ket was decidedly better. Although
considerable pressure was noticeable in
the early trading, the demand was
broader and prices for the more active
securities advanced irregularly thru
out the day. The ruling of the treasury
department, iD regard to the mode Of
listing securities for the income tax
schedule, whereby it Is permissible to
figure on the basis either OF cost or
present market value. has had salu-
tAry effect. Whether or not this will
be permitted as applying. to individuals
Is not yet ascertained. but at least it
has checked selling from banking and
brokerage house sources. The list full
of bargains and only sustained con-
fidence Is needed to cause u material
