public last night, shows increases

Total operating revenues were
given as $77J,254,2I8, an increase Gf
lI.6 per cent over 1922. Operating
expenses were S633,944,6OO, an in

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, April 1.-Con showed
more activity than wheat today, but
neither sellers nor buyers took an ag-
gressive stand, and price, changes kept
within narrow range during the early
trading. The market responded nervous
~ to any transient increase of offerings
or of demand. Uncertainty as to what
further action, If any, might develop
from recent charges of market manipula-
ton tended to check any pronounced
swing of values either down or UP. The
opening, which ranged from u decline
to b advance, May 76B to H. was fol-
lowed by slight general sag, and then
by little rallies and setbacxs in success
sion.
In the wheat market trade was of a
scattered character, with May showing
some weakness and later months fir1ner.
After opening at y off to an equal gain,
May 1.02 to 1.02A. and July 1.03ss to
1.03B y, wheat prices dipped all around to
a limited extent and then steadied at
about the same as yesterdays finish.
Oats averaged trifie higher as a re-
suit Of talk about seeding delay. Initial
prices were shade to u up, May ASH
TO 46, with no important fluctuations
later.
Provisions were upheld by firmness of
hog values.

WELL WITHIN MEANS
Cost of Government Shown by Of

Than Total Income.
By the Associated Press.

py TIRE AssOCldtcu tTeSS.
LONDON, April John Bull con-
tinues the excellent practice of liv-
ing well within his means, a prewar
virtue not yet resumed by all of his
European neighbors. In the fiscal
year ended tonight his expenditures
in the running the government of the
United Kingdom were nearly $50, ,000,-
600 less than his total income
The official figures as announced
by the exchequer were: Revenue,
fS37.16s,2S4; expenditure. f7SS,S40,211.
In the previous fiscal year John
Bulls books showed surplus more
than twice as large as the one re-
vealed with no little pride tonight.
1t was f1O1. 100000.
The slump in this years surplus is
almost entirely attributable to the
reduction in the tax on the incomes
of the British people, tax which is
still very high-from about 20 per-
cent upwards
The income and supertaxes imposed
for the year closed last night yielded
t2oS,33l 900, decrease of f49,074. 900
from last year. Other items showed
slight increases or decreases, but the
lighter income tax burden explains
almost by itself the so per cent cut
in the national surplus.
1t is to be expected that since the gov
ernment has again effected a saw
ing campaign will begin imm ediate-
ly for still further reduction of
taxes.
Chancellor Snowedn's budget for
the ensuing year will be presented
in parliament in April. 1t is not un-
likely that there will be any extern
sive tax cutting because of the past
savings. for the surplus revealed, will
go. perhaps has already gone, to the
reduction of the national debt
The total revenue was 10000, 900
more than Stanley Baldwin. as chan
cellor Of the exchequer, estimated a
year ago. 1t was his governme
and the laborites, who follow ed /,
which succeeded in avoiding the ex-
penditure of f2s,000, 600 of the origi-
nally estimated expenditures
With the exception of the excess
profits duties, which yielded absolute
ly not a penny, the land taxes and
miscellaneous receipts, the proceeds
from all heads of the revenues sur
passed the estimates. Compared with
the previous year the net decrease in
revenue was f16.843.16S.

STEINMETZ MOTOR CAR
STOCKHOLDERS TO MEET
Company Cited for Receivership
Is Making Effort to Raise Ad-
ditional Revenue.

BALTIMORE, April 1 (Specian.-A
meeting of stockholders of the Stein
metz Motor Car Corporation will be
held tomorrow at the company's plant
here. at which time il will be known
whether the management has been
successful in their effort to raise ad-
ditional capital An application for
appointment of a receiver for the
company is now pending in the Balti-
more courts, and President G. NJ. Kel-
ler has made it plain that the only
hope of avoiding a receivership lies
in the subscription of stockholders
to 100000 of three-year notes.
Other interests have been asked to
advance $240, 600 additional. 1t is un-
derstood that the company owes
about $4,000. approximately half of
which is due to officers and employees.
Suit for a receivership was brought
by some of the latter, and attorneys
for the creditors agreed to await the
outcome of Wednesdays meeting be-
fore pressing the case.
According to spok for the cor
poration a number of contracts have
been turned down because of the lack
of working capital to finance pur-
chase of materials. Otherwise, they
say, the position of the company is
satisfactory. and the outlook for flu
ture operations favorable. Creditors,
on the other hand, are said to be less
optimistic about the possibility of
developing the business.

MARKET REPORT

February 4, 1924.

An unexpected snow storm, of bllz-
zard proportions in many sections of
the central west, delayed live stock
trains and cut down receipts. While
this condition tended to delay the ear
ly trading, the market towards noon
had displayed steady prices for cattle
and sheep and an advance in hogs.
Few good cattle were offered and with
Chicago prices weak again, there was
no incentive for an advance here.
TOday's Receipts
Receipts today were $4,000 cattle,
10000 hogs and 1000 sheep, compared
with 10000 cattle, $4,000 hogs and
1000 sheep a week ago, and 1925
cattle, 23,350 hogs and $3.50 sheep a
year ago.
Beef Cattle
Owing to a>number of trains being
delayed by storm conditions, trade in
fat cattle opened rather slowly, but
later developed good proportions at
steady prices. Quality of the offer
ings was somewhat below the aver
age, but killers and order buyers took
them freely after they had once start
ed. Indications are that receipts will
be light the rest of this week and
higher prices are expected. Chicago
with $4,000 cattle quoted weak mar
ket. Here most of the steers that
went to killers sold at $3.50 to 5000,
a few punches at 1925 to $3.50. Kill
ers said that strictly prime steers
would sell at $11.50 to $1,000. Cows
and heifers were steady. In spots

country demand for stockers and

pondingly small and prices were
steady. Better weather will bring inn

Boston Wool Market

There is more or less speculative
buying among the Boston wool houses
and it is evident that the wool trade
is only being held in leash by a
strong effort on the part of the lead
ers. Prices are slowly Strengthening
in the Boston market, although the
trade has been waiting for the heavy
weight openings before taking too de-
cided a stand. Contracting in the
west has started, though on very
small scale as yet. Both London and
Colonial markets continue firm, oper-
ations there being quite independent
of what is going on in this country.
American buyers are operating active
ly in all markets, and actually paying
prices above what the woods could be
turned over for in this country. Ar
rivals of foreign wool at Boston are
increasing rapidly, though still far
behind last years figures.
