Considerable Irregularity Shown in
Weeks Movements-Review
of Conditions.
By the Associated Press,


NEW ORLEANS. La, February H.
Considerable irregularity was shown
oy the cotton market last week as the
result of the drawing apart of the
old and the new crop months. the lat
ter being held down from making a
full response to bullish old crop con-
ditions because of the continued IA
vorable weather over the belt. On
the close the trading positions were
42 points higher to 13 points lower
than the close of the preceding week
At the highest levels they were 80
TO 70 points over the preceding week s
close, and at the lowest they were 33
to 81 points under. March traded as
low as 27.45, as high as 1857, and
closed at 2S.20. In the spot depart
ment prices gained so points on mid
ding, which closed at $3.50, against
1926 on the close of this week last
year.
The strength of spots was the main
sustaining influence Of the week, and
during the greater part of the time
spots were at premium over con-
tracts Increasing the effect of a good
spot demand and slender offerings
were favorable trade accounts and a
fairly good business in the cloth mar
kets of this country. At the end of
the week, especially, there were re-
ports Of heavy trading in print cloths.
Political news from abroad held the
market down at times. but. just on
the close. was accepted as being more

NEW YORK. February 12.-The news
of the world Is the dominating factor
in the establishment OF styles for
women. That was the conclusion an
nounced today by representatives of
some Of the most important silk man
ufacturers in the United States here
for the silk show. 1t is becoming in
creasingly evident, they declared. that
France cannot longer control with un-
disputed sway the setting Of fashion.
The United States is beginning to de-
velop its own fashions. and this tend
ency will probably be even more no.
ticeable in the future.
There are all kinds OF variations in
fashion," said Horace B. Cheney of
cheney Brothers, one of the largest
silk firms in this country, but usually
the subject which is uppermost in peo-
PIES minds finds expression in their
style OF dress. Lowell said: To say
why women do so or won't would be
presuming. But during the Balkan
wars. for instance. Bulgarian style and
design went fairly rampant
Handkerchief Fad Spreads.
In more recent times since the war
when Russia has been in the public
eye, and very much on the public mind
ana conscience, Russian art and design
nave been recommended very strongly
During this season, when Turkey and
the near east have been occupying
much space in the public prints, Turk
ish and oriental designs have played
an important part in fashion.
one of the most extraordinary
freaks of fashion. origin Of which I
do not know. is in full swing in
France. and has been accepted in
TINS country. That is the use of
handkerchiefs for all kinds of pur-
used for every conceivable purpose
They are being worn on the wrist
and made into hats, dresses, blouses
ana house decorations. They are be-
ing worn by both men and women in
the greatest variety OF styles and
colors,"
spring Furs Being shown.
spring furs are now being shown
by q number of manufacturers, and
dealers expect a good season in these
articles, although retailers are max
ing only small purchases until the
style trend shall have become more
pronounced.
The orders received by wooden
manufacturers for fall overcoats have
been heavy, and it is expected that
many lines will be withdrawn from
the market before March l. A broad
silk demand is growing. according to
manufacturers. who expect II to reach
it's height within the next 1en days
Indications today were that The strike
here of dress and waist makers
unions will be adjusted shortly.
Hat manufacturers said today that
indications presaged an advance OF
nearly 20 per cent in the retail prices
for felt hats for rext fall. The prices
for caps have not yet shown advances.
but dealers are watching the trend
i'll those articles closely.

INCOME TAX FACTS.
No. Is.

Bad debts constitute a considerable
item in the returns of many tax
payers and may be treated in one of
two ways: "a by a deduction from
income in respect of debts ascertained
to be worthless in whole or in part, or
(2) by a deduction from income of an
addition to a reserve for bad debts.
When satisfied that a debt is recov-
cradle only in part. the commissioner
Of internal revenue may allow such
a debt to be charged off In part
Partial deductions are allowed with
respect to specific debts only. The
taxpayer must be able to show with
a reasonable degree Of certainty the
part that is uncollectible.
Where a taxpayer, as a matter OF
established business practice. sets up
annually a reserve for bad debts. rea-
sonable additions to such reserve dur
ing the year, in the discretion of the
commissioner may be deducted. In
such case, debts written OFF on the
books of a taxpayer must be charged
against the reserve, and must not be
claimed as deduction from gross
income unless the debt was outstand-
ing on December 81. 1920.
Taxpayers who adopted either of
the two methods for the year 1921
must use the same method for the
year l922, unless permission TO change
is obtained from the commissioner of
internal revenue.
A taxpayer using the reserve
method should include in his return
a statement showing the volume of
his charge sales Cor other business
transactions) for the year, the per-
centage of such reserve to such
amounts. the total amount of notes
and accounts receivable at the begin
ming and end of the taxable year. and
the amount of debts ascertained to be
worthless or partially worthless and
charged off against the reserve account
during the taxable year.
Bad debts can be deducted only for
the year in which they are ascertained d
to be worthless and charged off the
books of the taxpayer. The taxpayer
should attach to his return a state

NEW YORK, February 12-Cptimism
over the domestic situation continued to
be the dominating factor in the finan-
cial markets last week. Securities show
ed much strength and the prevailing
impression in Wall street was that the
upward movement largely reflected the
reports Of increased Industrial activity
and the satisfactory annual financial
returns which now are being published
Many Favorable Factors.
Many proofs of active business are
available. For one thing. loadings of
revenue freight by the railroads con-
tinue to set new records for this sea-
son OF the year. In the week ended
January q, some $1,000 cars of freight
were loaded, this figure exceeding the
total for the same week a year ago by
$1,000 cars and that in the compa ra bile
week OF 1920 by $4,000 cars The Gains
are distributed, furthermore, among
the various classes of traffic, thus em-
phasizing the general character of the
improvement
Reports from the steel industry
continue to be of particular interest.
Pig iron production during January
totaied 3,230,000 tons, which is prac-
tically twice the tonnage of Janu-
a daily rate of 100000 tons. This is
the highest rate attained since Octo
Der, 1920. and compares with the
all-time record of $4,000 tons made
In september, 1918. Interest also was
displayed in the fact that the Steel
untitled orders increased
$4,000 tons in January. despite the
fact that the corporations plants are
now operating approximately 80 per
cent Of capacity.
Steel Demand Surprising.
Increase in demand for steel products
is so marked that some observers
are alarmed over it's rapidlty. AS the
mills are well booked for several
months ahead and consumers are
anxious to enlarge orders and secure
early delivery, prices still show a
tendency to rise.
Both Dun's and Bradstreet's in
dces rose slightly. The interesting
feature Of the movement was the dis
parity shown by different groups of
commodities. Farm products reacted
after earlier advances, but prices of
commodities utilized in industry were
generally higher.
