MUST REFUND $1,OOO,OoO.
Taxes Illegally Collected on Requests
and Legacies.

The refunding of at least $1,000, GOO in
taxes. illegally collected will result from a
recent decision of the commissioner of in
ternal revenue that under the act of June
49, 1902. which repealed the war revenue
act. the tax on bequest or legacy does not
lie except where the beneficiary came into
actual possession and enjoyment of the
property bequeathed prior to the passage
OF the act of June u, 1902. This reverses
the practice of the internal revenue bureau
under which the tax was levied and col
lected regardless Of whether the benefici-
aries came into the enjoyment of the prop
erty before or after the war revenue act
was repealed

THE LONDON MARKET.

LONDON, August 21.-The favorable con-
struction which Wall street placed on
President Roosevelts speech at Province
town, Mass, yesterday, and the subsequent
rise in prices at New York. caused Ameri-
cans to open strong on the stock exchange
this morning. but in the absence Of sus-
tanned buying power prices soon dropped
and at noon the market ruled dull. with
quotations fractions under parity.
In other directions the tendency was bet
ter. Consols improved a quarter of a point
and Copper shares attracted attention, Rio
Tito advancing ~ on continental buying.

BULLS AND BEARS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 21.-Various specu-
lators who have operated on the short 6. Ie
for some time endeavored to convey the
impression this morning that the Presi-
dents speech was the most unfavorable
document of Its kind that has come to
hand thus far. When questioned closely
! as to the features of the speech which
they regarded as most alarming, 1t was
easy to see that they had not read 1t care
fully and in some instances had only
glanced at the headlines.
Conservative and prominent banking and
railroad interests were practically unani-
nous in the opinion this morning that the
speech should be regarded favorably, and
they were willing to go on record as ex-
pressing the opinion that 1t would go fur
Their toward restoring confidence and bring
ing about settled conditions in financial
circles than anything that has come to
hand for some months. They believe that
the effect abroad will be equally as good
on this SIDE.
These and other observers do not believe,
however, that the foregoing should be taken
as a signal for great activity in the Sc
curities market. While they are certain
that as soon as confidence begins to re-
turn the supply OF money in the regular
channels Will be much more abundant
than 1t has been for many months, they
think that monetary conditions just now
are sufficiently acute to demand Qu:etness
as to speculation in stocks and bonds.
They believe that If the leading securities
are allowed to take their own course and
no undue effort made to advance them, in
vestors will steadily absorb the floating
supply and will thus make the technical
position of the market stronger than it has
been for -veral years.
While railroad earnings in most instances
continue to show substantial increases over
corresponding periods of last year, and
while no material falling off in business is
reported in many of the leading lines, con-
siderable transaction is looked for before
the end Of the year, and If this comes about
leading financial interests think that the
monetary situation will be brought into
very good shape.
Many people in Wall street are attaching
great Importance to the return of Mr..
Morgan. While 1t is generally acknowl-
edged that he could easily occupy even a
more prominent position in the financial
world than he has in many years. some Of

Americans Heavy in London.

American stocks were exceptionally
heavy in London, and the limited opera
lions conducted here for foreign a ,Counts
were practically all upon the selling
price.
There was material contraction in the
volume of business in comparison with
yesterdays dealing, and the trading was
largely of a professional and manspula-
tive character. Wide fluctuations in quo
ta1ons. even in the most active stocks
were a feature of the market which at
tracted good deal of comment as indi-
eating the narrow and unsettled charac-
ter of the dealing
Even In the instance of such an active
stock as Union Pacific transactions were
frequently effected one-half point away
from the preceding sale. Union Pacific
furnished goodly proportion of the total
transactions in the railway list; other
comparatively active issues there were
southern Pacific, Reading. St Paul, the
so-called Hill stocks and Atchison.
As has been the case for several DAYS
past, IL was observed that many OF the
inactive shares in the railway list and in
other quarters of the market were dealt
In on recessions from their last sales of
record, even when prices were advancing
in other directions

Reactionary Tendencies.

Reactonary tendencies prevailed among
the industrial and miscellaneous issues
during the larger part of the business
session, but discussion with regard to the
dealings In that quarter was OF only the
same general character as attached to the
transactions in the railway list
AS usual. United States Steel common
American Smelling and Amalgamated Con-
per furnished the bulk of the transactions
IN that department. Brooklyn Rapid
transit was one of the weakest features of
the whole market, but otherwise the deal
ings In the traction securities were in re-
duced volume. Reports were current in
the earlier part of the day that construc-
tlon work upon the unfinished Belmont tun-
mel had been abandoned, but these were
subsequently unauthortatively denied
In the curb market there took place a
further very severe break in American
TOBACCO common, a circumstance which
was naturally not without interest in stock
exchange circles.

Sharp Rise in Grain.
There was a very sharp rise in the grain
market, based in part upon unsa tisfa Glory
