Donald Weeden, who as chairman of securities firm Weeden & Co. clashed with New York Stock Exchange officials in the 1970s over what he and others saw as anticompetitive rules and practices, has died. He was 95.

He died on July 24 at his home in Danbury, Connecticut, said his wife, Patricia C. Weeden. The cause was prostate cancer.
