There was nothing really surpris-
ing in yesterdays decline on the
Stock Exchange. For a week or
more the market has been almost
wholly in the hands of the profess
sional element, and many traders
had bought stocks heavily on the
assumption that prices, az has been
frequently asserted, would soon get
up to the recen. tops. But the days
developments made it seem i'm
probable that this expectation would
be realized, and so there was more
or less of a rush to get out from
under. The selling movement was
general, and the result was that
every active stock in the list lost
ground. AT the close Steel common
was 91a points below the years
high, made less than two weeks ago.
Baldwin Locomotive, in which spec
ulation has been carried to absurd
lengths, lost as much in the single
session, and is now 20 points under
the recent high. Other issues fol-
lowed the same course, even the
rails, which were favored by the
announcement of heavy increases in
freight and passenger rates.
Undoubtedly the war news, in
dicating as it did that the much
heralded German drive against the
West front had been launched. was
partly responsible for the decline;
but judging from opinion around
the Street this was a much less i'm
portant factor than the Presidents
tax address. Wall Street is con-
vinced that the drive will fail, and
therefore is less concerned than it
was when the first drive was started.
But with the matter of taxes it was
different. No one was surprised by
the Presidents attitude, but the ad-
dress banished all hope of postpone
ment of the inevitable. The uncer-
tainties attending the enactment of
new tax legislation must be faced
in the immediate future instead of
next December. So far as intrinsic
values are concerned, it makes little
difference whether the new legisla-
tion be enacted at this session or the
next, but stock traders do not look
six months ahead. They are con-
cerned more with what is likely to
happen tomorrow. And the pros
pect of the painful development of a
new tax programme in the near
future will tend to restrict trading
and perhaps make for a reactionary
market for the time being. That is
why traders sold stocks yesterday.

Baldwin OF sA Points

Just as the rise in Baldwin Locomo-
tive to above par was the sensation of
the recent upward swing in the stock
market an abrupt break of 91z points
was the feature of yesterdays session.
In commission houses it was also re-
ported that numerous stop loss orders
were met, which served to hasten the
decline. Baldwin closed yesterday at
811a, more than 20 points below the
months high price.

St. Paul Meeting Tomorrow

On account of the holiday Thursday
directors of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and St. Paul Railway will hold their
regular monthly meeting tomorrow. A
report was current in the financial dis
trict yesterday that action will be
taken on the preferred dividend which
has been deferred since January 81
No one seemed to have clear idea as
to what distribution might be decided
upon, but the guesses ranged from 21s
to 31a per cent. In the current discus
sion no one has mentioned the posi-
billty of the declaration of a dividend
on the common stock. The last semi
annual disbursement on the preferred
was at the cate of per cent.

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Exchange on Italy displayed pro-
nounced weakness yesterday when the
rate fell to 9.141a lire to the dollar, a
new low record Offerings of lire bills
were large, with the Italian banks
heavy sellers.
Neutral exchanges displayed firmer
tone, with Swiss, Dutch and Spanish
rates slightly higher at the close.
Rates on London and Paris were
steady.
Closing rates yesterday, compared
with week ago, follow:
New-York tribune., 1918-05-28

The above rates express the cost of
foreign money in terms Of the Ameri-
can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling at, say, $4.75as. The intrinsic
parity is $4.S6ss per pound. Thus YOU
say either that pounds are at dis
count or that dollars are at premium,
winch is owing to the fact that in Eng
land the demand for dollars with which
to settle accounts in this country is
greater than the demand in this coun-
try for pounds with which to settle ac-
counts in England.

our Partners in Joys and Sorrows.

"It is good phrase we have
for describing women, partners of

how it may be with other men, but it
is thus with me: In the regular rou-
tine of life, when nothing much is
happening, when the days go by one
after the other filed with their monot-
onous rounds Of duties, can, if neces-
sary. exist for long periods without
the company of women. In such days
and weeks they are sometimes, to be
sure, a pleasing distraction; but they
are not food and drink and shelter.
1 can, if need be, survive. But let sue
cess break through the monotony of
the daily grind, and 1 must have
woman to share it; half it's sweetness
is lost otherwise. And failure without
their God-glven chatter and unquench-
able optimism is utterly intolerable. /

1t will be observed thar the average

pointed out that the opportunities for

growing country, giving the idea that
that was what it was mostly adapted
to, it will be realized that there is
there vast storehouse of wealth
awaiting those who choose to take ad-

SUPREME COURT UPHOLD
GA. INHERITANCE LAW

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. H.-Georgia's in
heritance tax law is not unconstitu-
tional, at least upon any of the
grounds set up in this particular case.
according to a decision just handed
down by the supreme court in litiga-
ton coming up from Doughertv
county, the supreme court holding
that the law imposes tax upon the
transfer OF property and not upon
the property itself
In 1917 the state Of Georgia col
lccted a total Of 243,87l from inheri-
lance taxes, which was equal to the
tax on $48774,294 worth of Georgia
farm land. The inheritance tax law
and the tax equalization law were
enacted as companion measures dur
ing the administration OF Governor
Slaton. An effort has been made at
almost every succeeding session to
repeal the equalization law, which
forces property owners to pay their
just proportion of the cost of gov
eminent, but no attack has ever been
made on the inheritance tax law.

Ia meager coal supply. was re-
sronsibIe for the investigation held
by the State Council of Defense, is

pie in all walks of life. and while the
Council did not support his charge
that the coal dealers and the railroads
were acting in collision to create an
ARTIFICIAL shortage every time the
weather got cold, at the same time
Atlanta's supply, such as it is, now
flows more freely and more uniform
ly, and with noticeably less connect
ION with the movement of the mer-
curry, than it did before
The State Council of Defense prac-
t1cally took the distribution of Allan
ta's coal supply in its own hands. by
the simple expedient of mapping out
a plan which the local Fuel Admins
traitor was to follow, and giving him
to understand that unless he followed
1t, the governor would act in a pre-
mptory manner. The Council also
mapped out program which DR.. l..

FOOD ADMINISTRATION
STOPS BIG SALE OF SUGAR

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. l8.-An Atlanta
grocery store bought a very large
quantity OF sugar and advertised to
sell the same at 10 cents pound in
l0-pound sacks to customers who
would come and take it home and
pay spot cash.
The office Of the Federal Food Ad-
ministration, in charge Of Major d.
+. McClatchcy, sent an agent to
wait on the groceryman and inform
him that if he sold ten pounds to a
customer his license would be re-
voked. The groceryman went
straight up in the air. He explained
that his sugar was sacked in 10-pound
cotton bags, ready for the trade.
This made no difference. Ten pounds
Of sugar to a customer, considering
the general scarcity of sugar, was
too much, the same as two tons OF
coal to family would be too much
on the coal card system. The gro
ceryman suggested that he could dis
pose Of the sugar to other dealers
who could split it up into small lots,
saving him the trouble Of rc-sacking.
This was not agreeable, because 1t
would mean the addition Of a profit
by the groccryman who bought it
Finally the groceryman drummcd UP
enough trade among hotels and res
taurants to take his entire supply oI
! 10-pound bags, and the Food Ad
mnistration consented to this ar
rangcmcnt because hotels and res
taurants are allowed to buy largt>
quantities of sugar than single fam
lilies.
This is an example of the sort o
work the Food Administration is do
ing, not only here but throughout thu
state, to protect the public and t.
conserve the supply Not only mus
the prices be kept in bounds but thu
supply must be evenly distributed, o
