Nearly everyone who has travelled
in Russia has, at some time or other,
run afoul of the official "red tape" of

His trunks had been examined, and
the traveller was about to pass into
the city when an official who had been
scanning his travelling papers stopped
him.

.. Lower money rates have come
about, more seasonable weather
has quickened the retail trade,
purchases by foreign governments
of war supplies have broadened
the wooden. cloth, and shoe trades
and this factor of foreign buying
is bound to be a very important
feature as long as the war lasts.
A broader market for cotton
is helping the South. While the
staple is cheap the prospects are
much better for putting the mar
ket on solid basis than they were
as long as the exchanges remained
closed. Moreover, the South has
seen the advantages of diversified
crops and will be less dependent on
single crop for its existence.
Grain prices continue high and
grain exports continue liberal.
Europe is taking large quantities
of wheat and flour, oats, rye, bar
ley and corn at good prices and the
farmers have been taking full ad-
vantage of the market by selling

Certificates Taxed and UntaXed

The provision of the stamp tax

or documents issued by any port

AS the average person has very
little to do with certificates OF
profits or certificates of damage
only the general provision will be
treated here; that is, certificates
of any description required by law
not otherwise specified.
The first requirement necessary
to subject any given certificate to
the stamp tax is that it shall be one
which is required to be given by
law, national, state or municipal.
All such are taxable except those
which are given strictly in the ex-
ercise of the functions govern

The following certificates require
stamps:
Certificates of birth, marriage
and death, when issued to private
persons for private use; certificates
of incorporation; certificates of the
clerk of court to the qualifications
of notary public or justice of the
peace; judgment certificates, tax
certificates and also certificates of
protest of note or bill of exchange.
The following certificates do not
require stamps:
ACertifcates of birth, marriage
and death, given in pursuance of
the laws of the state requiring the
collection and registration of vital
statistics as basis for the admins
tration of public health laws;
teachers certificates issued by state
or county officers; letters of admin
istration and other probate papers,
certificates of sale for unpaid taxes
and certificates of redemption.
A mercantile license or liquor
dealers license, being a certificate
