Margin Rules

Margin regulations adopted by
the New York exchange last
August are not likely to be
changed to conform with the
more recent regulations of the
Federal Reserve Board. it is said
unofficially. The rules of the
exchange were designed to a
great extent to protect the small
speculation, it was recalled.
These rules require a minimum
margin of 80 per cent of the
debit balance in the case of &C.
counts with debit balances of
$4,000 or more and so per cent
of the debit balances in cases in
which they amount to less than
$4,000.
The Federal Reserve Board re-
quires that brokers shall extend
credit at the rate of not more
than Cd SIS per cent of the cur.
rent market value of the secur-
ity; or 90 100 per cent of the
lowest market value of the Sc.
curity during 36 calendar months
Immediately preceding the first
of the current month but not
more than IS per cent of the cur
rent market value.
The regulation of the ex-
change prohibiting m m bers
from transmitting orders to spe-
cialists other than limited price
or market orders does not apply
to stop loss orders inasmuch as
they include limited, or specified,
price.

COTTON GOODS

NEW YORK, Oct. (LN.s).-Defi-
mite signs of strength appeared in the
coarse yarn cloths market today as
buyers seeking quick deliveries of
some styles found mills asking pre-
miums over their contract prices. On
other styles, while goods could still
be had at prices prevailing on Thurs
day, such offerings were available n
only a few sources, and indications
were that advances would develop
shortly. Buyers who had moved fairly
good quantities of finished goods on
which they were still uncovered were
reported checking over offerings dur
ing the late trading and it was con-
sidered likely that they would begin
to cover within a day or two.
The Washington times., 1934-10-05

Business in the Fifth Federal
Reserve District in August and
early September was fully up to
seasonal level in comparison
with other recent months, and
current crop conditions an d
prices indicate larger incomes
this year in agricultural sections
of the district, according to the
report of the Federal Reserve
Board Of Richmond made avail
able yesterday.
RediScounts at the Federal
Reserve Bank of Richmond re-
NAMED practically at the same
low figure between August IS
and September Is, member banks
being able to care for seasonal
demands for credit BY merchants
for discounting fall bills without
assistance from the Reserve bank.

HUDSON RE TAIL
SALES IMPROVE

Stocks of cars in the hands of
dealers of the Hudson Motor Car
Company, including both Hud.
sons and Terraplanes as of Sep
TENDER /, 1884 were reduced by
AZ per cent from the peak stocks
held in May, the company reports.
Stocks on hand as of September !,
1884, averaged about five cars per
dealer, or practically normal for
this season of the year.
This substantial reduction in
dealers inventories is due to the
fact that retail sales during the
period May / to September /,
1884, were far in excess of sales
reported in the corresponding
period last year, and in part to
the fac. that HLdson's percentage
of increase was the second largest
reported by any producer in the
industry.
Sales of Hudsons and Terra
planes in the United States only,
for the period May to Septem.
Der /, aggregated 25,965 cars, an
increase of % per cent as COM
pared with sales of 20,277 cars in
the corresponding period in 1888.
This gain compares with an in
crease of approximately "a per
cent for the industry as whole
during the same period. The
above figures exclude Hudson's

DISTRICT LABOR USE
ON HOSPITAL SOUGHT
Organized Workers Here Demand
Contract Be Given to Local
Contractors.

Organized labor will insist that the
new District tuberculosis hospital job
be awarded local contractors so as to
provide work for District labor, ac-
cording to John Locher, secretary Of
the Washington Building Trades
Council.
This viii be q purely District Of
Columbia proposition" he said. "de-
spite the fact the building is to be
built o few miles over the line in
Maryland. The money is to be
loaned, and must be repaid, by taxes
from this city, and local taxes will
support the institution, once 1t is fin-
ished.
Labor feels that the District Com
missioners should award this job to
Washington contractor, who should
use labor from this city under the
prevailing wages here. This would be
o relief job, and If all Washington
men are used to construct the insti-
tuition it would greatly reduce the
relief rolls here and relieve the bur-
den on charitable institutions"
In addition to being secretary Of
the washington Building Trades
Council, Locher is vice president of
the Central Labor Union.
