Chicago, Oct Wheat-There was
some Improvement in wheat trade to-
day. The volume of business was
larger and OF better character. The
market displayed a downward tend ancy
especially for the May delivery, which
was affected by heavy Armour selling.
The buying was scattered and mostly
by local traders and commission houses.
Prices were fairly steady until Armour
selling set in. December was COMPARE
lively firm and some of the buying
was said to be for account of Arm our.
Early market was affected by easy tone
of cables.
Corn-The market ruled steady to
firm. 1t was Influenced at times by
weakness in wheat, but on small de-
clines there was sufficient demand
to advance prices little above yes
terday's close, but last prices are about
unchanged. While local scalpers are
said to be bearish they sold very little.
There was fairly good demand from
commission houses and some selling by
local longs.
Oats-There was general demand
for December oats from commission
houses and moderate buying by cash
people of May and December. The
market was steady until wheat broke,
then a small decline occurred.

Shall IHE BANKS Ply!
Are They Liable For Taxes on
Bonds Assessed Against the
Stockholders?
THE COURT ASKED TO DECIDE
Question of Whether Cor
poration in This State Can be Mada
to Pay the Private Obligations of Its
Shareholders to be Determned-Test
Case is Brought.

/ Des Moines. Oct. 30.-Can a corpor
private obligations of its stockholders
This is a question which Judge Jane
Howe of the district court of Poll
| county has been called upon to decid,
and upon which he will render an opin
ion within the course OF d few days.
The decision in the case which wa:
commenced against the city of De:
Moines by the Des Moines, the Home
land the Peoples Savings banks O
this city will be of statewide import
ance ina smuch as it will declare
whether by the popularity of the law
cities are going to be able to assess
indirectly, United States bonds. This
particular case involves the payment
of $4,000 by these three banks Ii
the city is sustained this great sum
will go into the city treasury. II the
banks carry their point. they will be
gamers.
In Iowa government bonds held by
banks have not been assessable and
it is an open secret that banks quite
generally have been investing their
surplus stock in this kind OF paper for
the purpose OF avoiding the paying of
taxes
The legislature, however, passed 4
law. tho 1t may not have been for
the specific purpose Of outwitting this
scheme, which has caused the present
action. The law provided that the
stock of state and savings banks
shouldn't be assessed against the cor
poration but against the stockholders
personally and the taxes collectable
for such from the bank Itself Acting
under this law the city of Des Moines
proceeded to assess banks as speci-
fled and brought these three into line
for $4,000. They appealed from the
assessment and the case has had its
day in court The banks thru thei..
attorneys argue that the method of
assessment is virtually making the
bank as a corporation pay the obiiga-
tions of individuals. The city con-
tends that the bonds assessed as
stock against private individuals are
taxable and that inasmuch as the as
sessment Is not against the bank as
Il corporation, these taxes must be
paid.
Under the city's contention it is
plainly seen that If they are sustained
the method of assessing stock against
the stockholders including the govern
ment bonds, will be customary all
over the state. Should the court hold
this way. tho. it is understood the
matter will be carried to the supreme
court.
Another interesting phase of the
case comes in under the tax ferret
law If the city is upheld In its as
sessment the question will arise as
to whether under the tax ferret law
the city can not go back for four years
and assess and collect taxes with in
terest from these stockholders on their
shares in the bank. This would amount
to an enormous sum.
The question is under submission
and Judge Howe will undoubtedly
render a decision within the course OF
a few days
