NEW YORK, Oct. s.--As . natural re- suit of the government report yesterday, further liquidation made It's appearance this morning, the market declining some 10 points under last nights closing prices, then rallying and. being quiet and dull during the greater part Of the day. The report has upset all caicuia- tious The vast majority of the trade do not know what to do. On the other hand, the German loan Is apparently going through and indications point 10 a very large export movement during October. The basis in the south has held fairly steady and so far shows no signs of weakening. Whether the south will turn loose their cotton is . ques- tion which now. faces the trade. IT they do, the market will decline; if they do not, 1t will steady up and quiet down. waiting either some unfavorabie wealth Ter or the next government report. Liv- erpool futures are. due tomorrow: De- cember, 13.ssd; January. 1sSsd.

The labor government in Eng land having been defeated in the House of Commons, a general election has been called for the latter part of this month. to be followed by the presidential eiec- tion in the United States November 4. With two important elections pending in America and England in the near future, there is some apprehension lest business conditions become unsettled on both sides of the Atlantic meanwhile.

Give more equitable distribution Of
the 1891. 100000 reduction purposed
by Secretary Mellon.
Wipe out the income tax Of five
million people incomes Of less than
$4,000.
Cut s164.0o0, 900 from the income
taxes on all earned income3.
Sweep away $136.0O0.00O in mis-
cellaneous taxes.
Cut surfaces 100000, 900.
Lower the $46,OOO.O 900 government
cost of collecting taxes each year.
King says the government col
lects only $4,000, 900 from five million
income taxpayers whose incomes are
less than $4,000.
The amount thus collected does not
warrant the expense, King said.
He las changed the tax levy on
incomes of less than $4,000 so that the
entire levy will be reduced 80 per
cent instead of % per cent, as Mellon
suggested.
Mellon suggested that the normal
tax on incomes over $4,000 be 6 per
cent instead of s per cent as at pre-
sent King proposes to make it 0 per-
cent.
BY repeal of miscellaneous taxes
on promissory notes, deeds, telegraph
and telephones, leased wires, candy
yachts, motorboats, theatres (not ad-
missions), circuses and taxicab, KIM
says he takes off $136,000,000 more.

and the state public utilities commits
sion. This action was determined
upon after several days conference
between railway official, officers OF
tile big coal companies, the Traffic
Service Bureau Of Utah, and the gov

the conclusion being that the best in
terests of Utah would be served by
the consolidation and that 1t would
give the state another transcontinenal
line, which would bring about COM
petition and would inure to the bene-
fit Of the entire people Of the state
Efforts and talk in the East have
been to the effect that the Santa Fe
wanted the Denver & Rio Grande

best posted in the railroad world is
that, were the Santa Fe to obtain
the control, it would mean that the
intermountain country would be alb
solutely shut out from benefit N any
way.

IN relation to finance docket No.
1859, the public utilities commission
OF Utah has given consideration to
the plan for the reorganization of the
Denver & Rio Grande Western rail-

This commission understands the
present plan to be the only definite,
Iangible plan for reorganization of
his property that has been definitely
and believes that it's adOp-
ion will result in the betterment of
he physical property and service in
he state of Utah.
"Unless your commission has be-
ore it some other plan which car
les stronger financial arrangements,
We recommend the adoption by your
commission of the reorganization plan |
md ask that our recommendation be |
made part of the hearing in the above |
ase"
Governor Mabey's telegram is as
ollOws:
In the matter of Denver & Rio
+rande Western railroad reorganiza-
ion, the state of Utah, has vital
interest, inasmuch as one-third, and
nat the most productive third Of the
ntire mileage of the said system, is
coated in this state.
1T serves large agricultural, live
.ock, coal mining, metal mining,
manufacturing. and other producing
lterests, wholly dependent upon it

II have been assured that the
-operty has entirely passed from ,

terests which for years have ex-
oited 1t, and that prospective pur-
lasers have ample funds which they I
i'll use for improvement and de-

much more effective transportation
