     OPINION OF THE COMMISSION

          REGISTERED SECURITIES EXCHANGE -- PROHIBITION OR LIMITATION OF
ACCESS
          TO SERVICES

          A stock exchange restricted electronic access of its members to
          trading crowds without a valid rule permitting it to do so.
          Held, that the restrictions are set aside and the exchange is
          ordered to permit its members to have electronic access to
          trading crowds unless such a rule is adopted.
