(Bv Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—Tlie further drop in brokers loans comes as a pleasant surprise and also emphasizes the fact that investment buying which after ail Is the best indicator of public sentiment, is still of substantial proportions. Unquestionably President Hoover’s campaign to eliminate the last traces of pessimism is bearing fruit and with constructive developments unfolding almost daily we should soon see a decided improvement in basic industries. Unofficial Washington advices are to the effect that the interstate commerce commission’s plan for railroad consolidations is about ready to be submitted to congress and should be published within a matter of a few days. We believe railroad shares should begin discounting merger possibilities. They have not participated in the recent strength proportionately with the industrials and from an Investment standpoint we recommend them to prospective investors at present levels.
