New stock Exchange Rule


New York. April 1-(UP)-The
new rule of the New York stock
exchange requiring brokers to OBJ
tain specific permission to owners
before loaniffg stocks for short
selling purposes went into effect to-
day with shorts unable to borrow
many active stocks except at pro-
hibitive premiums.
Long after the close of the mar
ket last night shorts made strenu-
Gus efforts to get stock to replace
stock loans called by brokers
whose customers would not author
ize loans on margin.
A marked scarcity developed In
such leaders as United States Steel
and American Telephone, borrow
ers being forced to pay IL per
cent premium, or $50 overnight to
borrow 100 shares of stock. Even
this stiff premium failed to attract
sufficient stock. Further efforts
were planned to-day by the short
sellers.
Seldom in recent years have trad
ers been forced to pay such pre-
miums for the privilege of selling
stocks short. Approximately 80
issues are lending at a premium
ranging from 1885 to IL per cent.
1t Isl believed likely that "short
squeeze" would have developed in
the market yesterday had not the
proposed IA of one per cent stock
sales tax been approved in the
House. 81
This development encouraged
many traders to purchase stocks in

the open market rather than pay
stiff premiums for the privilege of
remaining short.
The loaning rule was made by
the stock exchange more than a
month ago. presumably in an at
tempt to head off congressional
threats of an investigation into
short selling. The rule merely
pointed out to stock traders that
they had the right to prevent lend
ing their stocks to shorts. Hereto
fore. most brokers willingly loaned
stocks carried on margin with
them to anyone who wanted to
borrow.

East and West were vulner-
vulnerable. At every table South
mond, but from then on practi-
cally every table bid the hand diff
ferently. Some players with the
West hand overcalled with two
clubs. Others doubled = while
some, thinking that South might
be putting in psychic diamond
bid, passed. In reply to the dou-
BILE, East would respond with two
spades which South would double.
West then bid three clubs which
North doubled. With West play
ing the hand at three clubs dou-
bled, a minus score of 1900 was
the usual result.
The most interesting bidding
occurred at the table where Miss
Margaret Beech and Mrs Hilda
Stahl of Pittsburg, Pa, former
women national champions, played.
South opened with one diamond,
Miss Beech sitting in the West and
using the artificial No Trump over
call to show at least two and one
half tricks and not necessarily the
diamond suit stopped. bid one No
Trump. North passed and Mrs
stahl, in the East, bid two spades.
South went to three diamonds
which was now doubled by Miss
Beech. North, sensing freak dis
tribution, responded with three
hearts, hoping to find his partner
with at least a few hearts. Mrs
Stahl, in the East, doubled three
hearts. You will notice that at
no time did North or West, each
holding six clubs, ever bid the club
suit. The heart contract was de-
feated two tricks giving the two
Pittsburg women a plus score Of
zoo on the board, while all but one
other pair, holding the same
hands as they, had minus score
Of from 1000 to 1900 points.
At one table North and South
endeavored to play the hand at
three No Trump while at another
table the East and West pair
tried to play 1t at five No Trump
both of course met with disas-
ter.
The best bidding, in the writ
ers opinion. would be South one
diamond. West doubled, North
pass, East one spade. South
should now double one spade to
show his partner a strong hand,
West would then bid two clubs
which would be promptly doubled
by North. East should not make
the mistake Of now showing the
weak five-card heat suit-re-
member that East has been forced
to answer partners double with
a spade bid and IL West selects
to continue the bidding, there is
no further responsibility on the
part of East. The final contract,
therefore, would be two clubs by
West, doubled.
