NEW YORK, April 25 (UP)
Anticipation of a sharp hike in
margin requirements possibly to
100 per cent brought an irregu
lai decline in the stock market
today.
The utility group managed,
however, to retain a minute gain
that sent its average to a new
high since July 31, 1937. A few
special issues gained 1 to 2
points. The main list lost frac
tions to more than a point.
Wall Street believed that a rise
in margins would have nothing
more than temporary psychologi
cal influence on prices because
most of the buying in the mar
get at the present time is for
cash. However the trading ele
ment ran up caution signals and
remained aloof from the list.
