Loan Crowd In Action.

An indication of the professional char
acter Of the selling yesterday was seen
In The extreme activity which prevailed
in the loan crowd at the close of the
session. One member OF the loan group
reported that borrowing OF stocks were
considerably heavier than they had been
for a long time. The stock for which
tho greatest demand was made was
United States Steel common, it was said
The call among the stock loan crowd for
steel was said to be tremendous. Some
surprise was expressed over this situa-
ton. for the group had expected a rather
market movement to return borrowed Sc
curtties as the result Of profit taking
on the short side after Yesterday 6 rather
extensive decline. Other stocks which
were said to be in extreme demand
among short sellers were Cuba Cane
Sugar. both common and preferred. Ma
rins shares, some Of the tobacco stocks
and all Of the steel industries. The
equipment shares also were reported to
have been borrowed heavily at the close
OF yesterdays session.

The Equipment Stocks.

Continued reports from Wa shington

because of any dsccrnible rejection Of

been n more or less marked feeling in
equipment circles in recent weeks that
the insstence which the roads were di-

The selling.

The best opinion of the selling OF
Steel common after the close of the
market yesterday was that 1t was OF
highly speculative character rather than
real liquidation. predicted, for the most
part, on the idea of getting the market
lower while sentiment was bearish. The
reduction of the Steel dividend afforded
an effectual argument for the selling,
but, as is always the case, 1t appeared

who took 1t as signal for dumping large
blocks of stock on the market over

business. smaller net earnings and a
further cut in the dividend The exact
figures with respect to the corporations

til the annual report is made public
this spring, but 1t was learned from
authoritative quarters that 1t will ex-
