The first recommendation, If carried into effect, will
create a direct and widely distributed benefit to pro-
fessional men of every sort, TO all whose incomes are
derived from salary or wages-in short. to all men
and women whose incomes are created by labor,
rather than through investment. The second sugges-
ton, to cut the income tax rates from Four to Three
percent on smaller incomes, and from Eight to Six
percent on incomes ranging from $4,000 upward. will
Just as generally benefit the rank and file Of tax
payers. The benefciaries Of these two changes alone
will include all save a handful of the countrys four
teen million taxpayers. and especially will those Of
small income be favored.
Secretary Mellon believes that n reasonable reduction
of the surtax rates will release. for use in channels
of trade, millions Of capital now invested unproduc-
lively. BY the increase Of incomes consequent TO this
more active use Of capital there will undoubtedly re-
suit further tax savings in future years. The Secre-
tary points to the constantly diminishing return from
surfaces collected under the present oppressive rates.
and gives the strongest assurance that the proposed
reduction will mean a great increase in the amounts
realized therefrom. Thus, TO lower the rates will
mean actually to increase the amounts paid in to the
Government from this source.

Mr.. Melons proposals, then, are that the burden of
taxation be lifted just as much as possible from the
shoulders of the man of small income, and that the
savings occasioned by the Governments economical
management under the present budget be passed on
to those who need them most-that is, the taxpayers
whose incomes are less than $4,000 per year.

NEW YORK COTTON
NEW ORLEANs COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, July 10.-The cot ton market today was fairly active at times and at other times also dull It was largely weather market, making moderate gains at the start on fears of further unneeded rains in the eastern belt, coupled with good cables, and de- clining later owing to advices of satis- factory rains in Texas and the western belt generally and expectations of week. end reactions. July was sustained by the scarcity of supplies and the falling off in certificated stocks, although it is believed that month has been pretty well liQuidated. July traded at 27.02c near the start, or 12 points above the previous close, and eased off later to 26.6Sc; but closed at 26.90c, the same as yesterday.
 October traded at 2395c in the early part of the morning and then started to ease off; and, despite several good raI- lies, dropped to 23.55c in the late trad ing, or 40 points down from the high of the morning. December declined from the early high of 23.77c to 23. .4Oc, a drop of 2 points. The close showed net losses for the day of 21 to g points on new-crop months.
 There were few developments outside of the weather, the strength of the Liverpool market being based on con ttnental buying on fears of crop de- terioration due to recent weather as indicated by yesterdays weekly report. Certificated stocks here now down to 12,735 bales.
 Exports for the day totaled 14,2SS bales, including 10000 bales cleared from Wilmington for the continent.

WHEAT RESUMES UPWARD SWING Rise Is Due To Critical Crop Conditions In
 Canada

CHICAGO, July 10.-Critical crop conditiens in the Canadian northwest, the results of hot winds and drought, gave an upward swing to wheat today after an early decline. Closing quo tations were unsettled, 1ac to Hc net higher, September, $1.15 to $1.15A and December, $1.1S to $1.1S5s, with corn ranging from 1 Zc down to %c up, oats at 5s@%c off to Ac advance, and provisions unchanged to S2c higher.
 At first, the government crop re- port was the chief factor in. the wheat trade, and selling was general, the report being generally construed as bearish. Aggressive buying developed on the declines in price, however, and with the Winnipeg market showing de- cided strength a quick advance here ensued.
 Warm, sunshiny weather today and indications of considerable improve ment in the corn crop outlook this week formed something of an offset for the extremely bullish character of the government report on corn. All deliveries of corn, nevertheless, touched new high price records for the season, despite heavy profit taking on the part of holders. Cash demand remained brisk.
 Oats averaged lower throughout the day, government figures pointing to a much larger production than was looked for.
 Material advances were established in the provision market. The stimulus was high priced corn. <.

COTTONDROPS
 AFTER ADVANCE Favorable Rains In South west Starts Wave Of
 Liquidation

NEW YORK, July 10.-A further decline at the opening of the cotton market today was followed by declines under realizing or liquidation appar- ently promoted by reports of favorable rains in the southwest. October con tracts sold off from 24.95c to 4,40c and closed at that level with the gen. eral list closing barely steady at net declines, of. % to 40 points.
 The market opened fir mat a !. de cline of five points on July, but gen. erally 15 to % points higher in fer sponse to relatively firm Liverpool cables and continued complaints of excessive moisture in eastern sections of the belt. Yesterdays furry of cov- ering by July shorts seemed to have eased the technical position and the spot month was rather weak in the early trading on reiterated reports that cotton was coming here for contract deliverey from some points in the south and that few thousand bales were expected to arrive back here from Bremen next week.
 July broke to 29.03c or 47 points net lower, but at this price there. was renewal of support from spot house brokers which caused afternoon. raI- lies. New crops stiffened few points on the July strength, but reports of showers in the southwest encouraged an opinion that the crop was improving over a good part of the belt and the lowest levels of the day on October and later deliveries were reached in the late trading. Closing prices were 9 points up from the lowest on July, but at about the low figures on later deliveries.
 Exports today, 14,295, making D. 666S353 so far this season. Port re-. ceipts, 4,979. United States port stocks, 229, ,410.

