Trans No. 1996
Referring Board's telegram April 28, 1934, to Newton, San Francisco, (X-7885) re authority of member banks to purchase corporate
stocks solely upon order and for account of customers, Federal Reserve Board has reconsidered question and is of opinion that there
is no prohibition in the Federal statutes against banks buying or
selling corporate stocks solely upon order and for account of
customers.

You will understand that Board's ruling is applicable

to State member banks only and you are authorized to advise them
accordingly.
