Unitrd Press NEW YORK, July 18.—Profittaking caused an easier tone on the Stock Exchange today despite further attempts to stir up bullish enthusiasm. Trading was quiet and selling was generally well-absorbed. Most of the higher-grade shares such as General Electric. United States Steel. Westinghouse Electric. American Can and American Telephone, met support. Radio Bought Reactionary tendencies were prevented from gaining headway by a resumption of pool activities In Radio, which ran up nearly 2 points on buying attributed to the Meehan interests. A few utilities such as Consolidated Gas and American and Foreign Power made good headway on the upside, while J. I. Case staged another characteristic runup with a gain of nearly 10 points. Some early selling was induced by the increase of $40,000,000 in brokerage loans in the last week as announced last night by the federal reserve board. Selling Advised A further cut in the export price of copper, while expected, had a dampening effect on sentiment, and many of the larger brokerage houses were advising the taking of profits pending further technical correction in the list. Notwithstanding the heaviness in many of the leaders and the adverse news developments, most of the pivotal shares met strong demand in the noon hour and little extension of the late morning losses was suffered by trading favorites.

BRITAIN, IRAQ SIGN PACT Treaty Pl* Iging War Aid Effective Wltu Entry in Lear e. Bu l.'nitrit I'rrst LONDON. July 18— Mutual aid in the event Great Britain or the kingdom of Iraq become involved in war was pledged in the treaty between the two countries under which Iraq obtained its complete independence on its admission into the League of Nations. The treaty, which replaces the treaty of alliance signed at Bagdad in 1922, was published by the British foreign office Thursday night. It will become effective when Iraq is admitted into the league, which probably will be in 1932, and will remain effective twenty-five years.

In the Stock Market
(Bv Thomson A McKinnon) NEW YORK, July 18—Obviously a moderate increase in brokers’ loans was to be expected. In our opinion we have doubtlessly seen the minimum figure of broker borrowings for some time. Moreover, believe we have about reached the extreme low point in interest rates as well. Already there is to be noted a hardening in time money. This does not necessarily mean that any immediate advance in rediscount rates is to be anticipated, but the subnormal commercial rates seem to have struck rock bottom. Rising loans and firming money under present conditions we should accept as bullish factors. Undoubtedly the advance in certain sections of the market has been a little too rapid. It is equally true, however, that the major portion of the list has made comparatively small progress and we are of the opinion that there will be intermittent shifting of interest to such issues which appear to be behind the market.
