Massachusetts's New Tax Law.

The State Of Massachusetts recently
passed new income tax law which, ac-
sording 20 Harris, Forbes & Co., who
nave prepared a synopsis of its work
ings. is zone Of the most important and
one Of the most beneficial acts of legis-
lston passed by the state in recent
years Ii is pointed out that the new
act differs from the old personal prop
er'y tax law by taxing intangible prop
erty, not on the principal at the local
rate. but on the income derived there
rom. For example, the tax on $1,000
% per cent bond yielding yearly in
come Of S35 was under the old law on
principal Sls.55, or SO per cent of the
income, whereas the tax on the same
POND under the new law will amount 70
s-lO, or per cent Of the income. The
average tax rate IN Massachusetts for
me last three years was $3.50 per
thousand. The new law, II is pointed
out, reduces the tax on bonds from a
rate wellnigh confiscatory 70 uniform
and equitable basis. Individuals and
trustees who have been compelled by
prohibitiye tax to confine their invest
iments IN comparatively narrow scope
nave now open 70 them a broad field OF
Investment bonds. which will be taxable
~ the nominal rate Of per cent on the
Income.

tional department Of the National City
Bank. While the crop itself seems q
small matter. it illustrates the impor-
tance Of this single feature of our in

interest: for a strawberry crop which
represents S2O,000,000 at the place Of

Norfolk Acts Up.

Norfolk L Westerns upturn was as

shortly after the noon hour that car

The move did not stop there, and the
stock continued TO dominate the trad

bringing up at 1870. an advance of .
points and n new high. Norfolk closed

this stock more than made up the divi-
Gend Of pa per cent that came off on
Wednesday. in all, around $4,000 shares
changed hands, making Norfolk, next

most active stock on the list. Wall
Street was puzzled to explain such a
sudden upturn in stock that is gen
,rslly considered a conservative in
restment issue, and there we're rumors
that the extra dividend declared at the
last meeting might be increased in
July. The Street also talked of a dis
tribution Of Norfolk's Virginia coal

A Collateral Loan?

In some quarters the belief exists
that the large bulk Of American securi-
ties borrowed by the British Treasury
from now on will not come onto the
market, but will be employed as col
lateral for loans. According 70 this
weeks bullion letter of Scrinivss R..
Wsgel, there is reason for believing
that already about S750,00Q00 worth
Of mobilzed securities arc available for
collateral purposes, and he says, fur
thermorc, that IL has already been de
cided not TO put these securities on the
market here. His explanation of the
purposed new British income tax ia
that England wants TO be we'll prepared
10 give a sufficiently large collateral
for the loan sought here. Unless
France is willing and able to send out
more gold 20 England, Mr.. Wagel says
there will be no further gold ship

HIGHER INTEREST
RATES PREDICTED
City Bank Says Reduction
i'm Reserves Is the
Main Cause.

The National City Bank. in its June
letter TO it's clients, predicts that high
er interest rates for money may be ex-
pected soon. The prophecy is based
on the reduction of bank reserves in
New York, which has been going on
since the latter part of January and
which the bank says has about reached
the point where it must have some In
fuence upon interest rates.
"The last Clearing House statement,
says the letter, Shows the surplus
down to S67,7S3,O00, which compares
with S175,069.7 700 on January ~. Inis
reduction is due in only small degree
to loan expansion. Loans have IN
creased in the four months by Slls,-
100000. and a corresponding increase
of deposits without change IN the re-
serves would have reduced the surplus
by about 100000.
"The change has been effected in the
main by a loss Of reserve cash, which
has fallen from 1928. $4,000 on January
% 20 22.449, 900 on May 27. A large
part of this went TO the Treasury, the
payments of the Clearing House 70 the
airy | TO May 20 aggregating S74,33l,-
325."
Payments into the Sub-Treasury dur
ing the month of June. the City Bank
points out, will be unusually heavy on
account of the income tax. AS most
of the banks are now down close to the
1s per cent reserve limit this was a so
referred TO as factor which will make
for higher interest rates.
Announcement was made IN the
banks June letter that It had opened a
branch at Santiago, Cuba. and arrange
ments have been. completed for the
opening OF others at Valparaiso, Chill.
and Genoa, Italy, at an early day.
Agencies are also determined upon at
Bahia. Brazil. and Milan. Italy.
