NEW YORK, August 21.-Here
and there some slight, improvement
i'm the volume of demand for steel
was reported during the week. but
as rule the trade was not show
ing expected seasonal revival and
mill production remained moderate.
Prices, with few exceptions, were
steady. There was more attention
given to the coal situation and some

ters reported industrial bituminous
stocks as depleted to some extent.
Coal prices We're advanced moderate
ly at Pittsburgh. Pig iron was steady
and the demand again moderate.
Copper has been unsettled. Buyers
generally continued to hold off and
further price shading was reported
with rumors that small lots were
obtainable as low as 13 cents during
the early week. Producers. however,
have refused TO follow the decline
below 1873, apparently. while some
of them have been holding firm for
1874, or even 1895. and the market
showed a somewhat better tone yes
terday, when it looked as if holders
were tightening up and more inquiry
was in evidence. The lower export
prlce brought in some demand from
abroad.
Tin declined early in the week, and
this was followed by a recovery.
Consumers were reported to have
bought a fair amount on the upturn.
Lead quotations were reduced by
leading producers apparently to cor
respond with the easier trend abroad.
Consuming demand was moderate.
Zinc was slightly easier. but lead
ing producers were not pressing the
market.
Antimony was higher and there
was some consuming interest for
September and October. Demand
was reported as largely from dealers.

Noted Statis.ician Advises Conservative Policy
 for Next Year

WELLESLEY, Mass, Sept 20. A year of possible establishments was forecast for 1928 by Roger w. Babson, statistician in open ing his 14th annual business con ference here today.
 Babson declared that the con- dition of the business world today constituted an unprecedented para dox with declining interest rates coinciding with declining commo- dity prices. Heretofore, he said, low interest has never been fol- lowed by panic but on the other hand, low commodity prices have always spelled the absence of prospecity.
 The explanation, he found. was in the "excess in the United States of everything except re- ligion." Business volume was good but competition so severe and efficiency so low that profits were very small.
 A decisive reaction from "pres- ent excessive stock speculation was D. Adicted with the warning that when the market really breaks. it will go off from forty to fifty points"
 He said he was advising clients to take a conservative position both in business and investments. I've arc in a period when wise manufacturers, merchants and in- vestors will get out of debt and store Up financial, physical and spiritual resources" he conclud- ed.

a decrease of 3 per cent for the year.
 An interesting sidelisht on the income tax receipts for the State of Washington (not including Al aska) shows that corporations pay approximately three times as much income tax as do the individuals. The receipts for 1927 show the collections from corporations to be $9,S72.374.50, and from individ- uals S3,319,923.14. In Alaska, how ever, the individuals pay more taxes than do the corporations. There are only a few districts where during the fiscal year 1927 individuals paid more income taxes than did the corporations. One of the exceptions to the rule is Flo rida; and the other are New Hampshire, New York and Dkla- homa.

There have been certain cuts made by Congress resulting in not nearly so many persons B heretofore filing returns yet with more people relieved from paying income tax" said MT. Poe. the receipts showed an increase.
 'The personal exemption since January 1925 has been $500 for a single person and SS500 for a married person living with hus. band or wife. as compared with S1000 and S2500 respectively. The normal income tax rates on re- turns of individuals have been reduced from per cent, De. cent and per cent, to 11a Der cent, per cent and 5 per cent. The surtax rates range from 1 per cent on net income in excess of $10,000 to maximum of 20 per cent on net income in excess of $100,000, as compared with maximum of 40 per cent on net income in excess of $500,000.
 "The corporation income tax collected during the first half of the fiscal year 1927 was at the rate of 13 per cent, and during the last half of the fiscal year 1927 was at the rate of 1872 per cent"
 The Collector of Internal Re venue formerly collected great many Special Taxes. Congress has cut them down so that the so- called nuisance taxes" are getting fewer each year. Less money is consequently collected from Spe- cial Taxes. Therefore the money collected by Mr. Poe from all sources under internal revenue laws, for the fiscal year, amount ed to $14,001, ,415.51, which was

PARK TAX CUT
BLOW TO JARVIS
Calls Levy Drastic Hamper
to Fairgrounds Work.

r. Walter Jarvis, superintendent
of parks and recreation, today char
acterized the reduction of the park
levy from OTIS to 0525 by city coun-
Gil Monday night as a drastic
blow"
The slash was believed an inten-
tional slap at the park board since
there has been friction between the
department ana several majority
councilmen.
Jarvis said the department will
receive about $108,500 less than last
year and that the department was
"cramped" before the cut. The
board spent last year about 1922, $50,
of which $4,000 was raised by
taxes.
1.-THE program of the entire de-
partment will have to be curtailed
and the park splans will be seriously
crippled" declared John E. Minor,
park president.
Minor pointed out ITO employees
had been dropped in the last two
months because Of lack of funds.
Several things which Minor said
the slash would hit are: Curtail-
ment of all improvements. park de-
velopments, walks and drives IN
Pleasant Run Blvd; drop of Chris
tian Park improvements; halt plans
for new park at Thirty Fourth and
Dearborn SITS, Garfield Lagoon
plans and swimming pool program
will be cramped At least four
community centers will be closed
next year.
