NEW YORK, Oct. 8. l. (AP) - Heavy
Weekend short covering, after five
consecutive days of steadily declining
prices, brought about an irregular re-
covery in todays stock market after q
temporary sinking spell which followed
the extreme break of about 81 bale
in cotton and the marking up of call
money rates Final quotations dis
closed fairly long list of gains, rang
ing from one to eight points, inter-
spersed with smaller number of SINH
lar declines. TIA
The break in cotton overshadowed
all other financial developments, be-
cause it was due to the publication of
a government crop estimate of 49,
$4,000 bales, compared with the pre-
vious record crop of 16,135,930 bales
produced in 1914. The low prices of
cotton attracted heavy buying by mill
owners with the result that sharp
rally set in, reducing the net loss on
the day to about $3.50 a bale.
With few exceptions, the rally in
stocks was not very impressive. Cen
eral Motors dropped from an early high
of 1919 to 1924, and then snapped
back to 1861 for a net gain of " on
the day. u. S. Steel common closed

being down to 1443s, some of the late

ber# Company was one of the outstand-
, ing individual strong spots, rallying

as IS, as against a low of 39R earlier
in the year on reports of large current
earnings. Loose Wiles Biscuit jumped
7b points on few sales. Substantial
gains also were recorded by the Burns
Brothers issues, Cash Threshing Ma
chine, Dupont, Marine preferred and
U. S. Cast Iron Pipe. Local fractions
were again in good demand. Montgom-
cry Ward improved fractionally on the
inauguration of dividends. Erratic fluc-
tuations took place in Warner Pictures
"a, which opened at GIN, advanced to
63a, broke to 57S4 and closed at 5S for
a net loss of 3h points. Pathe broke
over six points to new low at AN,
and American Republic collapsed eight
points on one sale to new minimum
at AZ.
Rails received better support than
the industrials. Sharp recoverieS took
, place in Chesapeake & Ohio, Pittsburgh
! 81 West Virginia, Nickel Plate and
Delaware & Hudson.
Active wheat futures declined about

decline in cotton. Raw Sugar was un-
changed, and coffee prices e as e d
slightly.
Call money renewed at Az per cent
and then advanced to 5 as banks called
about $2O,O00,00O in loans in order to
strengthen their reserve position over

wealth of the state is escaping taxation and that
the increased cost of government is continually

burden of taxation equitably: to secure constt

thorough scientific study of the problem and
through it develop sound tax program for egis-

The statement made by A. S. Goss, president of the
Washington Tax Equalization Council is that one
bond house in Seattle sold $20000,O0O worth oil
bonds last year and that there 40 bond houses
in Seattle besides every bank in town selling bonds
The sales of this one form of intangbes runs into
the hundreds of millions of dollars each year and
not one cent of taxes is borne by this great class
of wealth.
"Nost states reach it," Mr.. Goss continued. In
California the income from such intangibles is
taxed at the rate of per cent II a man has a
$780, per cent bond, his income is 50 year and
he pays 35 cents taxes and this form OF wealth
contributes a very substantial sum to CALIFORNIA;

"At the outset of my campaign had to decide
between using a mailing bureau to reach the voters
of the state or to take newspaper advertising

Usual Program

As is the custom, the only major action in order during the brief ses- sion of the opening day. was the appointment of committees formally to notify the president that con- gress was in session, and ready to receive his recommendations The executives annual message will be ready tomorrow and then will begin the real work of the session, with appropriation. bills holding right of way.
 The procedure in the two houses today was virtually identical. The opening prayer was followed by a roll call. and by the swearing in of new members. Then came the desig- nation of the titular leaders of both parties to go to the White House at p. m., and inform the president that congress was in session. Ad- journment for the day was out of respect for the late Senator Cum mins of Iowa and Fernald of Maine.
 Home- Coming Celebration
 In both house and senate floors the scene took on the character of an old time homecoming" celebra- ton.
 Members stolled about, shaking hands, laughing and talking and skipping each other on the back.
 The galleries contained many per sons of national prominence. Alice Roosevelt Longworth. wife of the speaker, saw her husband bring the retary Kellogg. formerly a senator from Minnesota, walked about greet ing old friends and colleagues.

 Garages reaped a harvest, wreck ing cars being at premium for tow ing service. Accessories dealers sold hundreds of sets of chains to auto ists who had not prepared for win ter's driving difficulties, and dena- tured alcohol and anti-freezng solu- tons for radiators were sold in huge quantities. Many of the service sta lions which ordinarily close their doors early in the evening were kept on duty until late at night servicing cars, One of the larger dealers re- ported two of his men were unable ii come to work yesterday, both having synthetic jags' from the fumes of hundreds of gallons of de- naturcd alcohol poured into water tanks.

GERMANY FINANCES
 SECOND PAYMENT
Obligation Under Dawes Plan Met on Scheduled Date

Berlin, Dec. R-From her own resources Germany hU punctually met her second annual payment in conformity with the Dawes .repara- ton plan. Seymour Barker Gilbert. Jr, agent general for reparation payments, in his annual report says the execution of the Dawes plan
 proceeded normally during the sec ond annuity year and that payments l totalling in exact terms 1.166, 4,-
 574 gold marks were received from Germany during the period from
 September 1, 1925, 10 August 31, i 1926.

 amounting to 15,3oS.o0O gold marks. The report says that during the
 second annuity year Germany calmly passed through a trying period of
 readjustment which, beginning in
 the first annuity year. reached pro- 1 portions of serious business crisis
 by the winter of 1925-26.
 The German budget, the report
 shows, continues sound as to bal
 ance. though it is asserted the ne- cessity for internal borrowings Is
 considered possible. This Is the
 first reliable statement forthcoming
 regarding the German budget. The
 rev tax program is proving en- i couragingly productive. but it Is sug-
 gested that in view of the experience
 of the past year there is need of
 greater moderation in expenditures

LEAdUE COUNCIL
 MEETING OPENS
Germany to Ask Definite Date for Withdrawal

Geneva, Switzerland, Dec. 6 P- Germany will make a determined effort before her delegates leave Geneva to secure a definite agree ment upon an early date for cessa- ton of the interallied military con- trol
 This declaration was made to the Associated Press today by a member of the German delegation at the end of the first meeting of the 43rd session of the league of nations council
 Bitterness among the German peo- pie over the interallied control Is steadily growing the spokesman continued, and the question must be reckoned with as even more import ant than that of reducing the army of occupation in the Rhineland.
 Moreover. Germany will insist upon modification of the project to invest the league with the right to investigate German armaments, which it is expected will be sub stituted for the interallied control.
 The council convened at 11:45 a. m. under the chairmanship of For eign Minister Vandervelde of Bel sium and, after disposing of routine matters. adjourned until afternoon.
 It was deemed significant that Foreign Minister Stresemann of Ger many did not insist, as was expect cd. upon immediate discussion of the plan for investigation of German armaments by the league.
 He thus created the impression that he hopes to secure concessions in the private conversations which will be pursued outside the council Failing to get what he wants there, he undoubtedly will push the mat ter publicly iii the council.
