The revenue t. be derived by the conn-
~ fr0m the mercantile tax Is likely to be
increased by the new law which went
into effect on January ist last
The sniali dealers wh0. selling less
than SI.0oO worth Of goods a year. we're
exempted before, nov have TO pay a tax.
Tue new law is intended ~ catch every
one, except hose " who sell articles ortheir
own manufacture. A man who raises
vegetables. fruits or grain Oh a farm and
sells the same would be exempt from
tax. but II ne buys any Of these things
and sells them again be Is liable u pay
the tax. Any person who buys raw mn
terial and manufactures IL into something
else Is exempt. but merely cutting il up
into parcels 70 suit customers is not
manufacturing. A butcher who buys &
carcass OF beef, cuts it up and sells II. Is
liable 70 pay the tax. and so II it Is pork
in which he is dealing. but If he makes
the animals into bologna. sausage or pud-
ding. be must pay the TAX. There are
many men who conduct business that
is partly manufacturing and partly mer-
camille They must keep DOCKS and Dc
prepared to present them whenever they
are required to do so.
There is likely 70 be considerable dis
satisfa,aioE with the Law because of the
extra trouble it will give the small dealer,
A. well as the fact that it leaves no loop
hole Of escape and requires a payment of
tax by many who have been exempt
heretofore because of the small amount
Of sales made.

American Horses for the rranavaal

Many horses. ultimately designed for
use by the English Government Ia the
Transvazl, are being bought just now in
Kansas City. Owing to the demand at
present the supply Of horses in England
Is becoming low, and 80 Engiishmen are
in Kansas City buying and shipping to
England for the purpose OF supplying
the demands there. The result Is that
there is an advance in the price Of horses
suitable for government purposes IL Is
estimated that the English Government
has already bought two thousand horses
on account Of the South African War
This does not seem large number. but
il should be remembered that it Is diff
cult TO find perfect horse. It il stated
that inspection for our own cavalry re-
jects ten horses to choosing one consider
ed up TO the standard. Whatever the
British buy Is Of the best. and this must
necessarily raise the price Of superior
horse-fiesh.
