SEES UPWARD
MARKET TREND
Selling to Cut Income Taxes
IsOver, Says Broadan
Wall.
By BROADAN WALL.

New York, Dec. 2l.-The revival that
has come i'm the stock market the
last few days gives hope of further
Improvement. Those who believe that
much of the recent selling has been
for the account of rich men who have
been recording losses for income tax
purposes must naturally take a hope
full view of the market now that such
selling has practically ended. 1t
would be just Us reasonable, however
10 suppose that wealthy bears are
now recording losses on the short
side of the market for the same rea-
son.
A few persons no doubt do record
losses in the market. but most Of this
recent selling has been done because
the people who had the stocks had
lost faith in them. Even the man
who might want to record losses for
tax purposes. would not sell unless he
believed he could get his securities
back lower for he knows taxes for
1870 will be just as heavy as for 1919.
There is no hope of any reduction of
income taxes for several years.
1t does seem to be the fact, how
ever. that most Of the bad news af-
fecting the market is fully discounted

derer. 1t is too late now to save these
people.
American business men are begin
ming to realize that Europe is really
bankrupt and We are not displaying
he proper sporting spirit-for a
sporting spirit is needed now to do
business with Europe in addition to
business enterprise.
Europe cannot pay and Americans
who sell goods abroad must take the
gambling chance of being reimbursed
only after a long term of years.
Our exporters have always followed
the niggardly policy of extending but
short credits. Even with perfectly
solvent customers we have refused to
give long term credits and now that
such credits are demanded for Gus
toners admittedly in the throes of
bankruptcy the American business
man is proving a poor sport.

DYE INDUSTRY
DOOMED BY war
Opening of Vast New De-

independence.

The European war and the emer-
gencies which it created was the
cause Of the disclosure OF hitherto
unsupported natural resources as well
as the revelation Of the possibility Of
securing In due time a sufficient
amount of potash to enable the Unit
ed States to be independent OF Ger
many and also certain material useful
in the manufacture OF dye-stuffs.
II Is officially reported that in the
Georgia research undertaken since the
war has demonstrated that the
swamp Is producing certain hitherto
neglected ores which are essential in
the manufacture of dyes and paints
The United States has always import
: ed from Germany the Identical ores
which science has now shown exist
in this great swamp. They will be
made available for the American dye
stun industry.
Stanley G. Arthur, of New Orleans.
has recently reported in a dispatch
to the Manufacturers Record that
the largest rock salt mining opera
tions-certainly on the American con-
tinent, possibly in the world-are
about to begin on Jefferson Island.
in Southern Louisiana. This report
tends to confirm the view taken by
the men Of science that the State
Of Louisiana and adjoining sections
in the State of Texas are rich to
an almost inconceivable degree in
certain natural resources which n
few years ago were unknown, al
most unsupported.
There Is a sentimental interest as
ISOLATED with this discovery and en-
terprise due to the fact that the de-
velopment is upon Jefferson Island.
That was the winter home of Joe
Jefferson. and it was named by him
Bob Acres" showing his sentiment
al interest in that part in The Ri
walls" which he played for so many
years. These salt deposits. both in
thickness and purity, surpass any
others in the United States. Near
Berlin is a salt deposit the depth
of which is known to be 500 feet,
hut it Is not pure. The Jefferson
deposit is a single mass Of salt, no
body knows how great. 1t is prac-
rticaIly 100 per cent pure. in that re-
ypect differing from almost all the
her great salt deposits of the

Anna May did not want to leave the camp, her mother says, and carried on in an unsuaI manner when her mother insisted on leaving. The mother and daughter then walked for about 20 miles, headed for Phoenix, when they met rancher named Robertson who gave them a lift in his
 machine. He told them that they could not carry supplies sufficient to | last them across the uninhabited coun- l try ahead. and advised them to go home with him. which they did. His mother and sister welcomed them to the ranch and the Robertson family on the following day gave them money sufficient for their train fare to Ph0e- | nix where they arrived about 1 o'clock

 Only One Clue
 The authorities have full descrip- tion of the man of the roadside camp and an attempt is to be made to To- | cate him along the highway. If he establishes an alibi, the authorities say. the quest for little Anna May is apt to have a futile aspect unless the interest and determination of the women's organizations stirs the coun- try into nation wide activity.
 Both Mrs. Heard and Miss Porter have announced that that they will use the far-reaching influence of their organiza tions to back up the resources of the regular departments of the law.
 Mrs. Hanley, according to her own statement. was taking her little girl to California in quest of a new home. Anna Mays father is dead, she says, and her second husband has left her. She gives the impression that her re- cent nervous breakdown was due to family troubles Anna May used the step-fathers name. There are two sons, full brothers of Anna May, one of whom has just gone to China with the Standord Oil service and the other is in army service at Fort Clark on the border.
 The soldier son was seen at Fort Clark by the mother and daughter during the walk across the continent. He wanted them to discontinue their for ranch to be managed by him. self and Anna May, but the mother was determined to continue on the trip and insisted that no harm could come.

 The commissioner says that the governorship would be real honor for any man. and that it would be nice to round out ones lifetime of activity by filling the chair, but that he has no intention of entering the lists.
