The break was checked at this

was stimulated by closing strength

nearly all of their early losses.

In the afternoon the list turned

In spite of the decline in prices
and the general alteration in busi-

ton of revenue figures for the fis-
cal year 1921 will not fall far be-
low the estimates made by the
Treasury at the end of 1919, experts
stated here yesterday.
If correct, this estimate means
that the total receipts from ordi-
nary sources, such as customs, in
ternal revenue, etc, will be more
than $1,000. .000,0 900 and from income
and excess profits taxes approx

Moreover, cutting prices does
not mean cutting profits" said one
official. If certain article had
been selling at 800 and the price
would be cut to $50, the increased
sales might offset completely the
reduction in profit taken on each
article"
One of the knottiest problems is
presented by the excess profits tax
law. which. it is universally con-
ceded, must be revised. Treasury

New York. Oct. 2s.-Professionsi
bear traders met with considerable
success in the stock market today
and for a time succeeded in weak
ening prices TO the extent where
losses ranged from one TO three
points in standard issues. and from
two to six. points in specialties- The
bearssh contingent were aided by
the continuance OF a high rate for
call money and cables from Lon
don. which stated early in the day
that the outlook for a settlement
of the coal strike were uncertain
Trading was on a much heavier
scale than on any previous session
during the week and IL was not
until late in the afternoon that the
market began TO show resistance TO
the persistent offerings.
Early in the afternoon csblegrsms

had been settled, subject to a vote
by ballot by the miners. Prscti-
cslly no attention was paid 20 this
news and IL was not until support

the exception OF two roads-the At

made by the bears to minimize
these increases by using the in
