Defines the Cole Law Brokers Not Commission Merchants
New York Jan 23 Attorney General Carmody states brokers are not commission merchants under the Cole act. A broker is a go-between who arranges contracts between shipper and receiver, while a commission merchant buys for a principal and hides the buyer’s identity, earning a commission. Even if a commission merchant belongs to an exchange, his duties remain governed by the Cole act and require no license.
