INTERESTING WEEK /
IN STOCKS IS SEEN
Gain in Brokers' Loans and
Rail Merger Talk Out
standing Developments.
BY CHARLES +. sPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April when Wall
Street resumes work Monday morning
IL will have a number of new develop
ments in the financial situation to
appraise.
First will be another increase in the
total of brokers' loans. The Stock
Exchange compilation for the month
of March, showing all records broken
for the magnitude of the amount OF
money used In speculation. was avail
able this week. The market ignored
the matter completely. Since business
closed Thursday, however. the weekly
Federal Reserve figures have confirmed
the exchanges summary. Not only
did the formal account stand at a
new high, but the increase was the
largest of any one week in the year
to date.
Secondly. there is the drop in the re-
banks. For the IL banks combined the
ratio was down more than 7l2 points
from the corresponding week a year
ago. For the New York bank the de-
crease is more than 10 points. Traders
continue to quote assurances OF various
bankers that no tight money is in sight,
but the statistics certainly indicate a
trend. and the one great underlying
force back of the long rise in stocks has
been an excessive supply.
What the Street will make OF the
apparent agreement among the Eastern
railroad executives over the number and
constitution OF the trunk line systems
remains to be seen. II would not be
surprising If the result should be an
other outburst of excited speculation in
railroad stocks. Nothing arouses the
trading spirit like merger" talk.
Perhaps the most interesting point
involved the disposition of the Della
ware a. Hudson, Mr.. Lorees own road
The justification for the l0-point Jump
In that stock while the railroad ex-
ecutives were in session does not lie
in its earnings.
Finally, the market has not yet had
a chance to reflect the passing Of the
dividend on the first preferred stock OF
the United States Rubber Co. with
all that the action implies as TO the
outlook for the rubber companies gen.
orally. It Is sure to be an interesting
week on the exchange.
