LOAN LIMIT LAW
SLOWS MARKET
System Responsible for
Keeping Many Houses
Out Of Buying.
BY BROADAN WALL.

New York, Jan. 21.-Stocks were
heavy again in Wall street today,
for although some houses were able
to buy stocks others had reached
the loan limit and were powerless
Under the system inaugurated by
the money committee rich men were
able to borrow money and got the
bargains that were offered In Tn.
market Annual reports that are
appearing for 1918 are under-stat-
ing their net earnings to a remark
able degree and everything is being
done to assist the money committee
In bringing. about widespread de-
preston in the stock market and in
general business.
Incidentally it may be stated that
buying of stocks today was OF the
best character and that the buying
of steel IN particular was good. AL
though the market closed lower in
nearly every issue. there was at no
time any sign OF Generalization.
The idea that Charles NJ. Schwab' 5
opinion on the steel business should
hurt the market is far-fetched.
The stock market did not break
because of Schwab. but because of
the loan limit outrage.
American Hide and Leather pre-
ferred stock held relatively firm in
spite of the report for the December
quarter showing only s2.56 a share
earned for it. compared with $40 a
share in the same quarter of 1871.
The stock is rising on the theory
that the back dividends of SIG a share
will be funded in the new common
stock
