ing tax returns will be substantially
lightened.
There is no prospect that the small
individual taxpayer will be able to
benefit by any reduction in his taxes.
In view of the adverse action with
respect to the sales tax, there is
no possibility of a reduction in the
present normal tax on incomes.
Besides removing present inequi-
ties of the excess profits tax and SUBJ
stituting simpler corporation tax,
it is planned to amend the admins
trative features of the law in such
a way as to simplify the procedure
in other respects. Recommendations
of the Treasury department along
this line will be followed.

Denies Estimating
Ford Motor Needs
AT $l16,OOO,0O
Stettinius Says He Never Had
Occasion to Fix Require
ments; Gen. Motors Not
Seeking Control, He Adds

Reports coming out of Detroit to the
effect that Edward r. Stettnius, part
rer in the banking house of J. P. Nor
gar & Co, had estimated the financial
needs Of the Ford Motor Company.
which is seeking large loan, at $116,-
100000, brought forth n vigorous denial
from the banker yesterday.
AZ the same time Mr.. Stettinious
took occasion to deny report that the
General Motors Corporation, Of which
control recently passed from the hands
Of w. C.. Durant and associates to the
du Points and the Morgans, is contem-
rlating acquisition Of the Ford Motor
Company.
"Statements which appeared in to-
days New York Times" said Mr.. Stet-
tjEius, quoting an anonymous Detroit
banker as saying that had estimated
the financial requirements of the Ford
Motor Company at *116,000,000 are
without foundation. ! have never
placed any figure on the monetary
needs of the Ford company and have
never had OCCASION to do so.
"Similarly the rumors that the Gen
eral Motors Corporation is contemplate
lnE the acquisition OF tne ford Motoi
Company are untrue, as Is also the re-
port that the General Motors Corpora
ton has come into possession of large
block of Ford notes
Wall Street has known for fort
night that the Ford interests have been
making overtures to bankers here rela
tive to financing the needs Of the Ford
company. The amounts mentioned have
ranged from s75,000,000 to 800 ,00o,0 900
The money is needed, it is said, to re-
finance bank loans of the company to
meet its tax needs. A banking group
here is understood to have made a def
rite proposition to Mr.. Ford involving
fifteen-year Z per cent bond issue,
secured by first mortgage on the Ford
Motor Company properties. The mat
ter is said to have reached a stage
where the bankers are awaiting a reply
from Detroit. 1t was reported yester-
DAY that definite announcement might
be made before the end of the week.

Cotton Declines
On Foreign Tone;
Sentiment Mixed
Market More Sensitive to
Selling Pressure as Re-
suit of Reparations Deci-
sion; Goods Trade Dull

There was further sharp decline in
the cotton market yesterday. Conflict
ing opinions with reference to the Ger
man indemnity agreement Eave had n
confusing effect on sentiment, which
seems to have rendered the market
rather more sensitive to bearish
features in other directions.
The extent of available supplies, the
possibility OF increased Sou .hern spot
offerings with tho advance of the pick
ing season, tho continued depression
Of the export outlet, and the slacken-
ing Of domestic trade in goods were all
among the influences mentioned on the
decline Of yesterday, while reports of
an easier spot basis probably accounted
for renewal Of, March liquidation.
That month sold off to 1853, making
decline Of more than &c per pound
from the recent high level, and to
within 81 points of the low record es-
tablished toward the end Of December.
Co. ering caused rallies later and
March closed at 1895, with the gen
eral market closing steady at net
decline of IL to 19 points.
Liverpool cables were lower than due,
with private advices reporting trade
depression and saying that Lancashire
mills had fair stocks, presumably Of
raw material.
Southern spot markets rs officially
reported were unchanged to SO points
lower, with middling quotations down
t. 12.45 in some Of the Southwestern
markets, compared with 1910, the low
est point reached on the break Of late
December.
The local market for spot cotton
was quiet and 15 points lower at 14.15;
sales nil.

A further sharp decline occurred IN
the wheat market yesterday ana Al
though there were rallies AT tlnss,
fnal quotations were only sIgh.iy
above the lowest, with net losses OF
to SIC.
A break Of 81 cents in the buehos
Ayres market, and reports that Arsen
tine wheat was being offered ABROAD
at from lie to16c bushel under amer
lean wheat, were the principal besr'sh
factors. Belgium was said TO- have
placed it's buying orders in the Argen-
tine market, and advices from abroad
were generally bearish on economic
and financial conditions. italy and Hoi-
land purchased about 6OO,o0o Dushels
Of American wheat on the break, hc"-
ever, and as the full extent of these
orders was not disclosed until after
the close, there was some dlsposltlon
to anticipate a rally to-day.
On the whole, there was very little
confidence in high prices, and the rail-
lies were feeble.
AT the low point Of the day the May
position was at new low record and
prices showed losses of 1870 to lSAc
