CLICK OF TICKER FOR BROKERS DIES WITH INDOE YEAR Now that the first of the New Year Is approaching, preparations are being made by many of the wire bouses, bucket shops. In Atlanta to close up shop, in accordance with the new Boy kin law, prohibiting the selling of fu tures after January J, 1907. While most of those In chaVge of tho Atlanta houses admit that they will take down their signs and silence the telegraph tickers before that date, there arc a % few who look wise when ques tioned, and say they are not prepared to make any answer at present as to their future Intentions. Rome have been advised that the law Is no good and will not stand a test in tfce courts, and though some bucket shop backers are inclined to keep open shop and fight the law In the courts, no announcement of any such intention has yet been made. Hardly a manager of one of these houses can be found who will admit his house is a bucket shop. But It Is an easy task to find out whether or not tiD Is a bucket shop by- ascertaining what outfit be represents. If his principals are members of legitimate exchanges In New York, Philadelphia or Chicago It may sufely be deduced that bis house Is on the legitimate order. For those who need stock, cotton and grain quotations In their business the exchange to be established by the Chamber of Commerce will supply this Information, but there will be no spec ulative transactions. But law or no law, there will probably be pi kefs who will place their money with hand-book makers, if they can get a tip us to the working of the exchanges in the North and West. Remember that we give you The Georgian free for one month with purchases of $5.00 or more. Smith & Higgins.
