REVENUE EXPERTS WILL

Otherwise exten0sd. must be in the

The contention is entirely wrong and
may get many in trouble if they fail
to make their proper returns
The Treasury Department has given
explicit rulings on the matter Of gross

Gross income means the total of
gains. profits and income for calendar
or fiscal year as the case may be.
Net income is the difference between
the total gross income and the aggre-
gate of allowances and deductions
therefrom provided by the statutes.
Each of these deductions in reaching
the net income must be provided for ny

expenditures and they must pass IN

interpreted by experts who viii finally

turn.
There are probably hundreds OF just
such cases in the District. and the
sooner they get the proper forms and
file their returns the better for them.

COTTON MARKETS.


NEW YORK, March 2S.-Reports of
rain or better prospects for rains in the
southwest caused some scattered SELL
ing in the cotton market during today's
early trading. The opening was steady
at a decline of l to 8 points and the
active months sold about IL to. 16 points
net lower after the call, with July
touching 31.90 and october 30s0. One
of the leading spot houses was a good
buyer of new crop months at the de-
cline. however. while there was cover

July, 1894; october, 3o.s2; December.

The prospects for rains in the south
west were strengthened by the official
forecast. but failed to bring any mate
rial pressure against prices, and the
market continued very steady late in
the morning. Favorable war news and
the continued bullish average of spot
advices, as well as trade buying, served
to promote scattered covering. which
sent active months about to points
net higher. with July selling at 32.11

BeeIer'a Work Absorbed.
The Public Utilities Commission
finds that the good work done by
John A Beeler, consulting engineer,
has been absorbed by the increasing
demands upon the roads to carry more
people. The remaining plans Beeler
has in mind will help just a little
more, and then the end il reached so
far as he can go in remodeling opera
ting arrangement
Beeler pins faith in his proposed
belt line loop for relieving the con-
gestion on Fourteenth street and other
lines in conveying $4,000 people to the
Potomac Park region, but the army
and navy engineers who are working
on this problem are not in agreement
with Mr.. Beeler. They will not sane
ton the proposition of a car line being
built on street, from Ninth to Eight
zenith. They have other ideas which
are not considered practical. ana
which Mr.. Beeler believes would really
add 10 the congestion on lines ALREADY
crowded to the limit.
The Utilities Commission approves
the BeeIer plan. at least to the ex-
tent of constructing a line along B
street from Ninth to Eighteenth, al
lowing cars from Seventh and Ninth
streets to run into Potomac Park

A rerouting OF Washington rail-
way and electric cars is expected to
improve things on that line, Mr.. Beel-
.er. having nearly completed his plans.
