May 26 j, 1936.

Mr. Oliver P. Wheeler,
Assistant Federal Reserve Agent,
Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco,
San Francisco, California.
Dear Mr. Wheeler:
This refers to your letter of May 12, 1936, inclosing a
copy of a letter from Messrs.

,

, and

, sub-

mitting the following case under Regulation T:
The account of a customer with a broker is restricted. The customer sells 100 shares of stock
realizing the sum of #1000 after taxes and commissions. On the same day he asks the broker to pay
him from the account the sum of $450. Would this
combination of transactions effected on the same day
result in a net withdrawal from the account under
section 4(d) of the Regulation?
The net effect of such a combination of transactions
made on the same day would be a "net withdrawal" as defined in
section 2(l) of Regulation T, since there would occur a payment
from the account of money ($450) and delivery of registered securities having an aggregate current market value ($1000), together exceeding the amount of money ($1000) paid into the
account on the same day.




Very truly yours,
(Signed)

Chester Morrill

Secretary.
