 Mir. Rainey declared the senate measure was a rich mans bill and that the house would stand pat on a de- mand that the burden be transferred from the shoulders of the poor.
 The Lenroot amendment. greatly in creasing taxes on incomes above s40.- 900. adopted by the house hut stricken out by the senate committee. IS almost certain to be restored. MT. Raiuey be- lieVeS

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET DULL, IRREGULAR. There Was an Absence of Public Par
 ticipation in the Dealings.

New York, July 3-In its essential features today's stock market was al most a repitition of recent dull and ir- regular sessions. Business was much curtained because of the impending holiday and the continued absence of public participation.
 Money conditions were actually con- ducive to speculation for the bull ac- count, but trading is that quarter was checked by increasing perpleXities re- specting war profits and taxes. Call loans were in free supply at 3 1-2 per cent. and time money was more abun- dant than at any period in the past three weeks.
 Bears continued their attacks upon the mercurial issues. chiefly motors, some of the lesser equipments and mi nor speciaIties, Studebaker, showing an extreme loss of about six points and others of the same division yielding two to four.
 Rails also experienced additional price attrition, few of the dividend issues recording lowest quotations for t>d briskly in the covering movement of the final hour, St. Paul making ma terial recovery from yesterdays se- were loss. Canadian Pacific, Union Pa cif1c, Great Northern and Reading were equally responsive to fair support.
 Pronounced -betterment was also shown by coppers, oils, tobaccos and certain high priced specialties under professional control Industrial Al cohol Ohio Gas, Mexican Petroleum and American Sumatra Tobacco fin ished at gains of to points.
 United States Steel and kindred shares were depressed during the greater part of the day but hardened later on the strength of allied equip ment. Virtually all the activity oc- cured in the first hour, the balance of the session being characterized by ex- tre-ne apathy. Total sales amounted to $40, 900 shares.
 The strength of Swiss exchange fea- tured the market for foreign remit ances, rubles holding at the minimum recorded yesterday. Railroad bonds were heavy, internationals irregular and lbertys firm at par to 100 $50. Total sales (par value) were S2.54o,000
