The publication of LiquidityQuotes in the six ETFs is in addition to the LiquidityQuotes already published since June 2003 for the 28 Dow Jones Industrial Average stocks listed on the NYSE. The pilot for these 34 selected issues will continue until further rollout dates for other securities are determined.

NYLQ is a firm, two-sided, real-time quote that reflects interest in size greater than that typically available at the best bid and offer. NYSE LiquidityQuote disseminates executable, sizable quotes outside of the inside quote.
