LEGITIMATE DEALERS

9. Every legitimate brokerage concern has its representative or representatives on the board of trade in the city wherein it is located, and they are members in good standing of the board. When an order is given by a customer, either through the wicket or by wire, it is immediately transferred to the floor man and he proceeds to buy or sell as the instructions are given. In an active market the client must take the chances of slight fluctuations, which are just as likely to be in his favor as against him. The floor man reports the sales or purchases as soon as made, with the price paid and from whom purchased. The entries are immediately made to the customer's account.
