Reorganization of
Du Point Interests
Off Indefinitely
Internal Revenue Depart
ment Refuses to Commit
Itself About Income Tax
on Exchange of Shares

Pierre S. du Pont, chairman of the
+. |. du Pont de Nemours & Co., has
announced that the proposed plan for n
reorganization of the du Pont inter
ests through the formation of the du
Pont Securities Company and the cx
change of it's shares for shares of
common stock for the present company
is now imperative. Unwillingness of
the Internal Revenue Department to
give binding assurance that there would
be no taxable income resulting from
the exchange of stock caused the &C.
ton of the directors.
Prior to the adoption of this plan,"
Mr.. du Pont says in letter on the
subject to ckholders, "the law was
carefully examined and the conclusion
reached that there could be no taxable
income resulting from the exchange of
stock under this plan. The matter was
then taken up with the Internal Reve-
nue. Department and it's informal as
surance secured, to the effect that our
conclusions were sound. We were
further led to believe that this informal
assurance would be confirmed by the
commissioners in writing, and with
this understanding stockholders hold
ing majority of the common stock Of
f. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., in
Guiding all of the directors, agreed to
exchange their shares. Since then it
has proven impossible to get salts
factory formal assurance in writing
from the Internal Revenue Department,
and continuous efforts in this direction
have resulted in grave uncertainty as
to the attitude which may be assumed
by taxing authorities. The matter
hangs upon what the Internal Revenue
Department holds to be difficult IN
depreciation of certain sections of the
law, which Interpretation is deemed be-
yond the sphere of the department Off
Gals and must be determined by court
decisions.
"Under the circumstances the d.
rectors of your company have declared
the whole plan imperative for the
time being at least, and until such time
in the future as sufficiently definite de-
cisions as to the meaning of the Fed
eral tax laws and their Interpretation
in so far as they effect this transaction
are available"
Many stockhold had already made
the exchange and must now convert the
new stock back into the old.

The News of Business
Buying Squirt Lifts
Prices for Gray Goods

The cotton goods market, usually de-
void of activity on Saturday, was I'M
expectedly enivened for brief period
yesterday by sudden firmness which
developed in sales of gray goods in
second hands. Stocks of this mercnan-
disc have latelv been offered by spec
ulators for prices as low as Is cents a
yard, with few buyers at that figure
Yesterday morning owners Of 64-60s
would not consider bids under 1513
cents yard and were disposed to ask
even higher prices. 1t was felt in
many quarters that the low level on
gray goods of this type has been
reached and higher quotations are
looked for on Monday. There were
limited stocks of 60-4Ss sold at 131a
cents yard, which is slightly higher
than Fridays prices.
Manufacturers of rubber products
were in the market at the close Of
the week purchasing wide drills and
enamei ducks for delivery through the
first six months Of next year. Scarcity
of drills has raised quotati ons to an
unusually high figures, and those stocks
available were quickly taken at an av-
cragc price Of 80 cents pound. Enam-
ell duck brought about 80 cents a pound.
Several mills received bids for per-
Gale from jobbers but quotations of
from 20 to 30 cents yard was looked
upon as too high, and sales were limit
ed to small quantities.
Retail merchants from the South,
who were in the market Friday and
Saturday, reported their business dur
ing the summer months as being equal
to that of the former fall season. The
marketing of the cotton crop in the
Southern states is responsible for the
comparative increase in the volume Of
business during the fall, and jobbers
and manufacturers look upon the re-
ports of July and August demands
from the retailer as indicating a huge
sale of cotton goods the coming season.

Investigation Welcomed by
Associated Dress Industries

Investigations in the dress manu-
featuring trade in connection with the
governments war on profteers will be
welcomed by producers of women's,
children's and misses dresses, said a
statement issued yesterday by the AS
ISOLATED Dress Industries Of America.
The statement says that the dress
manufacturers are making a smaller
percentage of profit now than ever be-
fore.
"No profiteering charge" says the
statement, "can be made against the
manufacturers of dresses. The reason
why prices are higher to-day than they
were a year ago is because of the in
creased cost of raw materials. 1t must
also be borne in mind that the work
crs in all the dress factories have re
ceived substantial wage increases. and
this represents another important item
in the cost of manufacturing dresses"

The cotton market broke rather sharn,v
yesterday under selling which appeared to
come chiefly from Liverpool and Southern
sources. October contracts oascd off from
aloo to 800, and closed at 3oG5, with the
general market closing at a net decline Of
% to "a points
On the whole. the support seemed to
consist chiefly of buying to cover recent
short sales. The market was influenced
to some extent by reports Of further de-
cline in foreign exchange.
There seemed to be nothing in the
wealth and crop news to attract mar
ucular attention, although there was
some comment on the higher temporal ures
reported in the Southwest

Dollar in Foreign Exchange

The delay in the working out by
American interests Of a comprehensive
plan for financing European purchases
in this country is expressing itself in
the foreign exchange market in the
continued weakness Of European rates.
Toward the close of the week sterling
exchange dropped more than 5 cents
in two days, reaching within a fraction
of the new low record attained in
July.
Great volumes of sterling bills
against cotton and foodstuffs and to
some extent manufactured goods
hooded the market, and buying support
was tar from adequate to make the mar
ket stable. The British Treasury is will
ing to penaize those who make neccs~
sary purchases of cotton and foodstuffs
to discourage British buyers of non
ESSENTIALS IN this country by permitting
the sterling market to recede unaidcd
by government support
French and Belgium francs and tho
lire also continued to move in favor Of
New York. If the soaring of the dol
lar to new premiums continues Amer
lca Will be the most Instantaneous
country for European countries to buy
goods m That is why exporters are
beginning to take greater interest in
the question Of financing Europe. Great
speculation in marks continues. ana
gives the market the only support it
has.
If you calculate the cost of the dol
lar in terms of foreign money at cur
rent exchange value-that is, if you
were buying dollars with pounds,
marks or francs-its value at the close
of last week, as compared with a wear
ago, would be about as follows:

The weekly statement of the Federal

Capital Traction GiveS
Trainn1en Pay Boost of
Three Cents Per Hour

President Hamilton. OF the Capital
Traction Company. today made this
brief announcement:
'1be Capital Traction Company, IN
response to the request Of its en-
pacyes for some increase in wages 20
meet the increased high cost Of liv-
ing. has granted an increase Of 3
cents per hour to trainmen, with a
corresponding increase to other em-
ployes, effective October /, 1919"
Officials Of the road said that this
would mean q yearly increase in
wages Of about S1OO,0 600. and that the
company hoped to bear this.
The action is the result Of a re-
quest Of Amalgamated Union en-
ployes, a few days ago, for increases.
The company has q contract with the
union, good until March so next and
was not compelled to make an in
crease.
The trainmen are now paid from
IS cents TO As cents an hour. The
older men will thus receive 81 cents
