BY MONITOR.
NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Priee move
ments in the security markets this week
have been dictated by conflicting con-
siderations, and the result has been an
array of confusing fluctuations so far
as the general list is concerned. While
a few specialties have moved upward
very sharply as a consequence Of in
dividuaI influence Of q favorable char
acter. the majority of stocks has shown
no important average change Pools
have been much less active during the
week, and scattered profit taking has cut
down some of the recent gains estab
lished. in the oils, equipments, steels and
low priced rails. In the rail group an
upward tendency has been displayed by
relatively few issues. and these advances
have been attributed to special causes,
such for example as in the case Of Mis-
souri, Pacific preferred.
As soon as there has been sufficient
Profit taking to affect stability. IL is the
general belief here that conditions pre-
vailing in the petroleum and copper in
dustries will warrant fresh bullish ac
tivity in tRe shares representing these
industries.
TAX BILL LENDS
ENCOURAGEMENT
In some respects financial sentiment
has suffered discoura cement from the
passage Of the tax bill in its present
form. and also as n result of the aban-
dOnment Of the railroad funding bill 1t
is generally believed that no effort will
be made to pass this latter measure, as
(,
tain the contention that the railroads are
now on an earning basis that obviates
the urgent necessity of the assistance
that the bill would have provided.
The new revenue bill is expected TO
yield about So, 2160O0,O0O for the fiscal
year 1922 and reduce the burden to 50,
Gl1.O00,0O0 for the fiscal year 1923. The
sUrtaxes on individual incomes are placed
1T a maximum of 80 per cent, which is a
reduction of Is per cent fwom the Oper-
alton of the present law.
OBTAINS ONE
CONSOLATION.
About the only consolation Wall street
derives from the new law is the pro-
vision stating in effect that N the case
OF securities sold two years after their
purchase any profits aecruing therefrom
may be considered as capital gains sub
ject to 4 tax of 1914 per cent instead of
being credited 10 income, which might
be subject, in case Of large incomes, to
4 much higher tax, including surtax
The bill, however, is evidently a make
shift that does not go down TO the eco
monte roots of the case, and business in
general will obtain very little relief from
its provisions.
The unexpected strength in call money
has been caused chiefly by relative
shortage OF funds resulting from their
absorption by the offering of such 4 flood
or attractive securities recently. The in
yestment demand, in other words. has
depleted the supply of funds available
for the speculative market-Copyrich

'0tt0n Review

NEW YORK, NoE. 25-The English
markets, which have been recently lead
ing in strength, reversed themselves to-
day, and this encouraged considerable
liquidation here. L is more than likely
that the reactivnary tendency in Liver
pool may be charged to 4 speech in
England by 4 representative of the gov
crnInent on their relations with France.
In our market, the selling was rather
heavy and, strange to say, most of the
selling came from the South.
There was nothing in trade news that
should warrant any weakness. On the
contrary, all that was published was IA
YOrable. We are inclined to the opinion
that this reaction will prove to be only
temporary; that on weak markets, such
rs these. purchases of the spring and
summer months should be made.
LIVERPOOL. Nov. 2O.-There was a
moderate demand for spot cotton at the
opening of the market today.

Shipping Board
Acts to Avert a
New Rate War
United American Lines Are
Stated to Have Rescinded
Their Withdrawal From
the Eastbound Conference

An adjustment has been reached in
connection with the difficulties in the
1ntercoastal Rate Conference, according
t. the local Offices of the Shipping
Board, and there will be no rate war
on shipments by water between the
Pacific and Atlantic coasts.
Arrangements are stated to have
been made whereby the United Amer
lean Lines, operating ships under the
flag of the American Hawaiian Com
pany, have Arescinded their with
drawal from the eastbound conference.
The United American Lines were said
to intend withdrawing from the west
bound conference also, but this has
been averted by the adjustment.
The withdrawal from the eastb ound
conference, covering vessels running
from the Pacific to the Atlantic Coast,
was prompted by dissatisfaction on
the part of the United American Lines
with the large amount of Shipping
route, with the result that none of the
lines trading on this route was able
to secure adequate cargoes.
1t was announced at the local Of
fees of the Shipping Board yesterday.
however, that the United American
Lines had been satisfied that the board
was doing everything in it's power to
aid ~ ate shipping, and had accord
lnglS turned to the conference.
Announcement of the withdrawal
from the eastbound conference, it was
said, had caused shippers to withhold
shipments in the belief that a rate
war would result in much lower
level OF, freights than those prevailing.
Now that it is stated conference
rates will be adhered to a freer move
ment of cargo is expected.
