large influence over most markets, oved the Ran goon share market ;` and that if, aman-desires to buy shares for delivery some time abead he must pay what the cheaper seller wants, whatever interest he may seem to be paying on his money? I hold no brief on behalf of this kind of speculation, the dangers of which sro obvious, but I resent as I think do-ali other members of the Stock Exchange the imputation that we are knowingly publishing bogus prices. Rome was not built, in a day, and a system by which absolute honesty can be enforced bar anfortunately not yet been hit upon in Rangoon. All I would suggest is that the Rangoon Stock Exchange is doing. its best against very heavy odds to protect the public against rascality to sbare dealing. In conclusion I feel sure that all the other mem. bern would agree with ma in welcoming your correspondent should ha care to drop in some days at two o'clock when the sharp list is being compiled, when he' could see for himself the methods employed and might perhaps` offer some valuable suggestions. His one sugges. tion that the number of shares dope lo each | Sold in ib, pats to suit convenience of transaction be recorded is, I fear, obviously
