Hawaiian corporations, whose com
mon practise in the past has been to
invest all or part of their undistribut-
ed current net income, retained foe
employment In the reasonable re-
quirements of their business for the
ensuing year, in interest bearing Sc
curities, have remained In doubt this
year as to the feasibility of the 9ro-
cedure owing to the new war revenns
act which appeared to place an addi-
ton tax of 10 per cent upon such un,
distributed net income.
Hence many large corporations
fearful of the entanglements of in
vesting in securities which they fay-
ored in the past have either placed
their undiStuTbed net income in the
banks as cash or have purchased tax
exempt Liberty bonds. The present
condition of the New York stock mar
ket which has been generally bearish,
with a number of short rallies has al
SO frightened these corporations from
the current offerings.
Ruling Given
But the period of anxiety is over
now and this coming week should see
a heavy investment in short term se-
curities by local corporations who
have allowed their undistributed net
income to remain in cash.
Revenue Daniel c. Roper in Washin-
bond house, Commissioner of Internal
Revenue Daniel G. Roper in Washing
ton, d. c., has handed down favor
able ruling on the doubtful point
which clears the way for immediate
action
An additional tax of 10 per cent
upon undistributed net income Of cor
porations will not apply to such IN.
comes temporarily invested in secur
tiles if such income would not be sub
ject to such tax if retained in cash"
was the ruling of Commissioners
Roper
Misleading Idea
The reading of the revenue law
gave a great many individuals and
corporations the idea that the undis
tributed net income held for next
years business was taxable unless il
was retained in cash or machinery 81
merchandise or invested in Liberty
bonds.
Before this ruling was returned the
corporations feared to enter the
stock market for securities, owing to
its gradual decline But with the rul
ing has come a number of rallies in
high-grade investment stocks such as
rails, and public utilities, partially
caused by the increased buying fol-
lowing upon the ruling and partially
by the recent events on the Western
front.

SUGAR MARKET

SAN FRANCISCO, November 10
California beet sugar is, going into
the stronghold OF the cane sugar re.
fixing industry-New York City.
The reason is that New York has
no cane sugar to refine, and there
Will be no raw sugar there to refine
until the Cuban crop arrives, which
will not be before the latter part OF
December. The shortage of raw SUI
gar East has resulted in the refineries
closing down. The big HaVemeyer
refinery in New York City has closed,

ment.
War Rations .... -..
Sugar is being sold at retail stores
in New York City in from two to
five-pound quantities at 10 and IL
cents pound under the food admin
istration regulations. This is the
first war ration since the United
States declared war against Germany.
Housewives will be permitted to buy
only. once every ten days or two
weeks and then in only two, three
and one-half, or fiye-pound lots, de-
pending upon the size of their fam
lilies. ~.>-=.-... -. IT.
Hoover began his system of licen
sing the sugar refiners and dealers
on October l. Almost Immediately
thereafter the French people appeal
ed to the United States for sugar sup
plies, and very generously the Amer
lean supply was curtailed in order
to help our allies, whose supplies OF
sugar have been and are still fan
smaller than ours. .....
j Although the food administrator
cut down the consumption of sugar,
that appeal was not given much
heed. The result has been the deple.
ton of the sugar stocks of the Unit.
ed States and the complete disappear
ance of sugar reserves in this coun-
try.
Until the Cuban crop reaches the
American markets, the Fasteners
will experience the phenomena of
seeing the Western beet sugar com.
ing into their cane sugar markets.
This has not happened before in the
history of the country. Heretofore
the competition between cane sugar
from the East and the beet sugar
from the West has been a bone of
contention to the railroads. The rail-
roads have been forced to devise a
very careful schedule of rates on this.

lRx lick &. TAPE.l

ONE time ago when railroad stocks
reached new low levels and the
- outlook was very black lndeeu'
cutie a large number of Honolulu IN
vestors took advantage OF the oppor-
tunity to plunge into rails. Their WIS
dom and judgment has been proved
by the fact that during the past week
nine average railroad stocks have I'M
proved sufficiently to please at least
those who bought in at the bottom.
Several reason are attributed to the
ralIv in rails. First there is the Brit
ish offensive and then there is the
attitude of the interstate commerce
commission in regard to the rate case.
The Big Reason
Probably the last named reason,
more than anything else. has caused
the upward trend, and that it will
cause that upward trend to continue
is freely predicted by experts, A state
ment of the net earnings Of the rail-
roads of the United States was given
out recently by the interstate COM
merce commission, and that statement
will undoubtedly prove to be an argu'
ment in favor of the roads in their
appeal for Is per cent increase in
rates. The statement does not con-
tain much more than the bare figures
of the revenue and operating expenses,
but it shows an increase in the latter
item as compared with September,
1916, of $39,000,000.
According to the statement, the ag-
gregate net earnings of the country's
railroads during the month of Sep
TENDER, were slightly less. than for
the corresponding month last year
when railroad earnings were at their
highest point in history. Compiled by
the commissions statisticians. reports
from 173 roads show that only South |
ern lines recorded increases.
Figures Given 49, |
The net earnings for the 17S roads |
were $11O,SS0,310 as compared with
$117.503,474 last year. Operating rev.
enues were $347, ,272, or about $32,- |
100000 more than in 1916, and operat-
ing, expenses were $236,240,962, or
about $39, 100000 more than the same
month of last year. p /
For nine months ending with Sep
TENDER, net revenues showed a slight
decrease over the same period last
year, being $3.50, 153, 00S as compared
with 1872, 736, 331 in 1916.
Eastern railroads whose application 7
for higher rates is now pending be-
fore the commission, reported net rev.
enues during September of S43,S50,722i
as compared with 47,624,26 last year
Western roads which are taking steps
to re-enter the rate increase case, re,
ported net revenues of 50,607,503 as
compared with $50, 426,614 last year.
Attitude Changing
Belief that the attitude of the gov.
eminent towards the railroads is I'M
dergoing, or has undergone, radical
change as a result of war require.
ments, is rapidly gaining ground in

