Many an old home owes much of its
beauty to fruit tree or two that graces

landscape architect, Frank A. Waugh,

This serious disease is difficult to con-

knife or shears in a strong disinfectant

The curb exchange had the largest
turnover since April. 1891.
Rumors of the impending an
nouncement by the stock exchange
board of governors resulted in
franctic buying with "a, rally in
prices on the New York Exchange
an hour before the close.
Just what the restrictions were,
was not known at the time of the
heaviest buying. As a matter of
fact, announcement of the restric-
lions revealed them as not nearly
SO severe as indicated by the
rumors on which the rally was
based.
One financial writer said of them
that "the exchange labored and
brought forth a mouse" Some
brokers, however. predicted the
new rule would cut short sales by
SO per cent.
The new rule provides in brief:
Members of the exchange shall
not on and after April 1 lend either
10 themselves Or 10 OIner SecuTltieb
held on margin for customers I'M
less that shall have obtained sepa-
rate authorization in writing per-
hitting the lending of such securi-
ties.
Brokers also are required to
notify customers at intervals that
such authorization may be revoked
on their order.
1t should be pointed out that all
margin customers heretofore have
been obliged to agree to such lend
ing before they could purchase on
margin. This was done through
signing a blanket consent agree
ment." They also had the right to
revoke such consent.
The effect of the new rule. there
fore, is not to prohibit short selling,
but to make short selling little
bit more difficult. Here is how it
works:

it later for less money and deliver
