The New Preparedness.

Tomorrow there will be another holt
day followed by a Sunday, which was
one of the excuses for not buying
stocks yesterday, the precedent OF
week ago TO the contrary notwithstand-
ing. And to-day no unusual activity Is
looked for. though stocks bought in this
session do not have TO be paid for UNI
MI Monday. A break with Austria has
to some degree been discounted; but II
the break came over the Mondays y
would be more likely than not 70 find
some sentimental reflection in the stock
market. Brokers say that any break
that occurred would not be like ~ to go
far nor would it last long; but be-
cause a complete severance Of our diplo-
matte relations with Austria or any
ntber country might eventually lead 20
more drastic action a n'w prepared
ness, marketwise, would have to be de,
vised. That, some Of them think, would
tend to produce dulness for while.

France Loses Gold.

For the first time In many weeks the
Bank of France shows a decrease In it5
gold holdings. II amounts TO 56,276,OOO
francs, or, roughly. sl1,0O0,0oO. There
was no statement yesterday to show
where the gold had gone, but II the
bulk Of it were on its way to this coun-
try. either coming directly or through
England, It would not be surprising
The Bank Of France Is not bound to pay
gold, but can substitute silver, when
that course is considered desirable as
it often has been. II It parts win
gold et time like this 1t Is probably
because the metal is wanted by Eng
land. Earlier in the war there was
notable transference Of the metal from
france to England, when S4O,OOO'OOO
worth crossed the Channel, but nat
urally nothing was said about that un-
iii the transfer had been effected.

COTTON DOOMED
BY FOREIGN BUYING
Southern Spot Exports Lively,
While Demand for March
Continues Brisk.

Foreign buying OF the near months
and reports Of better export demand
in the Southern spot markets seemed
chiefly responsible for yesterdays ad-
vance in cotton futures. March con-
tracts sold up TO 1880, or II points
above Wednesdays closing figures, and
the market closed steady within point
or two OF the best, or about Is to
l6 points net higher on the general list.
There was some irregularity at the
opening. First prices were points
lower on January, while other months
were ? 70 points higher in sympathy
with steady Liverpoor cables. Reports
that additional January notices were
circulating accounted for the opening
decline in the near months, but IL was
soon learned that the tenders amounted
TO only 200 bales. and January quickly
iirmed up with the rest Of the list.
Liverpool was moderate seller OF
July and October. but heavy buyer
of March and May. while there was a
renewal Of the concentrated buying Of
March which had attracted attention on
previous day this week. This has been
attributed 10 houses with European
connections. The persistency Of this
demand. combined with the firmness OF
Liverpool and the better character Of
the Southern spot news, caused recent
local sellers more or less uneasiness.
Prices have worked gradually some Ii
TO II points above Wednesdays closing
figures. Demand tapered off on the
advance, but offerings were restricted
by the more favorable trade advices
from Manchester, and the market
showed very steady tone during the
entire day.
According TO one Of the private cables
received during the afternoon the firm
close at Liverpool was due 70 spinners'
calling. and reports of a good business
in Lancashire. with a prospect OF its
continuing. The spot sales reported
in Liverpool yesterday were larger
while the amount Of cotton forwarded
for the week showed a more rapid dis
tribution with these items, encourag-
ing the talk Of create activity by eN-
porters. Several messages from South
ern points during the day claimed q
better foreign demand, but one of the
wires from the Southwest suggested a
further slight advance in freight rates
quoting S2.35 to Liverpool, with room
scarce. The lack of tonnage is as much
factor in the situation as the alb
normal costs of transportation and i'm
! porting.
Prominent English statisticians now
estimate the worlds consumption Of
American cotton for the season at a.,
100000 bales. compared with an earlier
season estimate OF 100000 bales. The
/ revised figures allow for a consumption
+ of $3.50, 1000 bales in Great Britain anc
100000 to the Continent. Southern
spot markets, as officially reported
were unchanged TO 6 points higher. tx
ports for the day were S,S32 bales
making 2,270S52 so far this season
against 2,444,lS3 last year.

CRUDE OIL BOOSTED AGAIN
South Penn Company Advances Price
10 Cents a Barrel.

