INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY
 sLACkENED LAST WEEK

New York, Nov. 2e CBy tho 4. P.).- Signs have not been wanting during the past week that the usual November slackening in industrial activity is under day. Railway car loadiDgs for the week ended Nov. II showed a further failing of in traffic, although the total number of cars loaded, 954,000, is still very large and exceeds the movement in the core spending weeks of 1921 and 1920. Election day and Armistice day may have played part in slowing down the i movement, but there are other develop ments. such as slight falling of in the
 demand for cars, which suggest the nor
 nal tendency.
 One result of the somewhat better car situation has been further gains in soft coal production, which now is well estab- | lished at rate appreciably above Il, ,0OO,- 900 tons a week. Further progress has been made in reconstituting stocks of fuel | and coal operators have made reports of
 no demand from most of the states west ! of the Mississippi Barring spells of ex-
 tremely severe weather, it Is considered that the danger of a fuel famine is past Steel production continues to hold un
 remarkably we'll. The countrys mills are
 working at a rate not far short of so per cent. of capacity and the trade re- ports that sufficient orders are booked to 1 ensure the maintenance of approximately this scale of activity into the first quar- i ter of the year.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Federal ta1 collections during the fiscal year ended. June 30, 1922. fell off almost $1.4OO,- 900 900, or 30 per cent as compared with the previous year. according to the annual report of the internal reTr- lruo bureau issued tonight by Coinmis- sioncr Blair. Income and profits taxes collected during the year showed de- crease of. $1,141 100000. or S5 Der cent.
 Total tax collections for the year az g-egated $3.197,451,oS3 compared with S4.5S5. .557 ,061 for 1891 while income and profits taxes for 1922 amounted to s2,0sG,91S.454 against $3,22s,137,67S the previous year.
 Miscellaneous collections arising from taxation other than that on incomes and profits amounted to S1110,532, SIS for 1922 . decrease of $25S,6s6.770 or 19 per cent. This slump, MT. Blair de- clared, was accounted for mostly by the repeal or reduction in rates of various taxes provided for in the revenue act Of -92I. effective January i, 1922.
 The net expenditure for c0l!ersins taxes for 1922 was S34,2Ss,S51 which vas equivalent to SLOT for each $1O0 collected as compared ~.h 72 cents for each $I00 the previous year.
 '"The difference in the relative cost of collection for the fiscal years 1921 and 1922, Mr. Blair said, Is due mainly to the large reduction in the revenues If 1922 incident to the shrinkage in r-"si- ness and incomes, the repeal of certain nlisceilaneous war taxes and various provtsions of the law such as the amor tization of war time facilities and the increase in individual exemptions col lcctlons in the revenue act of 1921, with the consequent reduction in the income tax liability of corporations and indi' viduals.
