BETTER MARKET
TONEEVIDENT
Display of Reserved Strength
Features Session In
Wall Street.
RAILS GET ATTENTION
Interest centers on Announcement OF
Sale of SIS 100000 of New Obi
cations of New York City.

New York, April 5.-With all the pro-
fessionalism of the current dealings the
stock market continues to yield a bal
ance Of indications of improving tenden-
cies. TOday's session resolved itself into
another display OF restrained strength.
Dealings contracted somewhat in volume,
but it was manifest in the sharp gen.
eral rise at the outset that there had been
some overenthUsiastic speculative selling
IN the reactionary movement of Tuesday
afternoon,
In the course of the morning there was
a diversion Of attention to rails, which
rose somewhat aggressively, with the
consequence, however, OF rendering the
Industrial department distinctly dull. In
the last hour the renewal Of animation
In the industrial quarter was accompa-
MED by advancing prices, and even
though there was some irregularity to-
wards the close, the final tone was
strong.
There was no item in the routine of
financial news to compare in interest
with the announcement of the forth
coming sale of S55,OOO,OOO of new obIga-
tons by the city OF New York. The re-
duction Of the interest rate to Ala per
cent, compared with the Ala per cent
rate Of last summers offering, testifes
to the excellence Of investment condi-
tons

Wall street Regnins Confidence.

Summarizing the action of the New
York list yesterday, w. b. Hibbs & Co.
yesterday received the following tele-
gram from Logan & Bryan, their New
York correspondents:
Logan & Bryan: The industrials were
irregular The rails higher. News from
the other side was rather more plentiful
and concrete. 1t was said that England
will release a certain number of ships
each month from military service for
the purpose OF facilitating transconti-
mental shipments of freights. The Ger
man chancellor was quoted as stating
that Germany is not hostile to the
United States and he Is credited with
having discussed. or at least letting it be
known, that peace proposals we're ten
dered to the Allies some time ago
The Mexican news was not decisive
There has been observable Of late a
greater disposition to favor the rail de-
partment. It seems quite probable that
II labor difficulties are averted that a
little later on the rails may begin to re-
fleet their improved position, particu-
larly from an earning viewpoint.
All in all, however, there are not as
yet any distinct Indications OF the stand
ard issues having worked themselves out
Of the prescribed limits in which the
same have been ruling for quite some
time, though withal the financial COM
munity Is gradually becoming accIi-
mated to the uncertainties in the situa-
ton, and the same therefore, are losing
a little of their force as restraining Infiu-
ences.
Strong market interests are said to be
patiently waiting an incentive to pro-
mote a resumption OF advancing tenden-
cies in the higher type Of securities.

Income Tax Ruling Protested.

The possibility that the decision of the
Treasury Department, that bankers and
agents handling incomes at their source
are responsible for the collection of tax
from nonresident alien-owned securities,
will have a retroactive force in view of
its reversal OF a prior decision, IL causing
bankers no end of worry. Bankers and
corporations fear that, because OF the re-
versal, they will be held for the payment
of taxes which, under the prior ruling,
were not collectible. The Treasury De-
partment Is being deluged with protests
In kilograms and by personal represen-
tation against the retroactive effect of
this decision.

A LITTLE TALK ON PAINT AND PAINTERS
Which Contains Suggestions for Others as Well
CONTINUED from Tuesday,
Copyright 1916, by the Mcclure Newspaper

Last year a painter did some inte-
rior work for a friend of mine. The
WORK was first-Class, but the PAINT
wasn't. THE PAINTER DID NOT
KNOW ABOUT PAINT. He knew how
to handle a paint brush, but when
It came to the goods he was using. he
took the statements of the paint man
ufacturer, or he Just guessed as to the
kind of paint that should be used.
The walls were tinted. When the
work was done my friend was
pleased. But his satisfaction didn't
last long. The paint began to fade.
If the location of a picture was
changed, there was a square left on
the wall of a different color from the
space around it. If a piece of fur
niture stood against the wall for any
length of time and then was moved.
there was left a dark splotch show
ing where it had stood. That paint
ing, which had looked so good when
1t was done, became an eyesore.
Now, that painter intended to give
my friend n good job. but he didn't
know how to mix paint so it would
resist the action of light as long as
possible I VIII he get another job
from my friend? Figure it out for
yourself.
IN ORDER TO BUILD UP A SUB
STANTIAL. PROFITABLE BUSI-
NESS. YOU HAVE GOT TO DO
EACH JOB so SATISFACTORILY
THAT YOUR CUSTOMER WILL RE-
TURN WHEN HE WANTS MORE
WORK DONE. PERMANENT sec
cess and prcht depend upon REPEAT
SALES and NOT on the odd jobs that
come to You from time to time from
people who never patroniscd YOU be-
fore.
There's another thing to bc learned
about painting. What makes paint
peel of? Most painters will say 1t is
