Bears Resume Drive on

BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, June 27.-The latest
glinmer of speculative optimism in Wall
Street was very nearly extinguished by
still another bear drive in today'S
stock market. Prices sagged substan-
TALLY, but trading was dull The mar
ket had been permitted to close higher
on two successive days for the first
time this month, which, in the opinion
OF professional traders, was about the
best that could be expected with Specu-
lative enthusiasm so close to the van
ishing point
The huge decrease of 1911 900. 900 in
brokers' loans failed to stimulate any
considerable short covering. With brok-
erage loans at their present low levels,
wall Street has been more interested
IN oank loans on securities and these
loans have tended to increase. Security
loans of New York member banks
showed decrease of about $50. 600. 900
While their loans to brokers were cut
1000 900, possibly indicating further
SHIFT OF loans from brokerage accounts
directly to the banks.
Since the American Tobacco extra
and split-up announcement, stimulat-
ing business news has been scarce,
Further railway net operating income
reports for May were about the only
items OF interest to stock market cir
cles, and reports by such roads as New
York Central and Southern Pacific
showing declines of about 40 per cent
from the like period of last year were
not encouraging.
