Recent improvement in the company's operation prompted the com¬ pany and the voting trustees to reopen negotiations again with theowners of the ground lease with the view to obtaining some concessions following the plan of the agreement tentatively reached in August, 1942. , However, the ground owners have not only refused to allow a reduc- *■ tion in rent or to make any other concessions, but on the contrary have! now served the company with a notice of default as a preliminary step-to the termination-of-the ground lease and repossession of the property. In our opinion a great injustice will be done to the holders of participating certificates if the ground lease is thus terminated be¬ cause of the relatively small outstanding deficiency. In fact; the rental in arrears amounts to less than an average of $81 per month from the"' beginning of the lease to date.

In the elaborate detailed statement, however, which we present further below, we are able to give the final and complete results for the week previous—the week ended Sept. 30. For that week there was an increase of 5.0%, the aggregate of clear¬ ings for the whole country having amounted to $10,529,345,224, against $10,091,548,084 in the same week in 1943. Outside of this city there was a loss of 4.8%, the bank clearings at this center having recorded an increase of 15.7%. We group the cities according to the Federal Reserve Districts in which they are located and from this it appears that in the New York District (including this city) the totals show a gain of 13.0% but in the Boston Reserve District the totals show a loss of 15.0% and in the Philadelphia Reserve District of 3.8%. In the Cleveland Reserve District the totals are smaller by 1.6%, in the Richmond Reserve District by - 7.6% and in the. Atlanta Reserve District by 1.9%. In the Chicagp Reserve District the totals record a!decline of 0.2%, in the St. Louis Reserve District of 2.9% and in the Minneapolis Reserve District of 13.5%. In the Kansas City Reserve District the falling off is 2:1%, in the Dallas Reserve District 1.9% and in the San Francisco Reserve Dis¬ Week Ending 154,430,878 7.6 — 10,403,021 34,775,001 144,900,000 2,363,563 1,735,765 ...

My purpose in spect to the general is to indicate broadly, as a matter of informa¬ tion, the process of listing and the standards of eligibility which the Exchange has established. You will understand, of course, that the requisite qualifications for listing can only be described in general terms, and that an ex¬ act formula cannot be given. An applicant company must, of course, possess certain attributes if its securities are to qualify for the kind of public market which this Exchange provides. It has been found, by experience, that writing to you . these . ! , attributes are not always available at the option of an ap¬ plicant company. Schedule A rep¬ resents listing of $50 per 10,000 shares of stock or fraction thereof; the min¬ imum initial fee being $2,000, and a continuing annual fee for a pe¬ of shares outstanding, the continuing fee is $50 per 100,000 shares for all shares in excess of 2,000,000.
