ALL NEW SALOONS
WILL HAVE TO PAY THE
PRO-RATA INCREASE OF
THE DOW TAX.
Although the Dow Tax Year
Does not End Until May 4
The Attorney Generals
Opinion on the Ques-
ton.

1t has been question among saloon
men as to the opinion of the revised
Dow law, whether the new saloons
would have to pay the pro rata in
crease before the first of May.
Attorney General Monnett has
made an official Interpretation of it.
The Goodale bill, increasing the Dow
tax 500 a year, was made operative
upon its passage, although not ap-
plying to the saloons which have al
ready paid their tax for the year.
The Dow tax year does not end until
the 4th of next May, and the question
was as to whether saloons going into
business between the present time
and that date would be compelled to
pay the proportion of $3.50 tax, or
of a $3.50 tax, as under the old law.
Auditor of State Guilbert submit
ted the question to Attorney General
Monnett, who has decided that the
proportion of q $3.50 tax must be paid.
AS matter of justice to persons in
tending to engage in the liquor busi-
ness within the next three months,
the Goodale law should have been
made to take effect at the end of the
present Dow tax year, which is the
4th of May, and it is probable that
the omission of this provision was a
mere oversight.
The decision of the attorney general
means difference of $25 to liquor
dealers who took out a license inn
mediately after the passage of the
Goodale law, or who intend to do SO
at once.

GROUND FOR CONFIDENCE.
Decline in Business Failures Regarded as
a HOpeful Sign.

Decline In business Failures Regarded as
Hopeful Sign.
New York, Dec. Or. G. Dun & Co.,
in their weekly review of trade, say:
1.-THE classified failures for November,
given to-day, show a gratifying reduction
compared with October. and are especially
important as showing that the peculiar dis
turbance during the presidential campaign,
which swelled failures s360OO,0O0 In August
and September, did not prevent quick re.
turn to a monthly aggregate scarcely
greater than that of May. Defaulted liza
bilities in II months have been s19S, 1855 459,
against 544,202 last year, the increase
being only S14000,00O outside of those two
months, and this remaining increase of
only 10 per cent. was also due in part to the
alarm during the campaign. The decline
of failures to about 40 per cent. of the Sep
TENDER aggregate gives stronger ground
for the confidence so generally expressed
Failures for the week have been $40 in the
United States, against 1924 last year, and In
Canada IS, against 81 last year.
Ground for confidence is also found in
the abandonment of two Of the largest
combinations by which the iron industry
has been retarded and the possibility that
two others WILL be abandoned. Such q
state of things within month after the
election suggests that these organizations,
formed when depressed business failed to
SuppOIl dll lllo wOIhS III SAlSlcllC6 dTe 1lOL
expected to survive general revival and
ample demand for products. The immedi-
ate effect of breaking prices is to check
buying Of iron and steel products, but 1t
will soon be seen about where prices are
to range. AT present the base price for
wire nails Is SLIPS. against s2.55 two weeks
ago. with greater reduction on small sizes.
because new cards reduced extra"
charges. Beams are selling at $1.35, against
S1.55 two weeks ago, and there are sales of
billets below the fixed price, The bar COM
bination is still undersold by steel bars at
IL cents, and nothing is doing in rails. be-
cause the meeting shortly to be held will
settle whether any price shall be fixed
for the next year. Bessemer pig at Pitts
burgh is lower, at s11.65, and gray forge al
$40, but there is large demand for vessel
plates, both on foreign contracts and fol
| the lakes. Several thousand cars have
been ordered and numerous new buildings
and bridges.
THE volume of business shown by clear.
ing house returns was for the past week
nearly per cent over last year, and for
the month of November per cent, and II
per cent. less than 1892, the comparison be,
| ing the best for the past five months"
