MARGIN RULINGS
NEAR COMPLETION
Financial Quarters Say
Stock Regulations Will
Be Moderate.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Tentative drafts Of stock market
margin rules rested today in the hands
of governors Of the II Reserve banks,
with release of the new regulations
awaiting only the settlement Of few
disputed points.
Members of the Federal Reserve
Board. announcing that final settle
mentS probably would be reached dur
ing the day, declined to comment on
the size of the margins to be required.
In financial quarters. however. conf
dence was expressed that they would
not be unnecessarily severe. Evidence
Of this belief was reflected in yester-
days strong closing Of the stock mar
ket.
The regulations, board members said,
will be released simultaneously in all
Reserve centers after final changes
have been made by telephone from
Washington.
To Prevent Excesses.
The Securities Exchange act passed
at the last session of Congress in an
attempt to prevent future speculative
excesses sets up a minimum stand
ard" margin requirement varying in
effect from 25 to As per cent OF the
price of a security.
Margins are to be based" on this
yardstick, But the board has diScre-
tionary powers and may fix them
either higher or lower. 1t also has
wide latitude in various special cir
cumstances such as the carrying Of
under-margin accounts for limited
periods.
Although seeking rules to restrict
operations of the highly speculative
type, Government financial officials
are said to have turned against too
stringent margin, believing an un-
necessarily severe attitude might so
disturb the markets that recovery
would be hampered.
Standard Provisions.
The standard" provides for the
initial extension Of credit to the extent
of 55 per cent of current market price,
or 100 per cent of the lowest price
for the past three years, not in excess
of rs per cent of the current market.
Until July /, 1886, however, the lowest
price since July /, 1888 shall be taken
as the measure If the latter method
is chosen.
If the yardstick set up in the law
is followed exactly. stock in any
case could be bought on As per cent
margin, and in some cases it might
be as low as Is per cent.
Brokerage houses have long been
getting their accounts in shape for the
advent of the new rules, which 60 into
effect October l, and many Of the
more important ones now have mar
gin requirements substantially as high
as the suggested standard.
