NEW YORK, Dec. l. P)-Pronounced
reactionary tendencies developed in
today's stock market after an early
display of strength While a tempor-
ary setback was widely predicted in
commission house circles as result
Of the rapidity of the recent advance,
today's selling also was influenced, in
part by the raising of the call money
rate from to AZ per cent coincident
with the calling of about $25000 900
in loans, and the publication of the
new Ford price list, reviVing fears of
further price cutting and increased
competition in the automotive indus
try. ,,
Once again the machinery of the
stock exchange creaked under the vol
ume of orders which poured into the
market, The ticker fell IS minutes
behind the market around lnid-day
and was slightly later than that after
the market closed in recording the
final quotation. There were TOT in
dividual issues traded in, new high
record, but the days sales fell slightly
below those of yesterday.
The weekly federal reserve report of
market, showed an increase of $329,-
563, 900, much smaller than generally
expected, although it brought the total
to another new high record at $3,-
510,849, 900 compared with $2646, $685.
600 year ago.
Heavy selling came INFO General
Motors as result of the widespread
distribution of comparative prices of
the new Ford and Chevrolet models,
but offerings were fairly well absorbed
and the stock closed only 112 points
net lower at 1891. Dupont, which
sold ex-dividend $6.75 today, closed
nearly points lower at 316. Chrysler,
Dodge and Hudson, all of which are
likely to be affected by Ford competi-
ton, sold off l to 2ls points. Nash
advanced more than point and Hupp
sold nearly 8 points higher, but for
feited most of it's gain.
Selling pressure in the industrial list
was particularly effective against such
issues as American Tobacco B. Mathie-
son Alkali Montgomery Ward, Nation
al Biscuit, Radio, Stewart-Warner,
Timken Roller Bearing, U. S. Steel
common and Warren BroFt, all Of
which sold off 212' to points.

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, Dec. l (R-With first
December deliveries of all grain today
showing, less volume than had been
looked for, commission house demand
increased, and prices went sharply
higher. Unfavorable weather condi-
tions in Argentina higher Liverpool
quotations than due, and better export
call for North American wheat aided
the advance in wheat values. Rye
established a new top price record for
the season.
Chicago closing prices on wheat were
unsettled, 1c to lac net higher. Rye
finished at 11sc to SIC gain, corn 11Sc
to &c up, oats showing 1Ac to lac
advance and provisions unchanged to
a rise of 32c.
Aggressive purchasing of the May
delivery of wheat by houses with east
ern connections was feature in the
wheat market here, and it was also
noted that North American export
business had picked up, to the extent
of 100000 bushels, whereas Argentine
wheat shipments for the last week
amounted to hardly third of the
previous weeks total. Wheat prices
were also bullishly affected by the fact
that previous sellers of rye were show
ing a right -about-face change in mar
ket position and had become active
bidders.
December rye at one time today
showed 41zc bushel advance, and all
deliveries of rye sold at new high
points for the 1927 crop. Barley also
made a new high mark here for the
season and highest prices yet for 1927
were noted as being bid at Kansas
City on kaffir corn and milo for ex-
port The immediate occasion for the
advance in rye was that no deliveries
whatever on December rye contracts
were made in Chicago today.
1t was pointed out by some authorit-
les today that any deterioration in
Argentine wheat quality during the
harvest now going on might develop a
much stronger European demand for
good quality United States hard and
winter wheat. Gulf premiums were
strong today with offerings light, and
there was talk current of likelihood

CONVINCED THEY
GO in THE HOLE,
HE'D SEEN PROOF

One slow-going visitor to BiSbee
pulled a wise crack yesterday that
brought grin from wooden Indian
in front of cigar store and, there
for, it must have been fairly good.
Here's how: a.--ass-..,--s-e--
With some companions, the visitor
had just been out to take a view
of the mine on Sacramento hill
which, in fact, is merely a great
hole caused by the copper company
digging out and carrying away the
top of the mountain. Talk drifted
to the question of copper production
and the possibilities of the copper
companies making money at current
levels Of metal prices. One insisted
that the talk of the companies that
they were losing money was 'the
bunk" as he put it, while another
declared that with copper metal
under IA cents the average company
suffered a loss in operating, if profits
depended wholly on copper. Then
the visitor broke loose.
"Well.' he draWled. IT can't see
that there need be any argument
about this matter. We've just had
evidence that one of the biggest
copper companies in the country is
away in the hole and to me that
settles it. They can go in the hole
with copper at the present levels"

allowance. The allowance for depre-
citation is intended to cover the esti-
mated Iessening in value of the orig
inal property, due to the wear and
tear, decay, etc, which, in time will
require the abandonment or replace
ment of the property, in spite Of ordi-
nary current repairs. The cost OF in
cidental repairs, which neither mate
rally add to the value of the property
nor appreciably prolong its life, may
be deducted as business expense
provided the plant or property account
is not increased by the amount of such
expenditures.
If. however, the repairs are of such
kind as to make good the depreciation,
for example, a new floor or q new
roof, the cost is not deductible. The
amount expended by taxpayer dur

ments, requirements, or renewals of
permanent nature is a capital expendi-
ture, and may not be deducted from
his gross income for such taxable year
The amount so expended should be
charged directly to the property ac-
count or to a depreciation reserve ac-
count, according to how depreciation
charges are treated in the taxpayers
books Of account. A pro rata ppr-

Some of the insurgents in the House

extended them to the Republican
caucus February 21.
ACCESSIBILITY of attending the caucus
was touched upon at a meeting yes
terday of the Wisconsin delegation to
arrange for a memorial service to be
held for the late Senator La Toilette
a week from Sunday.
Although the subject was mentioned
only in passing, it developed later
that several have been giving con-

A number of the group fear that
by attending the caucus they auto
matically would be bound to party
regularity and, while they would like
to participate in the regular party
organization, they are reluctant to
take any steps that might curtail' their
freedom of action.
