$35, 900, 900 Drop in Brokers'
Loans Reflects Wedding
In Weak Margin Accounts
BY w. S. COUSINS

NEW YORK, June 5 GNS0.
Higher prices were quoted on the
market today for the railroad and
Industrial favorites, after the gen.
eral list had been carried slightly
lower by the overnight profit
taking and professional selling. A
8S5, 200, 900 drop in brokers' loans
REFLECTED the further wedding out
of the weak margin trading ac-
counts, while investment buying
was reported on an improved
scale in important quarters.
ss Scattered Rallies
liAInerican Telephone, Atchison
fail, and other well-known stocks
started the day a point or two
lower, as the result of the profit
taking selling rush of the profeS-
Sionals. Scattered rallies in the
utilities and specialties gave the
market an irregular tone, but
trading was light in volume, only
100000 shares passing through in
the first half-hour, against 700,-
900 in the same period on
Wednesday.
Business and trade reports were
satisfactory and the commodity
market fairly steady, with cotton
off few points and grain frac-
Nonally lower.
United States Steel was again
q strong bullish leader and sold
% for the first time since
Wednesdays drop to 83B. This
was a recovery of 10 points in
three days. The rails did not
perform as spectacularly as in
the last two days, but it was
noticeable that the bears gave the
rail shares much wider latitude
than in last weeks raiding ses-
aions.
AmuSementS Strong
The amusement stocks were
'active and strong, with Loews up
about 2 points; Paramount up
3 at 25A; Radio Keith up about
a point and Fox up 1 at 171a.
fCoppers firmed up with the bet
ter outlook for the red metal and
p fractional advance to 8A cents
a pound for copper in the domes-
tic market.
Westinghouse led the electrical
stocks with a 3-point rise to SO.
American Can forged ahead 2
points to 1924, leading the rally
IN the popular industrials. Bonds
were inactive but firm.

SEASONAL DROP
DUE IN STEEL
AND IRON
Variations So.Far This Year
From Month to Month Are
Better Than 5-Year Average
BY THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, June 5.-Because
the steel and iron industry is so
closely identified with American
prosperity, analytical students say
its progress should be closely
watched during the next few
months.
To avoid undue peSsimism over
a declining tendency during May,
June and July, a full recognition
Of the seasonal character OF the
industry is necessary.
Sag April to August
A study of the pig iron produc-
ton figures for the five years
preceding the banner year 1929 re-
veals a decidedly seasonal ten
dency. if the month-to-month COM
parsons with preceding months
are taken as a barometer to sup
plement the comparisons with
the previous year.
On that basis, the five-year
average month-to-month varia-
tions are: January increased
per cent, February increased "A
per cent, May decreased 8 per
