GENERALLY GOOD
Reports from Trade and Indus
trial Centres Promising.

The consensus OF information received
by the commercial agencies during last
week suggests a good undertone and
favorable prospect "Duns Review com
ments as follows:
Confidence still holds sway in business
circles. Optimism in the West and South
has been tempered somewhat by the dam
age 10 corn. although II Is the opinion that
much OF the loss in that cereal will be of
set by the gain in wheat. Generally con-
sidered, agricultural prospects continue
promising. and the purchasing power OF
the farming community will be enhanced
by abundant harvests and remunerative
prices for the leading staples. Current
trade reflects the usual summer quietness,
yet encouraging reports outnumber those
OF an opposite character. Most statistics
Indicate expansion, foreign commerce be-
ing larger than a year ago, and railroad
earnings for four week OF July exceeding
the total in 1912 by 4.6 per cent and those
OF 1911 by 1917 per cent, though bank
clearings this week are per cent smaller
than last year. 4 slight increase In the
volume OF new orders is apparent in iron
and steel. but consumers are buying
cautiously and mainly for immediate re-
auirements. Advices from the Pittsburgh
district tell Of an active demand for pig
iron al lower quotations. and the call for
crude steel is we'll sustained. with prices
firm The prominent plants are working
al about so per cent Of capacity, and An
ishing mills are now in position 10 pro-
vide prompt deliveries. Preparations are
being made for fall business In drygoods.
and the steady purchasing by retailers has
materially reduced stocks. New figures
have been named for spring on staple
ginghams. and buyers OF cotton goods are
anticipating lower values because OF the
decline In the raw material. Future opeF-
atoms In mems wear are we'll under way,

Margin Accounts.

Most OF the business on recognized
stock exchanges is done on a margin
basis. The definition Of the word mar
gin" is sufficient to indicate its app!ica-
ton in a stock market sense. A margin
account may be for the explicit purpose
OF speculation or IL may be for invest
ment, contrary TO the usually accepted
definition OF the word. In stock market
sense. Buying on margin Is the same as
buying on partial payment down plan,
which means that you pay down a GER
tain amount OF money on the transaction
and must pay the remainder before you
obtain possession OF your securities
Naturally the great benefit OF margin
account is that II allows purchaser oil
stocks or bonds 10 buy a greater NUMBER
q, shares or Of bonds than he can afford
70 pay cash for. Stock Exchange brokers
usually require a margin OF 10 points on
each 800 OF unit value OF a security pur-
chased. This rule differs and has come
20 mean that FOR every share OF active
stock purchased a margin Of SO is paid 20
the broker. and for every bond OF N'1O
first payment OF 800 r. made 10 the
broker on account. The distinct differ
ence between margin account In stocks
and bonds and partial payment plan Is
that the margin must be kept up IL the
price OF the stock or bond declines. and
the brokers may call for a further pay
ment 10 make up any decline in the price
or the security or securities purchased
on a partial payment plan regular pay
ments are required. regardless OF price
fluctuations II customer buys ten
shares Of Union Pacific and pays TO the
broker 800 on account. so long as Union
Pacific continues 20 rise or remain at or
above the price at which IL was pur-
chased the broker probably will not call
for more margin; but II Union Pacific
declines 1--WE points then the customer
probably will be called on 10 make up the
five points ty Iutting up additional mar
gin The advantage 10 spectators or
buying on margin is apparent, as they
NAV buy at least ten times as much
stock as the value OF their margin &C
count and benefit by any advance In
prices In the event the stock goes down
they may put up more margin. may pay
for IL outright or close out at loss.

Some buyers are OF the opinion that
cotton will be lower during the fall and
il is expected that business will be larger

now a factor in market conditions. The
cotton yarn markets showed some

are again weaker. Oklahoma Oil and
Utah coppers have been advancing,
with a considerable volume Of dealings
recorded
The consequence OF the new duties 20
be imposed on industrial securities is a
matter Of great moment just now.
American oil, OF which the output is
by far the largest In the world, and
South African gold are the two basic
products upon which these duties will
fall most heavily. The United States
furnishes about three times as much
petrol as Russia, the next biggest pro-
Queer, and The Transvaal supplies far
larger quantities OF the precious metal
to the worlds money markets than
any other gold mining country. Gold
and oil are in constantly increasing de-
mand 'eryv here.
The value OF a pocket Of oil is linn
tied by the date upon which the store
OF rock oil becomes exhausted and the
value Of the shares of an oil company
depends upon its stock and its means
of supplying the same 10 the market.
The value Of shares decreases with the
diminution in the output until COM
plete exhaustion. The same remarks
apply to gold mines. A few shares pay
a heavy dividend, but the life Of these
mines lasts in some cases only from
four to five years.
To tax these securities in proportion
TO their revenue would be tantamount
10 appropriation. one OF the first
gold mines to become extinct is the
Robinson mine. Robinson pays 81 in
terest and has only four years to live.
The holder Of one hundred Robinson
shares. worth 1.54O. receives not quite
500 interest: therefore the investor
must carry out himself the amortiza-
ton Of his shares before the mine be-
comes extinct and retain only the bal
ance as interest on capital invested. II
perishable stock is taxed equally with
permanent securities this will practl-
cally mean the seizure by the French
fsc OF considerable part Of the capt
tai invested by &. private person in
such industrial enterprises.
II is hoped in interested quarters
that a politician with an open mind
and a good head for figures may pro-
pose some modification Of the present
scheme for taxing stocks and shares.
no
tity Of raw produce which is rapidly
drained in the working, such as mines,
minerals. oils. quarries and forests,
should not be taxed in excess Of The
duty fixed on all securities paying
maximum OF 3 per cent on the share.
The taxabl rate should be calculated
on the average stock market prices ~
the preceding year. II no amendment
in this direction be introduced the mar
ket value Of oil. gold mine and other
securities similarly situated will be ir-
remediably .'educed in a marked de-
gree.
