on the war revenue bill. The democrats
this morning agreed to their proposed
amendment taxing the gross receipts of
corporations, but reduced the tax from 2
to per cent. 1t has not been formally
submitted.
| Several amendments to the stamp tax
provision have been made by the repub-
leans. tending TO change certain classl.
fications and clear up antiquities that
exist in that part of the bill. Much opposi-
ton has been manifested against the pro-
posed rempositon of the old tax again t
retail dealers in cigars and tobacco.

This country is now at war with a for.
eign nation. Under the ordinary conditions
governing International commerce ana gov
ernmental credit the immediate result of
this fact of war should be that of heavy
decline in American securities. Yet there
Is no such decline and there Is absolutely
no tendency toward panieky feeling or
even toward any great uncertainty as to
quotations in the near future.