from present appearances Of the mar
ket 1t is advisable for an investors
to watch Developments closely. A re.
adjustment of the market = coming,
according TO the experts and the re-
cent Italian retreat and the British
gain are being viewed from two
angles. One view Is that it will hasten
the war to an end and the other that
1t will prolong it. The market IL re-
acting to both views and DESIGNATING
period of business readjustment
which had already been entered.
Market Uncertain
Another reason for corporations
and individuals to keep their funds
liquid IN short-term securities Is the
possibility Of developments from the
peace talk. The view is now gener-
ally held that instead of bearish
market peace would bring a buIlish
movement especially in rails and in.
yestment issues, because of heavy de-
clines and present low prices. There
Is no doubt that ON war brides SUCH
as munitions. copper, powder, steel,
aeroplane and auto trucks the market
would be exceedingly bearish in the
case OF peace. On the other hand
high-gra6e rails, public utilities, for
eign government bonds would prob.
ably reach higher levels In the up-.
ward swing that followed.
The Other View
Again II the peace talk is discount.
ed and the market settles for q Iong
war period drastic liquidation will Be
prohibited in any case. The action Of
the New York Stock Exchange in rul-
ing that all members must at noon
each day file complete returns in con.
nection with short sales is an indfca-
ton that wholesale short.selling and
huge crumblings are not to be countc.
nanced In the future. On other stock
exchanges such as Toronto, Montreal
and Pittsburg minimum prices have
already been established and this has
caused a feeling that the government
IN order to successfully float its loanz
will see to it that during such per
iods the market is stable and satisfac
tory.
1t Is even stated by some OF the
stock market experts that before
the government will allow the brok
ers to play fast and loose with the
market during such periods, il win
step in and see that All sales are for
cash, no time transactions are allow.

! reports relative to the probability Of
the roads being granted an increase

| When the interstate commerce com
mission concluded it's sitting in June
! it decided to allow further presen

! hearing was held in October when
! counsel for the Eastern roads asked
for a rehearing of the case in so days
/ when the roads promised to present
statement of net earnings and operat.
ing expenses. ....... p.
The commission instead of simply
granting the request suggested in a
letter that if the earnings, as alleged,
were inadequate to meet increased op.
Grating expenses, a delay of so days
in beginning the hearing would be in.
advisable and asked that the evidence
be submitted at once. The hearing
opened on November, 5 and since that
time the apparently favorable attitude
of the commission had fostered the
belief that the appeal will be success
full.
Other Reasons
The increase in freight rates if
granted will have a Strengthening eff
feet on the railroad stock market and
will no doubt sustain the present up
ward movement. The longer the hear
ing continues the more confident Of
success the railroads will become, and
the market will transcribe that feel
ing into a bullish sentiment.
The second reason for the swing in
rails is the British offensive. The
gains made IN the French front inn
proved the tone of the market gen
orally and rails in particular.
Another reason which may be ascrib-
ed for the turn in rails is the present
peace talk. Experts hold that peace
would bring a big bull movement in
public utilities, rails and other solid
6 acurities, and the more peace talk
thatr occurs now the better the tone
of the rails market.

FINANCIAL NOTES
Board Steps In

Board Steps In
The War Trade Board has ascer'
tanned that exporters in the United
States are in many cases seeking to
take advantage of the regulation per-
hitting the expectation of 2 barrels
of sugar or less to any single ship
ment without requiring individual
licenses. 1t has been known for some
time that a few exporters were doing
this, and it was thought that this
might be prevented by calling the at
tention of these exporters to the fact
that they were making themselves
amendable to the law. The practise
has not been discontinued, and, there
fore, until otherwise ordered by the
board, no shipments OF sugar, except
those destined to Canada and New
foundland, will be allowed to leave
the country without specific export
license for each shipment.
