The suspension of trading on the New York Stock Exchange for more than four months following the outbreak of World War I fostered a substitute market on New Street as a source of liquidity. The New Street market suffered from impaired price transparency because its transactions were not disseminated on the NYSE ticker and its quotations were blacklisted at the leading newspapers. This paper shows that despite the incomplete information flow and the somewhat wider bid-ask spreads compared with the New York Stock Exchange, New Street offered economically meaningful liquidity services. The interference with price transparency turned an individual stock’s reputation for liquidity into an important added variable in explaining the structure of bid-ask spreads on New Street. 2 I. Introduction It is not so surprising that the outbreak of World War I forced the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) to close.

  • [List of Stocks Registered on National Securities Exchanges]
    F e d e r a l R e s e r v e Ba n k O F D A LLA S Dallas, Texas, July 29, 1953 To All Banking Institutions in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District: On June 9, 1953 we sent you a copy of Amendment No. 12 to Regulation U which is to become effective August 1, 1953. A principal provision of the amendment is that a bank loan for the purpose of purchas­ ing or carrying a “redeemable security” issued by an “ open-end company” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, whose assets customarily include stocks registered on a national securities exchange, shall be deemed under the regulation to be a loan for the purpose of purchasing or carrying a stock so registered. The amendment also provides that in determining whether or not a security is a “ redeemable security,” a bank may rely upon any reasonably current record of such securities that is published or specified in a publication of the Board of Governors. This, of course, adopts the same procedure as that specified in the regulation for determining whether or not a security is a “ stock registered on a national securities exchange,” and in the past the Board has published a “ List of Stocks Registered on National Securities Exchanges.” This list has now been revised and expanded to include also a list of “redeem­ able securities” of the type covered under the regulation by Amendment No. 12 thereto. A copy of this list dated June, 1953 and listing such stocks and securities as of March 31, 1953 is enclosed.

  • Century Economy for Baltimore 4
    Banking for a Baltimore Undivided Confronting Race and Class to Increase Opportunity and Equity for People and Neighborhoods For too long, Baltimore’s people and communities have had little or no say in the direction of the government or how tax dollars are spent. They do not determine how their communities are developed, and so they have watched as government has gone into debt to fund the development of downtown areas - while neglecting the very real needs of neighborhoods throughout the rest of the city. The Baltimore uprising of 2015 brought long festering problems to the forefront and showed that Baltimore needs transformational change - not tinkering with the status quo. The investment strategies and policies for the past 60 years are no longer relevant or feasible. A Joshua Harris Administration is ready to enact enabling legislation to fund investment strategies that make sense in 21st century Baltimore. This plan, based upon successful urban policies from throughout the United States and the world, will empower the residents of Baltimore to decide the future direction of their city. I recognize the community economic challenges facing Baltimore will not be fixed by the next Mayor alone, but by a Mayor who authentically involves community in every strata of a community economic development vision. It will be fixed by the people, first at the neighborhood level and then as a united city, working together for a better future. As Mayor, we will work to ensure the full participation of our residents in creating a united 21st century city. The plan will shift power from City Hall, big developers and Wall Street to people, neighborhoods and communities - because the people who are most affected by Baltimore’s problems are the ones who have the solutions.

The Deepening Crisis: March 1938 – October 1938 1938 is always seen as a watershed in the persecution of the ‘Jews’1 as it was the year when geopolitical changes brought more ‘Jews’ under German rule and when antisemitic policies were substantially radicalized. Yet even before the Anschluss, the Nazis were becoming increasingly worried about the slow pace of Jewish emigration. Their own policies, combined with immigration restrictions elsewhere, had served to limit the numbers able to leave. At the same time, Nazi strategy itself was contradictory, with the ‘Jews’ being pressed to leave while simultaneously being stripped of the assets that would have made them acceptable immigrants in other countries. Nevertheless, individual emigration remained the Nazi strategy for making Germany judenfrei and in general, everything possible was done to hasten the emigration of the – albeit increasingly impoverished – ‘Jews’. A number of official instructions were issued to facilitate this. For example, the police record of Jewish emigrants could be ‘cleansed’ to make them more acceptable to countries of immigration. Professional qualifications that were in demand were also included on passports, and the Handwerkskammern were authorised to issue papers certifying the professional knowledge of Jewish emigrants.2 A partial solution to the fundamental contradictions in Nazi policy was found in more overt state violence and schemes for collective forced emigration that removed individual initiative or choice in destination. The latter element was tried at the beginning of 1938.
