rather than an avocaton-are now
making the market. but their antics on
the focr yield no commissions to the
brokers.
Instead of the unendng succession
OF million (plus) share days of yester-
year. the market is now in period of
diminished volume OF trading. On sew

many brokers welcome liquidation
which has taken place in the market,
for the eXcesses of last year caused
many greatly to extend themselves. Each
customer in the days OF unrostrained
speculation was riskiny the margin on
the stock he carried, bat the broker
was carrying all but the margin for all
his customers. As a result, brokers
were huge borrowers at the banks. At
the peak last year loans were estimated
lat between $l.650,00 600 and $1,750,-

in later months has cut the amount of
the outstanding loans almost in half
and brokers feel that they are now on
sounder, more comfortable basis.
1t is well 10 remember, though, that
despite months Of persistent liquida-

consumption and disappeared. There
are just as many shares of stock in eX-
lstence-m0re, counting the new issues
as year ago. For every sale during
the most devastating waves OF liqui da-
