Show With the beginning of the new year the market mar-ket in Utah mining stocks in which there was such a renewal of activity during 1915, assumed almost the proportions of the boom days and the biggest market noted here in years is being enjoyed en-joyed by the speculative and investment public, the brokers, and all who have any interest in the stock exchange. In this connection the governing .board of the exchange should make a hard and fast rule, compelling com-pelling those companies whose stocks are es- wecially active and which aro not listed on tho T board, to list the stocks Immediately. The listing list-ing fee Is only $,100 and It Is a poor company that cannot afford to properly place Its stock on the board. Under the present method of trading it Is manifestly unfair to tho puhllc, the brokers and to the properties, and tho only way that all of them can get a square deal is by listing the stocks. If It is necessary to resort to harsh measures, a rule should be made prohibiting trading in an active stock unless it is listed. And iby the same token, everything possible should bo done to prevent pre-vent quotations or any other publicity in the daily press. At every call there is almost a riot when the grading begins in Palomia, Sells, Michigan-Utah and other active issues, and they should be invited in-vited to come in or stay out. |
