Washington. The Federal Reserve Board ordered more easing of margin trading rules effective Jan 3, 1938. Customers with restricted accounts may withdraw 40 percent of sale proceeds from their securities, after past limits barred such withdrawals. This marks a second relaxation since the Nov 1 market break, allowing buyers on credit to post 40 percent margin instead of 55 percent.
