BY ELMER C. WALLER
United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, March 8.-The in
crease of $14O,OOO,OOO in brokerage
loans reported after the close of the
market last night was not fayorably
received by Wall Street and renewed
pressure was in evidence against
speculative leaders in early stock
market trading today.
Sharp recessions from Thursdays
closing levels we're established by
pivotal issues like New York Cen
trail, Hudson, American Can, Good
year and General Electric. The
latter issue dropped Az points, to
231, but recessionS elsewhere were
generally held to small figures.
The increase in brokerage loans
emphasized the credit uncertainties
and more than offset the good news
of the retention of the 5 per cent
local rediscount rate. Commission
houses continued to send out bear
ish advices and the entire market
was extremely heavy during early
trading.
Radio, which was the leader of
Thursdays forward movement,
broke sharply, losing 81 points to
$685., while the new stock lost IL
points to 81H. JohnS-Manville was
also weak, losing 334 points to 1876.
Steel. General Motors and other
high grade issues, however, we're
afforded strong support around the
opening levels.
Other recent leaders like New
Haven. Erie and Kennecott were also
supported at small recessions, and a
slightly better tone developed in the
market after the early outburst of
selling. Anaconda was again under
pressure, opening 21a points lower
at 1856, on a sale of 5000 shares.
Chrysler was heavy, losing 215
points to 105% on sale of 5000
shares.
Sinclair was firm after sustaining
a fractional loss. Selling was &C
complished by reports that Colonel
Stewart would be elected head of
the concern. Shortly after the
opening, further strong buying came
into Radio. The issue rallied four
points from it's initial low. Proper
tionate recoveries from their early
lows were also made by other lead
ers, among them Steel common,
Erie and United States Rubber.
However, advances in these is
sues we're stubbornly resisted by
bearish professionals and improve
ment in prices brought out many
large offerings of stocks.

MAUREEN 0RCUTT UNABLE
 TO OVERCOME HER LINK
Unsuccessful Once Again in Her At tempt to Win the Griswold
 Golf Trophy.

Groton, Conn, July 13.-lP-The 'inx' that has pursued Maureen Orcutt Metropolitan champion, in her numerous attempts to win the Griswold cup, emblem of victory ln the Shenecossett clubs annual ln- vitation golf tournament has oper- ated again to the advantage of Edith Quier of Reading, Pa.
 Miss Quier gained leg on the in one of the most surprising upsets trophy yesterday by defeating Miss Orcutt in the final round, and ?, of the season.
 Miss Orcutt has been medalist of the Shenecossett club tournament three times but never has been able to win it.
 A heavy favorite as result of her c,emi-fin round victory over Helen Hicks by and g. Miss Orcutt shot herself out of the title on the first nine when she required 47 strokes and rounded the turn five down to the Reading star. The Metropolitan title holder rallied in fine fashion on the home coming journey but she could not overcome the heavy lead she had permitted her opponent to roll up on the first nine. Three up at the end of IS holes, Miss Quier got down in par four but Miss Orcutt, in trouble with her second, failed to negotiate long putt which would have given her a half. That failure cost Miss Orcutt hole, match and cup.

HERMAN RETAINS
 LEAD IN BATTING
Brooklyn Slug8er Has a Mark Of
 ,S9S for 70 Games

New York, July 13 CP) - Babe Herman is making the running this week in the race for the National league batting championship, but with the stretch only a few weeks of, other and more easily recog- nizable faces are peering at the lead CT from not far in the rear. The Brooklyn slugger has a mark of ,393 for 70 games, with Frank O'Doul of Philadelphia in second place on mark of .379.
 The averages were issued today. including games of last Wednesday. Other leading regulars are: Terry, New York. .369; Comorosky, Pitts burgh, .364; Klein. Philadelphia. .360; Traynor. Pittsburgh and Hornsby, Chicago, 1858 and Frisch and Hafey,- St. Louis, 1855.
 Unable to find place among the topmost batters, young Melvin Ott of New York nevertheless leads in three highly valuable endeavors- in runs scored with 80; in runs bat ted in with SS and in home runs with 24. The youthful Giant has been unable, however, to lift his mark above .327. While advancing. through the melancholy at the flag end of a pen- nant-Wrecking Cardinal slump, to a personal triumph in home run hit ting, Jim Bottomley of St. Louis tied record of no less person than Babe Ruth. In five successive games against the Phillies from July 5 through July g, the Cardinal first paseman punched seven home runs over the handy right field wall at Baker Bowl. The Babe hit seven in flVe games at the Polo Grounds in 1921. Had he been playing at Baker BOWL, he might have hit 17.
 'Bottomley's spree sent him into a tie with his team mate, Chick Hafev and Chuck Klein of Philadelphia for second place in the National league nome run derby. Each has 22, FHafey also leads in doubles with 2s.
 Bill Terry shows the way in total hits with 121. while Lloyd Waner of l triples. Kiki Cuyler of Chicago leads in steals with 26.