Pittsburgh, Dec. 30.-Another ed-
vance in the price OF crude oils was
announced by the South Penn Oil Com
pany at the opening of the market
to-day, Pennsylvania crude, the base OF
the list. being advanced 10 cents a
barrel. 20 S2.25. Ten cents also was
added TO mercer black, Corning and
Newcastle, bringing the price to Sl.75,
while eight cents additional lifted Ca
bell TO S1.7s and Somerset to sl.63.
Ragland was advanced three cents, to
rs cents.
Oil authorities expressed some hope
that this latest addition 70 the price
would bring out stocks now In the
hands of producers. which are badly
needed by the refnerles because of the
tremendous demand for oil for domes-
tic and foreign use.

Wish Father TO the Thought.

It's an old idea that when the Stand
ard Oil party, so-called, is buying
stocks everybody ought to buy them.
Which is another way of saying that
stocks are buy when they are going
up and a sale when they are going
down. Mr.. Dooley once had a scheme
to build a country house for $1,000,
puzzIs, find the $4,000. The Standard
oil proposition is something like that
puzzle, when are they buying? Some
Of the traders thought that they were
buying yesterday; which shows that
there can be cheerful thoughts in the
holiday season. Under examination
however. the value Of their conclusion
as market guide suffered a slight
shrinkage, because the deduction was
made entirely from the behavior OF st.
Paul and Corn Products.

Kronen and Rubles Down.

Austrian kronen checks dropped to
new low record in the foreign exchange
market yesterday, touching 1915, where
a discount from metallic par OF 3d. per
cent was shown. Russian rubles ike
wise made a new low at 29A, against a
metallic par Of 51.5, discount OF az
per cent. In the case Of Russia the
discount Is a much better measure or
her financial position IN this country
than in the case OF Austria, because
she has been able to buy goods IN the
United States and get them into her
territory. while her exports have neces-
sarily been few, so that the balance Of
trade has gone greatly against her. But
Austria has no reason TO buy here be-
cause she has no way Of getting her
purchases delivered. When there is no
chance of owing money II IS easy TO
keep ones credit pretty good.

Paris. Dec. 30.-Parliament has
just made New Years gift 10 all
persons having an income Of moro
than 5000 francs a year. The gift
takes the form Of putting into effect
the law passed in July, 1914, pro-
viding for an income tax. The tax
was to be charged from January /,
1915, but it would be met by greas
opposition in times of peace and In
the first year Of the war II was alb.
solutely impossible TO think Of. So
the application Of the tax was ad-
journed to January /, 1916.
We are now arrived at that date
without any preparations being
made for collecting the tax; never
theless, Parliament voted that the
tax apply from January /.
There is, however, one redeemins
feature. Tax will be due only. 10
will not be collected. Every one la
bic 70 pay will be required 70 mako
declaration of income before thu
end of 1915, but II the declaration Is
not made no steps will be taken by
the government before that time.
Moreover, men taken for the army
or for purposes of war will not be
required to make any report until
three months after peace is signed.
Making report on their incomes Is
a thing that will be insupportable to
French people, and the government
will find that as a rule II will have
to guess at the incomes Of contribu-
tors, and many of them will accept
guesswork, perhaps paying more
than they really should, rather than
disclose their affairs TO tho govern.
ment agents.
The most ardent adherents Of the
tax are obliged to admit II will pro-
duce only a small sum, during the
war at any rate, therefore 1t cannot
be said the tax is designed to help
the credit Of France.
It Is only a political manifesto
ton. And IL Is bad from another
point of view. War expenses will
continue TO increase, and It is just
at this moment when they are be-
coming really formidable that ths
government puts under tribute those
on whom it has to depend to take up
its loans.
State bonds, however, will not ba
subject 20 the tax. The amount OF
the tax is small as yet, but partisans
Of the measure have not d!ssimulated
their purpose TO put on the screws
as soon as possible. The worst feat
ure of the proposition is that those

to justify themselves by the claim it
will add an important sum to the
resources Of the state.
The Chamber Of Deputies has also
passed bill intended TO equalize the
prices of domestic and imported coal.
The general Idea is TO tax consumers
10 francs a ton on French coal and
use the proceeds Of the tax to cut
down the price Of imported coal.
Fortunately this beautiful plan Is
not yet law.
Gold In the Bank Of France has
increased from sli 100000 to $685.
