Industrial leaders have spoken with
such interest of this successful es-
tablishment in the United States for
the manufacture of commodity
which has a world wide market. be-
cause it is presumed that it may lead
speedily to the coming to the United
States of other English manufacturers
for the purpose of establishing plants
here. For it IS now learned that
american machinery can be readily
adapted to English manufacturing
purposes, and can be operated for
twenty-fOur hours every day. there
being no limit on production or any
limit of time each day in which labor
is employed.
The economy makes it possible to
pay high wages and yet also to secure

STOCK REBOUND
RALLIES PRICES
Income Tax Dodgers Lose
Money By Forcing De-
preston.
by BRoADAN WALL.

New York, Dec. 3l.-Stocks rebound
ed with a mighty upturn today from
the depression caused by selling to es-
tablish losses for the purpose of in
come tax returns. Many of the patri-
ots who had sought to evade the
payment of taxes lost in the rebound
many times the taxes they saved by
selling their stock. The day closed
with thousands of tax sales still un-
covered so that the market is in as
strong technical condition as though
there was a large short interest out
standing.
Although practically every class OF
security participated in the strength
of today the upturn was particularly
noted In the oil stocks and in the
preferred stocks usually purchased
only for investment. 1t was in these
preferred stocks that the investors
seeking to evade taxes suffered the
most for they had not counted or
such a narrow market. For several
days the prices of such investment
shares have been breaking badly as
tax evaders offered them down. The
advances were equally sharp but
where selling continued there wer,
also declines. For instance, Pan
Handle broke four points on the sale
of 200 shares. U. S. Realty and I'm
provement broke four on 100 shares
Snuff preferred went down two anC
one-eighth and North American dowr
three. On the other hand advances oi
two points or more were common.
Cash Sales Help Market.
There was some selling for cash be.
cause sales made in the usual way
could not be counted in 1915 as they
would not be completed until Thurs,
day. In order to make the entire
transaction come in the year 1918, sales
for cash were made and in some
such cases the vendors were com.
