BEARISH OPINION BRINGS FALL N PRICE OF WHEAT

CHICAGO March 2.-Wheat showed a downward tendency in price most of the time today. influenced largely by bearish opinion from the presi- dent of one of the largest grain com panies fere. The market closed un settled at ls@1ac net decline. with May s1.fSh D1.1Sss and July Sl.151a c 115Ss. Corn lost # to hs O Nc; oats finished unchanged to ssc off and provisions up ? to 12c.
 At first the wheat market showed disposition to advance owing to predictions of cold wave that might have an adverse effect on the winter crop. Early strength in the corn market tended also to lift wheat val ues. Demand for wheat, however, lack ,d force. Prices soon began to give signs of a sag, and thereafter the bulls were at disadvantage.
 According to the grain company of- ficial whose opinion acted as an evil dent check against the buying side of the wheat market, the United States to have the same carry-over of wheat as last year. must export before July 1 as much as 50.000, ,0c0 bushels, about 5000 900 a week, and Canada must export 150 1000, 900, or 9,000,000 bushels a week. This he judged impossible.
 Corn and oats were affected by the weakness which developed in the wheat market
 Provisions reflected the course of hog values.

CHICAGO, March 2.-Taxes charged tho nations railroads for 1922 increased 10 ss5.l6s. the largest sum ever paid by the carriers Hale Holden. chairman of the western railways committee on public re- lington and Quincy railroad. announced
 Mr. TI6iden asserted that 1922 taxes were increase of 17sh per cent over the amount paid in 1912. and exceed cash divi- cept 1917. The 1922 taxes he said amounted to 26 per cent of the railroads net earnings as compared with 13 per cent
 Although the railroads reduced rates and cut expenses by efficient operation. not Holden said the benefits that might have been derived from these changes both by the railways and the public were seriously reduced by the fact that taxes were largely Increased"
 Western railways, according to Mir. Hol- the last 10 years by increases in taxes than the railways of the coutry as whole. The announcement stated in 1912 their total taxes were less than s45ooo.ooo. In 1922 they were almost $l34,5O0. .000 an in crease of POS per cent
 While between 1918 and 1922 the taxes of the railroads increased s4 per cent" tho ing income declined 2s per cent. in spite expected return would be earned and paid. increased almost ss.ooo 100000.
 MT. Holden spoke on remarks made In the Senate by Senator w. E. Borah, Idaho as follows:
 "It will be very difficult to reduce freight rates if we continue in this coun- try to increase taxes upon the railroads as we have in the last four years"
 "As Senator Borah said" Mir. Hoden's statement read. the taxes come back upon the producer. the shipper. These public utilities must collect this money from one source--that is. those who ship"
 ''The public has right to demand" the announcement said. "and does demand that the railways shall be operated eco- nomically in order that 1t may get the icable: but in allowing government author ities to constantly and heavily increase the taxes of railways the public is allow ing shem largely to defeat the efforts of railway managers to reduce the cost of transportation and provide more adequate service"
