CHICAGO GRAIN PRICES.

CHICAGO. January 17.-Fresh up
turns in the price of wheat took
place early today, owing largely to
indications of further export bust
ness and to assertions that Russia
would need to purchase 5000, 600
bushels of wheat for feeding pur-
poses. Wet weather in Argentina
delaying the crop movement there,
tended also to lift values, Trading
was on a large scale, and July and
September deliveries here established
a new top-price record for the sea
son. Opening prices, which ranged
from 81 to 2 higher, with May 1.S6
to 1.S7 and July 1.60 to 1.601a, were
followed by moderate additional
gains.
All deliveries of corn went above
the seasons best previous quota
tions. Buying on the part of houses
with country connections was the
Outstanding feature. After opening a
Il to l higher, May 1.349s to 1.3474,
corn continued to ascend.
Oats were responsive to the ad
vance in other grain. Starting at

which the tax is assessed, the tax
payer must first compute his gross in
come Regardless of the amount of
net income a return is required of
every individual whose gross income
for 1924 was $4,000 or more. Gross
income, as defined by regulations re-
lating to the income tax under the
revenue act of 1924, includes in gem
eral compensation for personal and
professional services, business income,
profits from sales of and dealings in

fully explained later.
Taxpayers may be divided into four
general classes-the wage Garner or

Word that the pesent acreage OF
Winter wheat in foreign countries is
13 per cent less than was harvested
by those countries in 1924 acted as
one of the numerous additional fac
