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
from the Federal Reserve Board:
Ruling No. 4 5 Interpreting Regulation T.
The Federal Reserve Board, in reply to inquiries regarding the provisions of section 6 of Regulation T, as amended May 10, 1935, rules that a debit entry made by a
broker in accordance with common practice in a customer's "special cash account" as
of the day on which the broker, in accordance with the usual custom of the trade and
in the absence of "failures to receive", would ordinarily receive and pay for securities
which have been purchased for the customer in such account, shall be deemed, for the
purposes of the third paragraph of section 6, to constitute the required record of "the
date of payment by the creditor" for such securities in all cases except those in which
the broker, having in fact received and paid for the securities on a later day, shall have
recorded such later day in such account as the date of payment by the creditor.

Additional copies of this circular will be furnished upon request.




J. H. CASE,

Federal Reserve Agent.
