TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
OFFICE OF INTERNAL REVENUE,
WASHINGTON, April II, lS67.

SIR:-I reply to youls of tue llth
instant, that no deduction can be al
lowed in any case for depreciation in
the value of stocks, unless they are
sold and loss actually realized.
So long as the taxpayer possesses a
title 10 the stocks it cannot be predi-
Gated that he has lost anything by in
vssting in the same.
1t may be apparent that if he should
sell his stocks at Il given time he would
experience a loss on his investment,
but until he does sell such stocks, it is
clear that no actual loss has been sus-
tanned.
It is always possible that the same
stocks which he now deems quite
worthless, will suddenly or gradually
appreciate, so much even as to exceed
their original cost.
II the capital stock of a company has
been entirely sunk and destroyed be-
vond hope of recovery, and real loss
OF the same has been sustained beyond
any reasonable doubt, such loss is IL
loss of capital, for the deduction of
which from income, the law IN force
gives no authority.
The law allows for certain losses OF
capital, but only for losses by fire. ship
wreck. and incurred in trade, and debts
aScertained in 1866 TO be worthless.
The loss oil stock company by fire
or shipwreck, il such companies were
IisbIe to income tax, lroUtd be dedHctibie
from the income Of such companies. NOT
from the income of the stockholders
thereof.
The fact that such companies are not
subject 10 income tax. makes loss Of
tAis character. none the less Il loss Of the
company: and you will, therefore, br
very careful not TO allow such loss TO
any stakeholder OF such companies.
Very respectfully.
iSisuedl THOMAS HARLAND,
Deputy Commissioner.

The following letter was received a
few days since by Col. II. W. Crothers,
Revenue Inspector, First District, W.
Va, in answer to the question whether
a deduction could be allowed for de-
probation of stocks not sold. 1t will
be seen, that the stockholders of Il
company cannot claim any deduction
from their income, as individuals, by
reason of any loss sustained as cor
poration. The law makes no provision
for loss of capital, except by ire, ship
wreck, or incurred in trade, and debts
ascertained to be worthless during the
year TOR which income tax is being
assessed.
The decision OF the Commissioner is
an important one. and deserves the
candid consideration of every tax
payer.

Thanksgiving supper.--The Good
Templars of Fremont propose to give their
friends good, old fashioned Thanksgiving
Supper at Mammoth Hall on The evening Of
the 2Sth inst. The following circular puts
their case in better style than we can do it:
"The members and friends of the Fremont
Lodge Of Good Templars will give grand,
old fashioned Thanksgiving Supper, at Man,
moth Hall, Thursday evening, Nov 2Stb,
1867.
"The object of the Supper is to provide
funds for the Treasury of "Fremont Tenn
pie" that the Lodge may be successfully
sustained in its efforts to promote the cause
of temperance in our midst, to reclaim the
fallen, and to encourage and sustain the
the use of intoxicating liquors. Thus far
the Lodge has done noble work, counting
in its ranks many who were formerly "mod-
crate" or occasional" drinkers some who
had reached the depths of drunksrd's mis-
cry who are now, thanks to its restraining
influences, 'total abstinence" men, freed
from the chains of the monster "Intemper-
ance."
1--WE, therefore, hope that the people of
Fremont and vicinity will turn out en-
masse, encourage us by their presence, and
enjoy pleasant, social evening together, as
no effort will be spared to make the occasion
one of the pleasantest ever enjoyed in this
city.

admission, including Supper, fifty cents.

Fostoria, Seneca Co., Ohio, writes the In
stitute Club of New York concerning an
experiment made by him with several
varieties Of potatoes, during the past season.
They were planted in drills-seed, single
eyes-on the 18th day of April, and received
the same cultivation. The result was as
follows Goodrich Early, ID. seed gave

per acre, the product would be ls6 bush. per

Now Is the time to buy.-Tbe prices
of Dry Goods ssve fallen very rapidly with
in the past few weeks ond have now reached
their lowest point. Many styles Of cotton
goods can be bought for less per yard than
the gold prices in 1860, and for much less
money than it costs to manufacture them.
1t is barely possible that the prices will fall
still more but not at all probable. Every
one who is posted in trade looks for rise
during the mouth. If anything is needed
in the line Of Dry Goods nos is the time to
call on BEIsToL d TAYLOR, WN. A. RteE'
WARREN & Co., or GARvIN d Co., where
the best assortments will always be found.

Stamped Hnvelopes.-The old fash
ioned postage stamps, once considered SO
great convenience, are now voted nui-
sance. They are SO often lost when used,
and are SO often forgotten by writers of let
ters, that the Department has decided to
discourage their further use. Accordingly,
disseminating their further manufacture, it
is said that the Department has determined
to issue in future only stamped envelopes.
These will be issued Of all sizes and of all
rates of postage, and, to encourage their gen.
eral use, they will be sent to any address,
when three hundred are ordered, with the
printed notification on the back to return to
the writer IL not called for in specified
time. This remailing, also viii be done free
of postage.
