MARGIN RULES
TIGHTENED
FEB. |
International News service

Utilizing for the first time
powers granted under the securi-
ties and exchange act, the Federal
Reserve Board today had taken
cognizance of the rising market to
boost the margin requirements OF
stock purchases.
The present requirements spread
from Is to As per cent of the mar.
ket price. The board left the mini.
mum requirement at rs per cent,
but raised the maximum from 45
to SIS per cent. The new margin
rules will become effective on
February l, and are designed to
tighten credit regulations con-
trolling trading of securities on the
stock exchanges.
No Explanation Given
The board issued the ruling with.
out explanation. Under the Securi.
ties and exchange act of 1884 it is
able to set the margin require
mentS within certain broad limits
The lower margin rates, as a gen.
eral rule, apply to the more specu,
lative stocks.
It was understood, however, the
action was taken as precaution'
airy step in view of the market 5
bullish tendencies following infla-
ton and other rumors.
Just a few hours before the
boards ruling was made public,
President Roosevelt. at his press
conference, inferentially denied
that the Administration was going
to devalue silver. The President
was asked about silver in view Of
reports current in financial cen
tiers that the Administration was
going to do something" for the
metal.
Was Held Unnecessary
In November, Mariner Eccles,
governor of the board, issued a
formal statement on market con-
ditions in which he declared that
the market was sound and use
of the boards strong margin
requirements was unnecessary.
Since Eccles' statement was
made, loans by banks to stock
brokers have increased rapidly.
The figure is estimated at 200
million dollars.
The boards action was con-
sidered somewhat of a surprise in
view of the fact the Federal
Reserve Board will be revised on
February /. Under the banking
act passed by the last session, the
board will consist of 7 instead of
6 members. President Roosevelt
has promised the new board ap-
pointments early next week.

Cotton Goods

NEW YORK. Jan. 25 (GN.s)-The
cotton goods markets finished the week
with the tax situation in virtually q
chaotic a state as at any time s:pEe
the com plications first developed. AZ
ton of a number of mills late FH
day in dema ndinE coverage against airy
retroa ctive tax movement initiated by
the Government in furthering its plans
for replacement of the AAA, resulted
IN a practical cessation of such light
trading as was being dome. The clause
which stated that prices on any I'M
delivered portion of contract were
subject to increase or decrease by the
amount that any new Federal legisla-
ton affcts sellers costs, was deleted
by these mills, to omit the
phrase ''undelivered portion" In eff
feet this makes the buyer liable for
any tax which may be imposed
whether or not the goods for which he
has contracted have been delivered.
