BANKING
Watch Out, Wall Street
</hdr>
<body>
<p> As bank profits slumped in recent years, industry leaders
have searched for ways to expand into new lines of business.
Last week the Federal Reserve Board granted J.P. Morgan & Co.,
the parent of the giant bank Morgan Guaranty Trust, the right
to underwrite stocks through a separate subsidiary. The
decision marked the widest breach yet in the 1933
Glass-Steagall Act, which has barred banking firms from buying
and selling stock. On Wall Street securities firms charged that
bankers might funnel federally insured deposits into risky stock
deals. But regulations bar bank holding companies from
shifting funds from a bank to a securities subsidiary.
