NYSE LiquidityQuote<SUP><SMALL>SM</SUP></SMALL> To Debut June 13 Dual Quoting To Begin In 28 NYSE-Listed Component Stocks Of Dow Jones Industrial Average

Date 09/06/2003

The New York Stock Exchange announced today that it would begin publishing NYSE LiquidityQuotes in the 28 NYSE-listed component stocks of the Dow Jones Industrial Average beginning June 13, 2003.

NYSE LiquidityQuote ("NYLQ") is a firm, two-sided, real-time quote that reflects market depth beyond the best bid or offer. NYLQSM will show at a single price the cumulative number of shares bid or offered on the limit-order book, in the trading-floor "crowd" and by the specialist as principal.

NYLQ was developed to allow investors and market professionals to find the market "size" and depth that has become more critical since the introduction of decimal increments and penny spreads.

NYLQ will be disseminated in addition to the currently available best bid and offer via market-data vendors. NYLQ can be accessed electronically or through a broker at the point of sale and is Institutional XPressSM eligible.
