DOUBLING THE STOCK TAX.

The high cost of stock specula-
tion stands to go higher IL the bill
reported in the assembly at Albany
by the tax committee. amending the
tax law by increasing from 2 to 4
cents per hundred shares the tax on
transfers of stock Is passed.
The proposal to increase the tax
on stock transfers" said Wall
Street man yesterday. els a positive
step In the wrong direction and a
dangerous step, because fits deaden-
ing effect at ffrst is imperceptible
and only realized when a general
slowing down reveals the drying up
of funds which maintain the indis-
pensable condition of an active secu-
rite. market. whereon investors may
at any time of need liquidate their
holdings.
when stocks are buoyant and ev-
erybody Is making money the tax of
"a for every hundred shares Is not
seriously felt, but when stocks be-
come ouiet the maintenance of a
market depends upon the trader who
ls satisfied to buy and sell on a mar
row market for small profit.
with the imposition OF the pro-
posed addition, the State tax will go
a long way on the road to eliminate
the very useful, II not essential. Of
Aces of the trader. thereby depriving
the security holder Of q fair market
upon which to liquidate."
1t IL also pointed out that already
the financial center carries a dispro-
portionate part Of the State tax bur-
den.

BANK CLEARINCS.

The continuance of unusually
heavy payments through the banks,
as reflected in record bank clear
ings, affords evidence that business
In most lines is being maintained
in large volume in practically every
section Of the country. Last week,
twenty leading cities, according to
Dun's Review. report aggregate
clearings Of ss.oss.1s7,ss3, which is
not only a gain Of 35.3 per cent
over the figures of this week last
year and of ISL per cent over those
OF the same week in 1918. but is the
largest total ever established for
this period. Remarkably favorable
comparisons continue to be mace
with previous years by almost every
important center. Louisville, where
some falling of from both 1919 and
1913 appears. being the only notable
exception. New York City reports a
total Of $4,s51,715,951, representing
increases of 35.7 and. COS per cent,
respectively, over the clearings of
last week in the two Immediately
preceding years, while the aggre-
gate OF all cities outside the me-
tropolis amounts to $3.117,471, ,932, or
s4.s per cent more than for the same
week last year and an excess of 47.0
per cent in comparison with the
clearings of the corresponding week
two years ago.

STORM lessons TRADE

New York. March 2s.-Call money
went to IL per cent today Just at
the close and the result was a gen.
erai reaction that left prices net
iower In most issues in spite of a
strong market early In the day.
The fact that another million
pounds Is on it's way to New York
with much more to follow caused
Wall Street to take the decline in
the market quietly.
Because of the tornado In the
Middle West there was but little
business from that section. The
west has been bullish.
The Street is beginning to feel
that 1t has jumped too hastily to the
conclusion that Stutz Motors is cor
nered. The stock made a new high
record today. Crucible and Chand-
Ter Were other specialties to make
new high prices.
Harding Replies to senate.
Gov. Harding, of the Reserve
Board, answering the Senate's. in
quiry regarding usurious rates in
Wall Street, said today that the Re-
serve Bank had no dealings with
Wall Street and that therefore he
would not pretend to explain the
money rates. He said he knew
nothing about thin.
! Trade was on q lighter scale than
usual and because of the light busi-
ness that came from the West the
market reflected local sentiment al
most entirely.
Some of the most important COM
panies that have planned stock diyi-
dends will not announce these divi.
dends until the mandate of the Su-
preme Court Is filed in the case de-
cided on March s. They expect these
dividends to cause market activity
Naturally they would like to see
the market have its reaction before
they begin this series of announce
ments- That had much to do with
the backward movement in the list
today.
The American Tobacco Company
stock dividend is expected in about
. month.
Copper Sales Heavy.
The demand for copper is so heavy
that sellers are holding off for 90
cents a pound. 1t is estimated that
more than 300, 900. 900 pounds have
been sold since the first week of
March.
Reports that the Mexican govern
ment would pay interest on its
bonds caused an advance OF 10
points in those securities.
The fact that the Argentine Re-
public will lend $500, 900. 900 to Eng
Sind, France and Italy will put an
end to the shipment of gold from
New York to Argentina. This will
enable the English shipments to
New York to exert their full credit

Baltimore and Annapolis Electric
Railroad Company held their annual
meeting yesterday at Naval Acad-
emy Junction, and in addition to
electing directors for the ensuing
year. approved the report of Presi-
dent George T. Bishop for the twelve
months ended December 81 last. Mr..
Bishop was unable to attend the
meeting, owing to a death in his
family. ]. ]. Doyle, vice president
and general manager. and other
officials of the company. were in at
tendance.
While gross revenues for 1919 fell
on more than 100000 as compared
with 1918, which was the best year
in the history of the company, the
company reported net surplus of
S319,3sS.50. as compared with $4s4,-
535.s7 for the preceding year. The
company was able to cut down op-
Grating expenses to a marked ex-
tent, a saving of more than $500, 900
occurring in the expense item.
President Bishop did not go into
auy extended comment on opera
tions for the year, but it is gener-
ally known that the reduction in
the business of the Washington,
Baltimore and Annapolis was due
to the fact that there was very little
activity at Camp Meade. whereas in
1918 the company derived an enor-
nous business from this source.
