POINTS WAY TO EVADE
INHERITANCE TAXES.

ALBANY, n. Y, Dec. 27.-The case
with which men Of wealth may circum-
vent the recently enacted amendments
TO the inheritance tax law by transfer
ring their domiciles is pointed out by
State Comptroller Clark Williams in
his forthcoming annual report to the
Legislature. These amendments created
a progressive rate of tax when the
individual rate Of transfer exceeds GER
tain stated sums with a view TO in
creasing the revenues OF the State by
taxing those who were believed to be
most able to bear the burden
Certain objections to the Law are
raised by the comptroller. who recon-
mends that the Legislature give serious
consideration to the effect of the pres
N transfer tax law on the general
interests of the State.

ST. PAUL FIRE AND MARINE
MAY LOSE IT'S LICENSE.

DIES MONIES, Dec. 2T.-Because the
ST. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance
Company, of st. Paul, Mimi. refuses to
comply with the requirements of the
State insurance department relating to
the use of the standard fire policies
which they issue in Iowa, the company
stands a good chance Of having its
license revoked.
The State department requires that
each line shall be numbered and. un-
der the form provided by the State de-
partment. there are ninety-three lines.
Practically every insurance company
doing business In Iowa has complied
with the requirements. except the st.
Paul and its officers absolutely refuse
to obey the provision. The result is
that it Is impossible to refer to line
No. 70 for the words Ave years and
find them there. because they are not in
the line nor the place in the policy
which the department says they must
occupy.

TREASURY DEPT TO AID
COMMERCIAL AGENTS.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-The treas
ury department has sent notices to COL
lectors of ports and other custom off,
Gals announcing that the government
has entered into an informal reciprocal
agreement with England, and applicable
to Ireland, whereby American CONNER
travellers intending TO go to Eng
land or Ireland with samples of their
lines, or commercial agents coming
from England to America. so equipped,
may appear before any consul of the
country to which they are, going and
have the invoice of their samples certi-
fled to by that official. thereby obviat-
ing the long delay sometimes necessi-
tated in getting their baggage through
the customs houses upon arrival at
their destination.
The agreement does not, however, in
any way affect the operation of the
customs dues on this sort of baggage.

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-The cotton
market opened steady at a decline of
. points to an advance of 8 points and
ruled very quiet during the early trad
ing owing to the absence of the cables
and a continued holiday atmosphere, as
the market will again close on Friday
for over the weekend and New Years
Day. The more active positions ruled
about l to 3 points net lower during the
early trading under a little scattered
liquidation, which was absorbed on tho
decline by a moderate demand-from
some of the leading bulls and trade in
~terests.
The market continued very quiet dur
ing the middle of the day. A little
covering sent prices back from the
early loss of 2 to 3 points to the clos
ing figures Of last week. but toward
midday the market met with another
furry OF room selling and eased off to
o net loss of about . to 5 points in
consequence. Trade interests were
small buyers on the dips. and there
seemed to be a little support from lead
ing bulls, u the market showed little
feature and there was practically moth
ing in the way of news aside from bull
fish spot advances from the South and
private reports from the Southwest,
claiming that the rains recently re-
ported had been insufficient to help the
drouth situation.
Rumors that private ginning reports
Indicated more cotton ginned for the
period than for the same time last
year were followed by increased offer
ings during the early afternoon, and
prices eased off to d net loss of about
20 to "a points. The rumors were more
or less vague, and the ginning period
does not end until the first of the year,
but they evidently unsettled sentiment,
and the decline met little resistance.

THE CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO, Dec. 27.-Free selling
broke down the price of wheat today.
The market had opened a trife higher,
but splritless. On the whole. conditions
were unfavorable in the drought dis
trict Southwest, but cloudy weather
prevailed in Kansas. with moderate
temperatures. In the foreign news
there was q similar bearish offset. Al
though world shipments showed a fall
sian exports were heavier than expect
ed. There was an additional source of
weakness in the fact that consignments
from Oklahoma continued liberal. and
were showing signs of remaining so.
The opening was a shade to Il up.
May started at 6%9e6ls to se1a. with
the same range as the market as a
whole, and then declined 10 960s6h.
Predictions of rain or snow South
west caused further weakness, which
was emphasized by an increase of the
visible supply total Prices closed
steady, however, with May q cent net
lower, at 95s.
E1ttCAAlAoAh W ~
queez in the December delivery gave
corn a bullish beginning. Moderate
sales by a leading house, however,
eased the market. The opening was II
TO q higher to a sixteenth down, with
the nearby option the strongest. May
started a shade off to 1s@A up at 4sA
to 4s1k. and fell back to 4s.
Reports of rain in Argentina formed
a peal factor. The close, nevertheless,
was steady, with May down $@h cent
net, at ATS.
Oats weakened a little with other
grains. The market was inactive. May
opened unchanged TO a shade advance
at S4A@34% to s4%, and declined to
34h.
On accoun of a light run of hogs,
provisions we're in good demand and
hard to buy. First sales showed a rise
of 2h to Is, with May options at 19.07h
TO 1910 for pork, 1910 for lard and 1000
to 10.025s for ribs.

MARKET CLOSES
HEAVY; PRICES
At STANOST|LL
Trading Was Spiritless, with
Hardly Any Perceptible
Movement in List.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-The feature Of
the stock market under resumption Of
business following the triple holiday
was the severe decline in Genera Elec-
trio, due presumably to the approach
ing prosecution of the so-called electric
trust by the Federal government. Gen.
eral Electric opened with a decline OF
ia. and declined to "a points. The rest
of the list was inclined to weakness.
with the exception of Western Mary
land, which showed initial gains of u
to l point.
IL a. m.-Trading was all on the bear
side in the first hour, with what the
room regarded as especially good sell
ing of United States Steel. In addition
to General Electric, which continued
weak, there we're declines of a point
or over in Steel, Westinghouse, Union
Pacific, Reading and Lehigh Valley.
Buying orders at the low level resulted
in some ~recoveries before the end of
the first hour, but the markets under
tone was still heavy.
Noon.The selling movement gathered
volume in the second hour and caused
further declines in the active list. The
Same group of spectators who were
recently credited with much activity
for the long account were today promi-
nent on the other side. The closing Of
a local State bank of minor Importance
contributed to the predominant bearish
sentiment. General Electric made a
further decline 10 151 on light offer
ings. Exceptions to the downward
tendency were Consolidated Gas and
Western Maryland, but the movement
in these issues was attributed to pool
manipulation. Bonds were irregular.
1 p. m.-Prices hardly moved at all
during the usual interval of midday
dulness, but the undertone was much
better. Consolidated Gas lost all of its
forenoon rise and Pacific Mail was also
down 2 points.
2 p. m.-Speculation resembled that OF
the closing days of last week, prices
fuctuating narrowly on few transac-
lions. Amalgamated Copper sold down
over a point, but the other representa-
tive stocks were featureless.
3 p. m.1The market closed heavy.
Business In the. final hour was too
scanty to encourage any serious ma
ket movements, and trading accord
ingly was spiritless, with scarcely any
effect on prices. Some fresh selling
orders were executed in United States
Steel towards the close, and the market
eased off.