REACTION HITS
 STOCK MARKET
Losses In Standard In dustrials Range From
 I To 3 Points 7

NEW YORK, July 10.-Stock prices turned reactionary today but not until after a sensational bullish demonstra' ton in the public utility shares 21 of which established new peak prices fol 1924. Net losses in standard industrial issued ranged from one to three points
 While the market letters of most commission houses expressed satisfac. tions with the democratic national tick. ct, many observers agreed that it wal without apparent effect on the days price movements.
 American Waterworks common was again the individual feature, establish ing record high fo rall time at 1151S, and then dropping abruptly to 102, for a net loss of 915 points on the day. Other outstanding public utility shares included Columbia Gas, Virginia Rail- way and Power and American Ex- press all of which broke through their previous 1924 high prices but failed to maintain their gains.
 Publication of the United States Steel Corporations thrilled tonnage figures for June shrowed a decrease of 365,6 tons, somewhat smaller than expected. This inspired a short lived buying movement, United States Steel common reaching a new peak on the cArrent movement at 1O11a in the early trhding but eventually falling back to 99% for a net loss of one point. Bald win and American Can closed about a
 N IzH al fractionafly.
 sFMrther cuts in crude oil and gaso- line prices were overshadowed by a sharp decline in crude production for the week ended July 5, and substan- tial increase in gasoline consumption, but most of the oil shares reacted in sympathy with the general list. Su- pSrior showed independent strength as a result of a decision awarding the company a judgment of $S,50O,OOO against the Atlantic Refining company, equivalent to nearly $4 a share on Su- perior's outstanding stock.
 Marked heaviness developed in a number of the tobacco shares. Ameri. can Tobacco breaking nearly 5 points and General Cigar, Lorillard, and Philips Morse losing 2 to 31a points.
 Losses of a point or more also were quite common in the railroad group, one of the most conspicuous being the Searboard Aid Line preferred.
 Call money again ruled at 2 per cent. Time and commercial paper markets were dull with no change in rates.
 Foreign exchange rates improved slightly in reflection of the more hope ful feeling regarding a reparations set clement. Demand sterling advanced % of cent to $4.343a, and French francs ruled about points higher at 5.10 cents.

DRY GOODS

NEW YORK, July 1o.-More general demand was noted in cotton goods lines today, but transactions continued small and were largely confined to deliveries wanted in the next few weeks. More contract orders on fine cotton goods were being placed, looking toward spring 1925 fabrics. Burlap markets showed no change. Fine cloakings for fall were advancing from low points following steadier sales. Silks held steady, with the demand better for un- derwear fabrics and for the better grades of al-silk dress fabrics. Job bers report a better demand for inne diate deliveries.

NEW YORK. July 10.-- Shaking off early hesitation, bond prices forged ahead, with high-grade issues leading the advance. Independent weakness, however, was shown by a number oe speculative rail and industrial liena
 Buying orders today embraced a wide list of high-priced railroad securities, Delaware and Hudson refunding As, both of which advanced point.
 Profit taking, however, reduced the gains of public utility obligations, as stocks of these companies failed to maintain their early strength.
 The improved tone in the investment market was reflected in the ready sub scrtption of new bond issues which were offered today, although the volume was not large. ,

STOCK LETTER

NEW YORK. July 10.-We had a very active market today. Trading was on a liberal scale most of the day and the market was irregular, due to the fact that profit-talEing was going on on a fairly liberal scale. Here and there the demand was good; but, as a rule, buy CTS were waiting for concessions. Any setback which may be experienced at this time, of course, will not interfere in any way with the underlying trend. But 1t is well to consider that no one expects business improvement in general for several months; and, as the market has already anticipated improvements by a very substantial advance during the past four weeks, a little caution at this time is entirely in order.-John F, Clark 6 Co.

CnrTnN sEEn nII.

NEW YORK, July 1O.-Another sharp rise took place in cotton seed oil today occasioned by an urgent demand from shorts and commission houses following the advance in lard and reports of a better cash demand for both oil and compound. The close was 10 to IS points net higher. Sales, 2S,10O. Prime crude, 9.50c, nominal; prime summer yellow, spot, 1.4Oc bid; July closed 11.35c; Sep tember, 11.22c; October, 10.40c, and De- cember, 9.36c, all bids.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-07-11

NEW YORK, July 10.-Considerable trregularity developed in today's stock market, none of which could be directly connected with the democratic nomina- tiOns, but was rather more of an ad- justment or profit-talIing movement in some stocks, while others, which were subjected to individual influences such as short covering and pool operations, were moved upward for time. Publi- cation of the steel tonnage report show ing a decrease of about 365,O00 tons ought naturally to have been inter preted as bullish, but offerings rather exceeded the demand so that the stock finally closed lower than yesterday. Baldwin and American Can lost about one point each.-Fenner & Beane to Kahn & Virgin.
