INDIANS HAVE
 CURIOUS ADMIRATION

The Indians of Guiana have a curious system of numeration. They count by the hand and its four fin gers. Thus. when they reach five, instead of saying so, they call it a hand" Six is therefore hand and first finger" seven, a hand and sec ond finger" Ten is two hands" But twenty, instead of being -four hands is a man" Forty is two men" and they thus go on by twenties. Forty six is expressed as two men, hand and first finger."- Dispatch

CHICAGO BOARD

CHICAGO. July 21-Predictions of continued liberal receipts had a bear ish influence on the wheat market today Besides the need of track de- liveries here owing to congested stor- age facilities counted also as a de- pressing factor. Hot weather in the Northwest failed to stimulate much buying. Initial quotations, which varied from unchanged figures to Ac lower with September s125Z to SIPS, and December $1.29 to s1.291z. were followed by a slight rally. but then by moderate setback all around
 Liberal shipments of corn from here gave firmness to corn. After opening sc off to 1sc advance. in cluding September at 61 to 61 c, the market scored gains all around.
 Oats hardened with corn. starting hc off to shade up. September 41Ac c and then making slight general ad- vance.
 Higher quotations on hogs steadied the provision market despite a break in lard prices at Liverpool.

Gains on Capital Assets Taxable.

Washington. - Numerous inquiries
have reached the Bureau of Internal
Revenue relative to the decision of
United States District Court of Con
necticut in the Brewster case, in which
1t was held that gains and profits real
lied from the sale of capital assets are
not taxable income. The United States
attorney for Connecticut has been au-
thorized to perfect an appeal TO the
Supreme Court of the United States
for a review of the decision. Since
Congress, under the provisions of the
income tax acts of 1913, 1916 and 1918,
has directed the taxation rs income OF
such gains and profits, the bureau Will
continue to collect the tax thereon, un'
less and until the Supreme Court shall
mold that provision of law to he uncon-
sumtional. The same question Is in
Volved in the Eldorado and Ryerson
cases which were argued in the SUI
preme Court some weeks ago. A deci'
sion In these cases undoubtedly will
settle the general question. In view OF
lhe severe penalties provided by law
