to avoid upsetting tke applecart
of securities prices. |
In prescribing last night a slid
ing scale of margins ranging be
tween 25 and 45 per cent, the fed
eral reserve board adhered strict
ly to the standard suggested by
congress in the securities exchange
act,
In the regulations for handling
margina] accounts, observérs also
notgd a tendency to avoid and
“crack down” attitude that might
disturb a market which is at a low
ebb. For instance officials declared
the authority to force brokers to
sell out undermargined customers
would not be used unless develop
ments made that necessary. '
But such accounts will be placed
in a restructed classification.
Transactions that wduld increase
the customer’s debt to the broker
will be barred, except where* they
would raise the margin to the re

The margin rules were said to be
only slightly more severe thar
those laid down by the New York
