OF a development 10 be considered In

Stccls Bottom.

When will Steel common find a bottom?
This is the question most frequently asked
in the street to-day. When steel arrives
at price where the demand Is more or
less equivalent TO the supply the market
will feel better for st. II Is true that the
market In general yesterday showed a
disposition to disregard the decline in
steel and to develop trend OF its own.
Prices displayed more or less distinct
tendency to settle down Nevertheless the
influence Of the leading stock Is not a
thing lightly to he passed by. The public
holdings Of steel are enormous and until
signs are evident that liquidation in tho
stock on account Of the passing Of Tho
dividend has been accomplished the feeling
is likely TO be that the market elsewhere
will not move much.
The decline in steel IL, after ALL a
favorable development N the long run
from the point of view OF the bull element.
steel has long been looked upon as a
danger point On the basis OF current
caraa-. ana future prospects Stee! was
selling together 100 high. with the
absence OF steel common from the free
trading LIST the preferred stock has 70
some extent taken IT'S place The recovery
in this stock yesterday. therefore, was
taken as favorable SIGN rather than
othel wise as representing the attitude
Of the outsiders toward the outlook for
the corporations business.

Intcrcst ChRrGrs.

Customers OF brokerage houses who
have margin accounts may find a dis
agreeable surprise when they scrutinize
their February statements and reach the
interest item. II is not likely that the
interest charge will he as low as might
he supposed from the rates quoted for
money during the present month. Brokers
who have been figuring up what their
money cost them during the past month
ind that it has nu' been greatly reduced
by the extraordinary relaxation in the
past month. II Is likely that the ruling
charge will be something between 49,
and per cent.
1t must he remembered that only in
the past two months has there been any
real decline in money rates. The cost OF
money borrowed on time previous to this
fall must enter into the average cost OF
funds now. Besides, lenders have been
much more eXacting as regards collateral
in tho past few months, which must also
make a difference 10 the average cost OF
money. 1t will probably he some time
before the cost of money to tho broker
Will bear any relation to the current cost
Of money, supertiCially at least The
average cost has been far greater than
current interest rates indicate.
