Tax Omcials Watching for Seques-
tered Securities-Quota ON
Miscellaneous Stocks.

A sale of 160 shares of Belt common at
los was reported at the Stock Exchange
yesterday. There is great demand for
this stock since the publication of it's extra
dividend making it a per cent. stock. The
stock being that of an Indiana corporation,
is not taxable when owned by residents of
Indiana. Some investors do not always
care for this advantage, but those not
given to sequestering their securities from
the tax collector regard this advantage as
a wholesome one. Tax officials are now
alert in watching the settlement of the es-
tates Of rich men. and much has been
added to the tax duplicates by the discov-
cry of sequestered bonds and stocks.
John ID. Collett, capitalist, was elected
a member of the Stock Exchange yester-
day.
The New Long Distance quarterly divi-
dend of 1 per cent. is announced and the
