BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, June 6.-Partners in
brokerage houses which are men,
bers of the New York Stock Ex-
change will be prohibited after June
80 from carrying personal margin
accounts with their own or other
member firms.
The exchanges department of
member firms. it was disclosed to-
day, is about to draft an announce
ment of this prohibition, agreed
upon by the exchange and the Sc
curities and Exchange Commission.
The margin account restriction
was intended originally, as one of
the steps in the exchanges 15-point
reorganization plan of last October,
merely to apply to partner carry
ing his account with his own firm,
but was widened to the present
form at the request of the S. E. C.
An exchange official said the re-
striction would make little differ
ence, asserting that practically all
brokers who traded on margin for
themselves are able to operate on
cash basis anyway. Those who wish
to operate on credit must, in the
future, borrow directly at their
banks.

The forenoon rally was attributed
partly to the appreciable drying up

a temporary comeback. Bids we're
