NEW YORK, June 8.-Thursday
during a period of liquidation the
market took sudden turn for the
better, influenced by a seemingly
well founded rumor of merger be-
tween the Packard automobile COM
pany and others in the same in
dustry. However this morning.
press carries an Official denial of
this rumor by no less a parsonage
than the president of the company
mentioned. Added to this disap-
pointment Is the large increase IN
brokers loans which has pushed
these figures to the highest total
of all times. This leaves us where
we were Thursday when the market
was declining because of the poor
technical position. Therefore, If the
market Thursday required llqulda-
ton the properly adjust unsatis-
factory fundamental conditions, it
is no better today. Hence we con-
tinue the policy of recommending
liquidation.

By United Press
NEW YORK, June 8.-Worried by
the increase of nearly $94,OOO0OO in
brokerage loans, bringing the figure
to a new high record, the stock
market community sold heavily on
the opening today, the majority of
stocks declining from a point to 2
points.
Early dealings however, Asaw a
steadier tone and only a few shares
broke below their initial lows. A few
special issues forced ahead. Among
these was Loew's Inc, which gained
IL points to 76
The heaviest losses were sustained
by the rubber issues. United States
Rubber and Goodrich both dropped
to new low ground for the year, the
former losing nearly points to
1914 and Goodrich IA to- 48.
Radio lost Us to 1911 and then
came back to 1872; United States
Steel gained point to 144A from
its early low and held around that
figure. Packard, Chrysler and Hupp
declined sharply at the start and re-
covered partially. General Motors
ruled more than a point lower
around 1902 after touching 1891.
Describing the market, the Wall
Street Journals financial review
said today:
"A flood of selling greeted the
opening, rejecting pessimism created
by the Increase of $93,776,000 in
brokerage loans in the week ended
June 6. This gain was substantially
larger than had been expected in
view of the irregularity of the main
body of stocks during that time.

Lord Cranworth has opened a

CONNECTICUT TAKES LEAD IN "DRAFTING COOLIDGE"

1t is now evident that Connecticut has become one of the chief draft Coolidge" states in the Republican Armament. Until recently the Re- publican dignitaries in New York, headed by MT Hills, were the chief presidential draft opponents. Since then these have taken in their sails and are inclined to favor Mr. Hoover. Connecticut, headed by J. Henry Eoraback, will stick to Coolidge. the orders coming direct from J. Henry himself. The "uninstructed" dele gates 10 the Kansas City convention will try 10 form tr nucleus for his drafting. Thus they will represent the strong Hoover and Coolidge sentiment in inc state combined.
 The battle is an interesting ono.

If Mir. smith IS nominated there is q general be lief that the strongest possible can. didate will be needed to buck him. There is some doubt among leaders whether Mir. Hoover is as strong as MT. Coolidge in the northwestern farm states and in the eastern n.anu- facturlng states.

GIRLS AS AUTO MECHANICS

One cannot help pausing to reflect what the world is coming to when girls are ready and anxious to be- come automobile mechanics. The Y. w. c. A, having tried out the scheme and found young danes fav- orably disposed toward it. will spon- sor courses in this necessary though hand-soiling occupation. and from all appearances a crew of good lockers are going to tackle the job of learning how to get out and crawl under, just like men.
 Much of the work necessary in repairing automobiles does not en- tail heavy lifting: much of it con- sists in knowing how to screw bolts into place and tinkering with the engine and the other fancy geegaws that go to make up the complicated mechanisms that travel about on tires We have no doubt that skillfu! feminine hands can fuss with such tasks satisfactorily.
 But there are considerable soiled clothes connected with some depart ments of automobile repairing; fix ing rubber tires is no white collar employment, and the overalls of the mon who do that work are not dis tinguished by nurse-like freedom from germs. Girl mechanics will not be discouraged. however; they would not have signified their inten- ton of learning this trade if they could see anything beside success in it.
 We wish them luck. Automobiles sometimes are such cantankcrous creatures that an army of repairers seems to be needed.
