working ground for all the women in
the community regardless of their Diff

In making out his income tax return
for 1921 the average taxpayer will
find considerable saving in COM
parison with the amount of tax paid
on the same income for 1920.
The exemptions provided by the rev.
enue act of 1921 are $1,000 for single
persons (the term including widows,
widowers, divorces, and persons sep
arated from husband and wife by mu-
tual agreement), $4,000 for married
persons whose net income was $4,000
or less, and So 900 for married persons
whose net income was $4,000 or more.
Under the revenue act of 1913 the per-
sonal exemption allowed a married
person was $4,000 regardless of the
amount of net income. The personal
exemption allowed a married person
applies also to the head of a family,
man or woman who supports in one
household one or more relatives by
blood, marriage or adoption.
The exemptions for dependents-a
person who receives his chief support
from the taxpayer and who is under
IL years of age or incapable of self
support because mentally or physical
ly defective-is increased from 5000 to
$500.
The act requires that return be
filed by every single person whose net
income for 1921 was $1,000 or more.
every married person whose net in
come was $4,000 or more, and by ev-
cry person-single or married-whose
gross income was $4,000 or more.
The requirement to file return of
gross income of SIS, 900 or more regard
less of net income is now provision.
Net income is gross sincome less GER
tain specified deductions for business
expenses, losses, bad debts, etc., which
are fully explained on the forms.
Returns must be filed by married
couples whose combined income for
I9zl, including that OF dependent min
or children, equaled or exceeded 1000,
or if the combined income equaled or
exceeded $4,000.
The period for fling returns is from
January 1 to March Is, 1922. Heavy
penalties are provided for failure or
'willful refusal" to file a return on
time.
Forms 104OA for incomes of $4,000
and less and 1040 for incomes in ex-
cess of $4,000 may be obtained from
the offices of collectors of internal rev.
enue and branch offices. The tax may
be paid in full at the time of filing the

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS


Chicago, Oct. 31.-Persistent scatter

cline in prices at Liverpool and by
apparent lulls in export demand had
a bearish effect Tuesday on the wheat
market here. The closing was heavy,

fluence. Besides primary receipts were
in excess OF the figures last week and

Efforts to develop rallying power in
the wheat market proved of little
effect, general speculative buying being
practically dormant and the short in
t~erests outstanding having insufficient
volume to be much Of a factor.
The seaboard reported that there
were a good many foreign bids ~receiv-

New York, Oct. 31.-The market was
steady during the fore part of the
session as a result chiefly of short COW
ering and some buying on the reaction
theory. The forenoon upturn in prices
encountered liberal offerings and IN
the final hour another wave of lioulda-
ton made its appearance in the pro
cess of which prices declined rather
sharply and closing figures were az
almost the lowest since the downward
movement got nder way. 49,
The weakness in the marker IN 'he
last week or so seems to have shaken 10
a goodIy degree previous bullish con
ffdence n there seems to be a growing
conviction now that the market VIII
have to contend with further active
ton of the market will again reach a
firm level. The market now Is begin
ming to show distinct signs or I'M
portant distribution that was conduct
ed during the buoyancy IN the market
a while ago and more particularly when
specialties were being rushed upward.
There are also signs which have been
in evidence for awhile, that II mas peer
clearly demonstrated hat the market
can 60 down as easily as 1t can go up,
and when II is taken into consideration
that prices were on the upgrade win
only minor interruptions for the better
part Of fourteen months 1t does not
seem reasonable to assume that the
downturn in values will culminate IN
a week or ten days. ri,
we are strongly Of the opinion that
that market will have to contend with
much more liquidation and there are
many now who are beginning to real
ize that the sharp enhancement in val
ues since last year have more lnan
discounted the favorable progress Of
general trade. In conclusion we again
reiterate that we think advantage
should be taken of current price levels
to reduce long holdings of securities.
