One of the provisions of the proposed
loan to the allies on bonds of Great
Britain is that they shall be free of
all British taxes. The burden of taxa
ton in Great Britain is something
dreaded at this time and likely to be
superimposed. Income tax is a large
percentage on important incomes and
a burdensome impost on small incomes.

Danger in Motor Stocks.

The sensa tional squirt in the stocks
of motor corporations - Studebaker,
General Motors. Maxwell Motor Com
pany and other industrial concerns in
the same line-seems to have reached
a point where danger signs and ad-
monitions of safety first" should line
the highway of speculation. With
greatly reduced prices for their finish
ed products these corporations cannot
be making much more money than they
were a year of two ago. when the de-
1nand seemed just as urgent, business
generally much better and materials
less expensive.
Some of the companies named have
prohted by the war. but others have
admitted that they have not booked an
order for foreign trade. When the war
is ended the demand for motor cars
may fall off very seriously.
But for the immediate present. while
present high levels and continued adj
vances are maintained, the market is
frausht with danger to the Spectator.

Demand for Short Maturities.

There is an excellent demand for
notes and bonds of short-term maturi-
ties. With the uncertainties of the
future investors of the conservative
stripe are keeping out of the stock
market and passing by favorable OPP
portunities in long-term bonds and pur-
chasing short-term maturities. giving
considerable attention to notes.
While the years transactions on the
Washington Stock Exchange in bonds
have not been important, it is prob
able that 100000 of municipal, pub
lie utility bonds and short-term notes
have been sold over the counter to in
Ncstors. Public utility bonds have be-
come great favorites of late. The buy
ers are largely banks seeking employ
ment for surplus funds, but investors
among the general public have been
to the front on the buying end of
many transactions.
