WEEKS STOCK MARKET
: MOST ACTIVE THIS YEAR

NEW YORK, December 3.-The
week on the stock exchange was one
of the most active this year. Transac-
;tions in stocks were unusually large
and broad and the turnover in bonds
for each full session was considera bly,
lin excess of S20,000,000.
Prices of stocks trended mainly up
ward, with rails as the only promi-
nent exceptions. Their failure to ad-
vance was attributed to rumors of
prospective financing by many of the
larger systems.
SteelS and equipments assumed lead
.ership of the market. those isues be-
coming speculative fayorites in con-
-nection with the proposed merger of
various Independent producers. The
general industrial list, was better,
although conditions in many lines of
trade continued backward.
Aside from a temporary rise of call
1oans to 5 Y per cent, December inter-
est and dividend payments were be-
gun without strain to the money mar
ket. The latest report of the Federal
Reserve Board and advices from agri-
cultural and cotton centers indicated
further liquidation of frozen credits" !"
Announcement that the federal gov
ernment will cooperate with the Eu-
ropean countries in the Reimbursement
of foreign exchange stimulated prac-
stica1ly all forms of international re-
mittances. some of these advancing
to the highest quotations in almost
two years.

LIBERTY BOND INTEREST
IS RULED TAX EXEMPT
Corporation Holdings Non-Taxablt
Unless Income Distributed,
Says Revenue Board.

Following reports from Wall street
that corporations there had been ad-
vised by their attorneys that under
the new revenue law all corporation
holdings of liberty and victory bonds,
as well as other government securi-
ties, were exempt from all, taxation,
the internal revenue bureau Hast
night issued formal ruling declar-
ing that interest on liberty bonds
held by corporations is exempt from
the corporation income tax of the
new law
Under the revenue act of 1915" the
ruling said. interest on liberty bonds
held by corporations was >exempt
from the corporation income tax. and
such interest is also exempt from the
corporation income tax under the rev.
enue act of 1921. Liberty bonds in
terest, however, when distributed in
the form of dividends remains subject
tosurtaxes in the hands Of the stock
holders in the same manner as other
dividends: There appears to be no
reason to expect that the new law
will give any encouragement to the
use of corporations to own liberty
bonds for the purpose of avoiding
surtaxes. but il any such attempt
should be made, the law provides
ample means for dealing with it."
