The Markets
HIGHER PRICES
IN CORN MARKET

Chicago, Feb. 21.-New restrictions
on grain trading had but little effect
today as hindrance to higher pric-
es. Evidence of the virtual exhaus-
tion OF flour stocks did a good deal
to counter balance bearish sentiment.
Offerings OF corn were light. After
opening " c higher at $1.27 May, the
market reacted a trifle, and then
scored slight additional gains.
Notwithstanding that oats showed
declines at the outset, weakness
proved to be only transient. Acting
of the exchange directors in putting
a limit on advances allowed in any
one day was chiefly responsible for
the initial setbacks. On the other
hand rural consignment notices were
meager. Opening prices, which ranged
from X to q C lower, with May SSh
to SSH, were followed by a rise to
well above yesterdays latest figures.
Provisions assembled with grain. At
first. however, the market temporar-
lily reflected decline in hog prices.
The days range of prices follows:

Lafayette Trust in Court
Compromise Settlement |,
Proposed

Justice Callaghan in the Supreme g
Court in Brooklyn yesterday reserved
decision on a petition for an order
granting permission to the State Bank
ing Department or George 1. Skinner,
Superintendent of Banks, to accept a
compromise of rs per cent in cash of
the stockholders liabilities of the La
fayette Trust Company.
The petition was made by the
stockholders who own 1898 of the 5000
shares of the company, the capital
stock Of which is 100000. The State
Superintendent Of Banks took posses
sion of the trust company in 1908 to
llquidate its affairs. In 1911, in an
action by the state to enforce liability
of the stockholders, Justice Benedict in
the Brooklyn Supreme Court found
judgment in favor Of the plaintiff.
Since that time 55 per cent of the
liabilities, or $632,63 and nearly S400,-
600 accrued interest have been paid
and the proposed clearance of rs per
cent of the remainder would mean an
additional payment of 100000.
Samuel S. Koenig, re presenting the
State Superintendent Of Banks, indi-
Gated that such settlement would
be favored by the state. Some of the
petitioning stockholders are: August
C. Scharmann, with 800 shares of the
capital stock; Herman B. Scharmann.
400 shares; Herman T. Scharmann. 290
shares; Arthur j. O'Keefe, 10 shares.

Until definite tax programme
has been decided on it will be i'm
possible to tell how individual issues
are likely to be affected. 1t is prac-
tically certain that many corpora
tons could pay much larger taxes
and still have satisfactory dividend
balances. Others, however, will not
fare so well, particularly some of
those concerns which are struggling
with constantly increasing costs of
operation-especially labor costs
while selling their products at fixed
prices. Corporations in this class
are in position comparable with
that of the public utilities. Earn
lngs are strictly limited, while there
is no limit to expenses. Wages must
be increased to hold working forces
together-and the margin of profits
shrinks. Materials essential to pro-
duction mount steadily in price-and
the margin shrinks still moro.
When tax rates are increased and
the tax collector has taken his
larger toll, the balance for the share
holders of such companies is likely
to be small in comparison with the
distorted profits to which we have
become accustomed in the riot of
war prosperity. The uncontrolled
industries will not suffer so much.
since they can pass part of the bur-
den on to the consumer, but their
profits will also be relatively modest.
In any event there will be little
objection to any tax that Congress
may impose, no matter how large, if
only it is levied equitably. The wide
spread protest against the legisla-
tion enacted last summer was
directed not against the tax itself.
but against the obvious injustices
i'll the methods Of levying it.
