M-10: MARKET VALUE AND VOLUME OF EQUITY SALES ON U. S. SECURITIES EXCHANGES (Data in Thousands) (1) Includes all exchange trades in puts and calls. Value and volume of call trading and exercises are shown in Table M-90. (2) Excludes exempted stock exchanges. (SEE EXPLANATORY NOTES) EXPLANATORY NOTES Market Value and Volume of Sales on Registered and Exempted Securities Exchanges The data presented in this table are of two types depending upon the method of aggregation used by each exchange. Reports of those exchanges marked with an asterisk cover transactions cleared during the calendar month; clearances occur for the most part within five days of the execution of a trade. Reports for other exchanges cover transactions effected on trade dates falling within the report month. The variance introduced by these two different methods of aggregating the data is not considered to be significant and accordingly all registered exchanges are aggregated and reported in monthly summaries. Stock data include voting trust certificates, certificates of deposit for stocks, and American Depository Receipts for stocks. Warrants data includes trading in rights for all periods prior to January, 1972. |
