Show MONTREAL REVERTS TO MINIMUM PRICES MONTREAL, uct 30. As a measure to prevent brokers from being forced into liquidation on account of the recent re-cent weak markets, the Montreal stock exchange decided this morning to revert to the minimum price system which was in use for a time when the exchange reopened after closing on account ac-count of the war. The exchange opened today one hour later than usual. The failure of the exchange to open at the usual hour today cave rise to reports that brokers with heavy holdings hold-ings were confronted with ruin. It was officially stated, however, that none of these brokers are actually on the brink of failure. |
