FEDERAL RESERVE BANK
OF NEW YORK

Circular No. 1 4 4 6 "I
October 12, 1934 J

INTERPRETATION OF REGULATION T

To National Securities Exchanges in the
Second Federal Reserve District:

For your information I quote below the text of a telegram which I
have received today from the Federal Reserve Board:
Ruling No. 18 Interpreting Regulation T.
In response to an inquiry the Federal Reserve Board has advised
that, if the adjusted debit balance of an account which has been designated as an "old account" pursuant to section 7(a) of Regulation T, is
reduced by reason of a sale of securities or otherwise, the creditor may
not thereafter permit the customer to make any transaction which
would result in an increase in the adjusted debit balance except a
withdrawal of money made in conformity with the third proviso of
section 7(a) of Regulation T. In this connection the Board called
attention to the fact that a transaction which would result in an
increase in the adjusted debit balance if standing alone is not prohibited
by section 7(a) if it is part of a "combination of transactions" which
results in no increase in the adjusted debit balance.
Additional copies of this circular will be furnished upon request.




J. H. CASE,

Federal Reserve Agent.
