1955. 1956 1957. 1958. 1959. 1960. 1961 1962 1963 June 30, The June 30 values were as reported by the New York Stock Exchange and as estimated for all other exchanges. Volumes included shares, warrants and rights. Comprehensive statistics of volumes on exchanges are included among the appendix tables in this Annual Report. Aggregate market values over the years are not strictly comparable, since they do not indicate to what extent changes are due to new listings, mergers into listed companies, removals from listing, and the like. Value Foreign Stock on Exchanges The market value on December 31, 1962, of all shares and certificates representing foreign stocks on the stock exchanges was reported at about $12.7 billion, of which $10.7 billion represented Canadian and $2.0 billion represented other foreign stocks. The market values of the entire Canadian stock issues were included in these aggregates. Most of the other foreign stocks were represented by American Depositary Receipts or American shares, only the outstanding amounts of which were used in determining market values.

Trading in foreign stocks has fallen from 42.4 percent of the reported share volume on this Exchange in 1956, to 18.1 percent in 1962. Trading in foreign stocks on the New York Stock Exchange represented about 3.4 percent of the reported share volume thereon in 1956, and about 3 percent in 1962. Reported volumes in foreign shares during 1962 consisted of about 43.5 million Canadian shares and 12.5 million other foreign shares on the American Stock Exchange and about 10 million Canadian shares and 19 million other foreign shares on the New York Stock Exchange. While the share volume on the American exceeded that on the New York Stock Exchange, it would appear that in view of higher average share prices, the latter Exchange had a greater dollar volume in foreign shares. Comparative Exchange Statistics The number of stocks on the New York and American Stock Exchanges has continued to increase, while the aggregate number of stocks exclusively on the other exchanges has continued to decline, in recent years. Aggregate share values on the New York Stock Exchange have represented an increasing proportion of total share values on all the exchanges, at least since 1948, when our series on total share values on the exchanges was established. on all exchanges has declined over the years. The regional exchange percentage of dollar volume has remained fairly constant. In the following presentation, shares, warrants and rights are included. Annual data since 1935 are shown in appendix table 10. Annual sales of stock on exchanges Reporting pursuant to Section 15(d): Miscellaneous. Insurance..

These stocks had an aggregate market value of about $90.1 billion, including $23.4 billion for bank stocks, $21.0 billion for insurance stocks, and $45.7 billion for industrial, utility, and other miscellaneous stocks. Registered investment companies are not included in this compilation. Ownership of over-the-counter stocks tends to be more concentrated in officers, directors, and other controlling persons than in the case of listed securities, and in some instances the concentration is heavy. Over-the-counter stocks referred to in the text, as of Dec. 31, 1962 1,900 147 2.177 7.68 10.81 1.224 212 845 6.85 6.98 9.35 10.71 2,281 4,458 6.81 Issuers 1,698 115 1,938 1,147 208 843 7.15 44 2,198 4,136 Market values $23,849, 286.000 5,820,400,000 4,817,370,00C 34,487,056, 000 17.040.987,000 15, 195, 900, 000 23.3.59,300,000 55,596, 187,000 90,083,243,000 These companies have other issues listed on stock exchanges. In addition to the stocks mentioned above, there is a large number of actively quoted stocks of companies so small as not to require continuous reporting to the Commission, and whose coverage by the standard securities manuals is generally limited to brief announcements of the circumstances of the offerings. Their number was in excess of 1,000 on December 31, 1962, at which time they constituted about 25 percent of the actively quoted stocks in the National Quotation Bureau services. These stocks may be presumed to have over 300 holders each. There is a further indeterminate number of stocks with over 300 holders, inactively quoted or not publicly quoted. So far as can be ascertained, these are for the most part stocks of small companies. A comprehensive view of the number of securities quoted over the counter at any one time is afforded by data supplied by the National Quotation Bureau, which is the principal purveyor of over-thecounter quotations in the United States. The following table shows the number of stocks quoted in the daily service and the corresponding aggregate number of dealer listings, as reported for a day around January 15th annually. • The number annually since 1925 is shown on p. 72 of our 26th Annual Report (1960). About half of the stocks show substantial concentration of dealer listings, including both bids and offers. Many of the remainder are quoted only on the bid side, indicating sporadic dealings. Some are listed on domestic or Canadian stock exchanges. Reporting Under Section 15(d) Issuers reporting pursuant to Section 15 (d) of the Exchange Act continue to increase in number notwithstanding numerous reductions occasioned by listings on the exchanges or absorption into other companies by purchase of assets or mergers. The number of such issuers increased from 2,435 on December 31, 1961, to 2,647 on December 31, 1962. The 2,647 reporting issuers included 1,887 having $34.7 billion aggregate market value of stocks. The remaining 760 issuers included partnerships, voting trusts duplicative of listed shares, stock purchase and employees savings plans, companies with only bonds in public. hands, registered investment companies, and numerous issuers for whose shares no quotation was available, including a considerable number registering in 1962 but not offering their shares until 1963. Issuers reporting under Section 15(d) as of December 31, 1962 • Includes only issuers with stocks for which quotations were available. These issuers had stocks with only unlisted trading privileges on exchanges. They also had 20 stocks aggregating $827,300,000 which were only over the counter, which amount has been included in the overthe-counter showing of market values above. Foreign Stocks Traded Over the Counter About 150 foreign stocks, or American shares representing foreign stocks, were so actively quoted in the American over-the-counter markets at the close of 1962, as to suggest the likelihood of active daily trading therein in the United States. In addition, there are many foreign stocks which are less actively quoted in the domestic over-thecounter markets. DELISTING OF SECURITIES FROM EXCHANGES Pursuant to Rule 12d2-2 (Rule 12d2-1(b) until amended February 15, 1963) under Section 12 (d) of the Securities Exchange Act, an exchange may apply to the Commission to strike securities or an issuer may apply to withdraw its securities from exchange listing and registration. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1963, the Commission granted applications to remove 68 stocks, representing 63 issuers, from listing and registration. Since 2 stocks were each delisted by two exchanges, there was a total of 70 removals. The removals were as follows: Applications filed by: New York Stock Exchange. Cincinnati Stock Exchange. Midwest Stock Exchange--- Pacific Coast Stock Exchange. Philadelphia-Baltimore-Washington Stock Exchange.. Pittsburgh Stock Exchange. San Francisco Mining Exchange..... Total... |
