STOCK MARKET Dull;
WORRIED over TAXES
Steel Strongest Feature Of Day-Break
in RubIes Affects List.

(By the international News ServIee.)
New York. May 1i.-Stocks were ex-
tremely dun today and showed by their
action that the strength of the previous
two days had been due chiefly to short
covering. The short interest being re-
duced to purely normal proportions
there seemed to be no buying power in
the market
The market opened strong and was
moderately active for few minutes but
1t very quickly sold OF and at the lower
levels became dull until late in the after
noon when activity Increased. The fea-
ture of the afternoon was the selling Of
American Telephone and Telegraph.
This was the stock that caused consider
able excitement earlier in the week when
1t first broke under 10. Steel was the
strongest feature of the whole day but
in the afternoon 1t also yielded on
fairly large volume of transactions
Chief among the causes of the change
in market sentiment aside from the ex-
haustion Of the short interest was the
advance Of May wheat to S35 a bushel
and break in rubles to the new low
record price Of $50. This break in
rubles was accompanied with numerous
rumors of trouble in Russia, one of which
was TO the effect that a separate peace
was to be signed. This latter, however.
was officially denied in a dispatch from
Petrograd.
Wall street is much exercised over the
taxation program and what 1t calls the
bungling method of selling the big bond
issue.
Efforts are still being made to induce
Congress to let the tax on corporations
remain at its present rate Of s per cent
instead of putting It up to is per cent
as planned. The reason for this Is that
it is feared that the 16 per cent rate will
discourage manufacturers and reduce
dividends to such an extent that the re-
turn from income taxes will be reduced
more than the amount received from this
extra per cent.
While the market as a whole was dis
couraged today there was some good
buying of specialties.

The Washington herald., 1917-05-12

New York. May n.-Dun's weekly Re-
view Of Trade tomorrow will saw:
Movements In both domestic and for
eign business become more irregular as
further economic changes are effected
and pressure OF liquidation in securities
has continued though with comparatively
little accompanying unsettlement. The
tendency to proceed cautiously in en-
tering upon new engagements is now
more generally apparent and some inter
ests defer contemplated projects pending
the removal of existing uncertainties.
Agricultural prospects unfortunately
leave considerable 10 be desired and ae-
cumuiations OF merchandise result from
the restricting influence on retail and
tobbtng distribution Of the backward
weather and extreme prices.
Yet special causes are not needed 70
account for some abatement OF activity
after months of unprecedented buying
and regular transactions while less eN-
tensive than recently are stiIl in note
worthy volume. Large government ex-
penditures for military equipment impart
renewed stimulus 70 some branches of
business in about all sections and manu-
featuring facilities with few exceptions
are taxed to the utmost with demand
for lumber and other products exceeding
the available supply.
Maintenance OF industrial outputs is
rendered more dificult by the scarcity
OF raw materials and skilled labor and
ordinary requirements In a number Of
Instances cannot now be considered while
the continued delays in transportation
add to the uncertainty regarding deliy-
cries. Costs Of production in textiles are
further enhanced by additional wage in
creases and these changes tend 10 &C
centuate the strength Of the commodity
markets though they also augment the
purchasing power OF many consumers.
Special financial operations In coniunc-
tion with high prices influence bank
clearings and the total at leading out
side centers this week is 35.6 per cent
greater than last year when the figures
we're unequaled up to that period.
