FEDERAL RESERVE BANK
OF NEW YORK

Circular No. 1 4 6 5 T
. October 23, 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. 32 Interpreting Regulation T.
The Federal Reserve Board has been asked whether, if a confirmation of a
transaction has been sent by mail to a customer at his last known address, a
demand for margin which appeared not on a separate piece of paper but on
the confirmation itself may be considered as having been made in the manner
specified in clause 8 of section 3(f) of Regulation T so that the amount of
margin demanded may be deducted in computing the adjusted debit balance
of the customer's account. In reply the Board advises that such a demand
may be considered as a demand made in a " letter'' within the meaning of clause 8
and that accordingly the question should be answered in the affirmative.

Additional copies of this circular will be furnished upon request.




J. H. CASE,

Federal Reserve Agent.
