per cent to 70 per cent.
Margin is that proportion of
cash or equivalent value an in
vester or speculator must put up
to carry a given amount of Sc
curities. For example, If he buys
$1,000 worth of a certain stock
and the margin is so per cent
he puts UP 5000. He borrows,
usually from his broker, $40O.
With the margin at 10 per
cent he must put up $700 and
may borrow only $500.
The Reserve Boards regula-
tion did not apply to transac-
