Bank Loans on Securities
Are Increasing

the security loans of banks on
their own account have been re-
duced but little. and that very
slowly. ....:. ss.-' ".-
But, now. it seems that the
liquidation Of such loans may
make more progress. 1t will be
facilitated by the reasonable
prices that now prevail for many
stocks. You see. liquidation re-
quires not only selling, but buy
Ing. One reason why it has been
! difficult to hquidate stocks is
that prices have been too high
to attract investors. Now, that
bargain-hunters are coming into
the market. 1t is possible for the
banks to get their loans down by
having the over-borrowed specu-
lators Of last year sell out to
the cautions investors who will
make the money next year,
That is the way the game. al
ways wOrks-sooner or later.
But don't forget that there is
much Of this liquidation to be
carried through yet. The fact is
that total security loans are still
extraordinarily and unreasonably
high. =
Finally, we can be sure that
STOCK market liquidation will not
be completed until total security
loans are greatly reduced.

CsmmiAsl0n =
That some real liquidation has
been going on in the stock market
is well illustrated by its decline
In total bank loans on securities.
These loans include not o1oly
brokers' loans, but loans made d-
rectly by banks to individual bor-
rOwers on collateral.
These total security loans have
now declined for three weeks in
succession. The reduction amounts
to $340, ,00O, 600.
Too often in the recent past.
when brokers' loans have been
reduced, the total bank loans ON
securities have increased. This
shows that SPECTATORS have been
taking their stocks out of brokers
accounts and putting them up
for loans at banks. We know that
there was great deal Of this in
October last year and also during
the market break last June.
There was also some OF this
shifting of security loans from
brokers to direct loans from banks
in the early part Of the current
month.
OF course. as long as the Dor
rowing on securities is merely
shifted from one channel to an
other there is no real liquidation.
Ana it must be admitted Tl1at

The Oils

AS pointed out here recently,
current prices for the majority
of oil stocks are far below their
book value. Sinclair, for example.
after the sale of its pipe line to
STANDARD of Indiana had cash on
hand alone equal to $14.SO a
share on its outstanding com
mon, it was estimated. The
stock closed last night at 1917.
Book value of American Re.
publics is put at $155 D share.
And so on down the line. But
this has had apparently no effect
in attracting any buying in the
petroleum stocks due to the I'm.
satisfactory oil situation. glut Of
oil and gasoline, crumbIing price
structure and generally poor
earnings.
Proration. this year has 1elped
keep stocks Of oil and gasoline
down but they are still too high
Incidentally, a number Of smart
oil men who had the So-called

merger got burned" in the
stock.
Interests close to Fox are still
confident the company will net
81 a share on the common this
year. They insist the "a divi
dend will be continued. The
stock is now selling on better
than q 10 per cent basis. II
Loew's, as recent rumorS have it,
goes on higher dividend basis
this year. Fox will benefit, for
it owns over 100000 shares Of
LoeW's.

IN JOLLY ADMIRATION AS HE JEsrEp
BY ]. p. GLASS.

To dine with the Rev. Sydney Smith
was the greatest privilege an English
man could enjoy until his death in
1845. 1t was not that the food was
surprisingly good, but it was favored
with the best conversation of that day.
The Rev. Sydney was himself reck-
oned the greatest master of ridicule
since the celebrated Dean Swift.
Persons at his table sat in jolly ad-
mlration as he TESTED like this:
Poverty is no disgrace to a man,
but it is confoundedly announcement.
Il believe the English are the most
disagreeable people under the sun. I
have often seen French soubrette with
far better manners than an English
duchess.
There are no limits to Lord Macau-
iey's knowledge. He is like book in
breeches
1T requires surgical operation to
get a joke well into Scotch under
standing.
When I have the govt feel as
If was walking on my eyeballs.
Il think breakfasts are so pleasant
because no one is conceited before
o'clock. (Those were drinking
days)
MY idea of heaven is eating fois
gras to the sound of trumpets.
Yes, you find people ready enough
to do the Samaritan, without the oil
and twopence.
when Lady -- asked me about
my grandfather, told her he disap-
