Steel Makers Not i'm Favor
Of Price Stabilizing Plan

Steel producers are not in favor Of
the scheme proposed by Secretary. OF
Commerce Redfeld to stabilize" prices
on a lower plane, according to ~ ne
Iron Age" This authority states that
it is more than the matter of prices
which is holding business back. The
opinion of leading steel manufacturers
is that the industry should be allowed
to work out its problems in natural
way.
Demands for mill products have been
larger than is generally known. Many
mills are working on new bookings
which will keep them busy for the next
six or eight weeks, but the mills which
manufacture railroad material are find
ing orders scarce. While the stocks
are low, heavy buying is not expected
in the immediate future by dealers
There is general tendency to await
further progress IN the readjustmen'
programme before placing orders.

Better Fabrics Going
Into Women's Apparel

There is distinct trend among man
ufacturers of women's coats and suits
to use better fabrics in their products
1t is said the increasing cost of labor
in the industry makes it less profit
able to turn out cheap merchandise.
This, in addition to the fact that the
women of the country are buying bet
ter clothing than ever before is lead
ing the apparel manufacturers to pro-
duce better garments, which, Of course,
are higher priced.
Perhaps it was the war which taught
women the economy Of buying good
clothes made of reliable fabrics" said
a prominent coat and suit manufacture
erer yesterday. "At any rate, there
is q noticeable increase in the demand
for good garments in this market.
am going to buy the best fabrics can
find in the future, regardless of price,
and l know many other manufacturers
will do the same"

handkerchief Supply Short
Strike in New Jersey Factories
Is Curtailing Output

If the strike in the New Jersey cot
ton handkerchief factories continues
Tor three or four weeks there will be
distinct shortage in the market. 1t
IS estimated that the supply is bein,,
shortened by at least million dozen
nandkerchlefs per week, which is abous
the normal production of the factories
now on strike.
With the retailers pursuing the pol.
icy Of buying only for immediate needs,
a continued strike will send up the
Price, which has dropped approximately
25 per cent since the cessation of hos
tilities.

Question: If in several accounts at
Stock Exchange houses two show small
profits on purchases and sales of Sc
curlties of, say, 81 200 in each case,
while the others show losses of $1,000
TO $4,000, the net result being losses
of $4,000 to $4,000 on the years opera
ton, is an income tax return REQUIRED
there being no other source of income
to the writer?
A house and land assessed and val
ued at $1,000 was foreclosed and sold
on mortgage of $4,000. of which $500
was paid in 1917 and 1918; is this a
proper exemption?
Is uncollected and uncollectible rent
coming to $500 for years 1917 and 1918
on same property, attorneys having
realized only $50 or $40, a proper de-
duction for 1918 returns?
Answer: Since your losses incurred
on stock transactions exceed your
gains you are not subject to income
tax and need not file return, pro-
vided you have received no other tax
able income during the year.
Losses sustained through mort
gage foreclosure on real estate are
proper deductions.
UncOllectible rent is not proper
deduction unless such rent has been
included in 4 prior return based on
DOCKS kept on an accrual basis.
