The day began with the chimes
at 8 o'clock of the Apostolic
Church. close by; then a maid
entered my bedroom with hot
water and half an hour later,
brought up my breakfast: "por-
ridge" (oatmeaD, broiled had
dock, bread, butter, marmalade
and tea; then the sun shone out,
not the blazing orb we know in
N. c., but a mild and gentle sun,
smiling instead of glaring down.
Then we Jared forth per bus,
through crowded, squirming
streets, past green shadowy
squares, across circles and cir
cuses (they seem to be the same
thing here) until we alighted at
Hyde Park gates and settled our
selves to enjoy the morning
horseback parade of the nobility
on Rotten Row. The English
style differs from the American.
In our ignorant, barbarous way
we admire a light, firm seat in
the saddle with no motion on the
riders part except forward; not
so the English. Lords and Ladies
both bounce" fearfully and you
can hear a rider almost before
you can see him Tor herr "Whopl
whop! Whop!" One lady found
difficulty in coming down to the
same spot from which she went
up and the last | saw of her she
was on the crupper going S. E.,
while her horse was rapidly ad'
vancing N. w.
The riding costumes were cor
rect to the last detail; most Of
the ladies rode cross-saddle, tho
there were some on side-saddles
with double horns. There was
one striking party of three ole
men, white-headed, bent with
age, toothless and red-eyed, vel
dressed like young dandies ane
mounted in fine horses. Anoth
er old buck had a mustache witt
fierce, waxed ends and a monocle
in his eye. 1t is good to see beau
tiful horses again, shining like
satin and well-gaited. A little
lordling passed by sitting straight
on his trotting pony, a groom
close beside him on a handsome
horse. Of course it is no fun t
parade unless you have someone
to watch you, and vice versa, 81

Quick Trade Recovery

The subnormal purchasing activities
OF the pubic and the spreading un-
employment, which is furthering this
trend. form the principal elements
fa7oring q quick recovery IN business,
Roger H. Williams, vice-president OF
the National Bank of Commerce in New
York. last night told the eighth annual
meeting of the Converters' Association
At the Biltmore Hotel. He suggested
th.. remedies lie in dispelling the feel
ers that some business men are still de-
nanding 100 much for their wares and
IN demonstrating that goods are being
produced at the least possible cost
compatible with the prices OF material
and labor
4 further Ill effect of the public's
sbstention from normal buying, he
added. IS the possibility Of a secondary
saortage os goods and consequently
higher prices resulting from too
great stagration in production and
distribution Another important factor
In the present situation, in his opinion,
;s the growing unemployment and
lowered wages, not only already de-
creasing purchasing power, but Great
IN a fear on the part Of many more
shat their buying power may be dras-
.scaly reduced.
1T will materially aid the orderly
readjustment now unter way" he said

Results Of the first days auction OF

Of the cloths purchased at the auction
will be held for manufacturing into
garments in March and April, to be
Shipped IN July and August.
The highest price bid for any goods
yesterday was $3.50 for fine kersey,
which opened year ago at SSO7ia
cents a yard. This gives some idea of
the steep decline that prices have
taken IN the past year, as the price
paid was considered good by most of
those attending the sale. Plaid back
overcoatings also sold we'll, bringing
around So yard. Some traders at
me sac stated that they had had diff
hculty in selling similar goods at 50 so
snd SIS a yard. MackinLws and the
other lower grade materials sold
around 65 cents to s1.05 yard.
Most Of the buying was confined to
the iobbing fraternity. Few Of the
larger iobbers and manufacturers were
among the bidders. Most of the we'll
known jo5bers in town, however, at
tended the sale, principally to get a
line on the value of tne;r own stocks.
One large clothing manufacturer
stated that the lots of goods were too
small for large organization 10 han
die, and that personally he preferred to
buy goods in the regular manner al
though he might have TO pay more fnr
them than the prices ruling at the
suction.
An official OF the American Woolen
Company said that the auction prices
would have no effect IN determining
the prices that the company would put
on overcoatings for next fall when
they are offered the traie in the regu-

Credit Men Plead for
Repeal of Profits Tax

WASHINGTON, Dec. l4.-Represent-
ing the National Association of Credit
Men, numbering 33, 900 business firms
throughout the country, Roy G. Elliott.
chairman Of the organizations tax
committee, yesterday recommended the
repeal of the excess profits tax to the
Ions resslonal Committee on Ways and
Mean Mr.. Elliott also suggested that
some means be devised to relieve saved
income from the burden Of taxation.
Mr.. Elliott summed up the objections
to the excess profits tax as follows:
1T discriminates against business Of
hazardous character and in favor Of
business of stable character by de-
fining the profits above per cent as
excess profits.
ut discriminates against conscrva-
lively organized and capitalized bust
ness in favor of business loosely capi-
talized.
1T discriminates between corpora
tions on the one hand and partnerships
and individuals on the other hand by
virtue of its being a tax on cor
porations only.
stockholder, whom it penalties severe
ly in violation of the ability to pay,
by virtue of its being q tax on cor
porations as SUCH
t. To equalize taxes. if the excess
| profits tax is removed, Mr. Elliott sug-
ees-ed the total exemption from in
come tax Of all saved income, the plac-
ing Of compensating tax on the un-
distributed corporate earnings. or a
combination Of these two methods.
The present higher brackets of the
individual income tax" he said. "un-
questionably are defeating their own
ends DR.. Adams has stated that the
number of taxpayers enjoying taxable
incomes of more than 100000 a year
had decreased by more than so per
cent, and the taxable income involved
in the group had decreased more than
66 per cent, which shows that the
higher brackets Of the personal income
tax are rapidly becoming unpro-
ductive.
"Probably the solution should be the
reduction of the higher brackets of the
surtax. That will reduce the burden
Of tax on the saved income of the part
ner and the sole trader; then place &
tax on the saved income Of the corpo-
rate shareholder at gradAated rates
which will as nearly possible equal
ize with the individual surtaxes.

Denies Stores WiIL
Close in January

Contrary to rumors in financial
and business circles, retail stores
here are doing good Christmas
business, according to H. A. Saks,
OF Saks & Co., president of the
Retail Dry Goods Association, of
New York.
"Christmas business" he said
yesterday, "is spotty. 1t always
is, but on the whole merchants are
we'll satisfied. Last Saturday was
an exceptionally big day, one of
the best retailers have had in
years. In our store we did a ca
pacity business, and other stores
apparently did the same.
specifically, rumors that stores
or groups of stores intended clos
ing on January l or January II
for an indefinite period, to reopen
on a lower wage scale, are too
ldiotlc for comment. I understand
such rumors have been spread
broadcast, for what reason | can
not surmise. won't predict that
every store in town will continue
through January. Failures are
likely to happen at any time, but
they are a remote possibility now,
as all the large stores are in ex-
cellent shape financially, l be-
lieve.'
Secretary Trenholm Of the Re-
tail Dry Goods Association also
authorized a denial of the rumor.
