seEauipmenfs" Scarce

Prime equipment trust certificates
are extremely scarce. Folk who bought
equipments few months ago on a
very attractive basis are not prone to
SELL bond men say, and new offerings
have been few and far between of
late. with the natural result that the
market is bare of offerings Consider
able financing in the form of equip
ment trusts is expected, once the Inter
state Commerce Commission changes
its arbitrary ruling with regard to the
rate which the roads can pay on such
borrowing. Equipments running for
fifteen years are most in demand. One
Of the interesting aspects of the market
in this type OF security is that small
investors have lately come to look upon
equipments as worth putting into their
strong boxes. AS illustrating this
tendency on the part of the small in
vestor a member of a firm specializ-
ing in equipments said yesterday that
his house made eighteen trades one day
recently for total of forty-six pieces.
Hammelting Steel
Steel common proved one Of the
most vulnerable of the speculative
favorites in the industrial share
group yesterday. Once the profess

the pressure possible, with the result
that Steel was driven off 2% points
net to 86ss. Yhe game was, of course,
to unsettle the rest of the list by
knocking Steel down, and it worked.
At the close yesterday Steel was with
in 2h points Of les low price for the
current year. Gossip of the steel trade
continued yesterday to supply ammunf-
ton for the bears. The Steel Corpora
tion is said to be producing more ton
mage than is coming in and in the
trade the opinion holds that the un-
filled tonnage statement as OF the end
of the current month will show de-
crease Of at least 100000 tons. Rail-
road buying mas NOT been nearly so
large as hoped for and the steel makers
now do not look for much in this
