TRADE ENORMOUS
ON CURB EXCHANGE
Tape Lags Behind in Flood Of
Buying-Record Deal
ings in Sight.
BY WILLIAM F. HEFFERNAN.
Dispatch 20 The star.

Special Dispatch 90 The star.
NEW YORK, April 12.-Following on
the heels of yesterdays active market,
another wave of buying swept through
the Curb Exchange today, carrying
prices in many instances to the highest
in the history. The volume of business
was so great that shortly after noon the
tape ran as much as 81 minutes behind
transactions on the floor. The market
gave every indication of exceeding the
record of l,l27000 shares established
March l6 when Marconi Co. of Cana
da made up large portion of the days
dealings.
The character of the trading today,
however, differed from that when the
previous record was marked up, in that
the buying broadened and centered in
no particular issue. AS a group. public
utilities held first place in the proceed
ings.
New Highs Abound.
New high records abounded in this
quarter, with American Super-Power
issues, United Light &; Power, Elec-
trio Investors. Lehigh Power & South
eastern Power among those to reach
their best. Puget Sound Power &
Light shot forward rapidly to another
new top. the buying apparently based
on belief that the stock was out OF line
on an earnings basis.
So enormous was the flood Of buying
orders In Wire Wheel Corporation stock
at the outset that 1t was only after q
conference on the floor that 1t was
possible to open the market for the
stock. Then q block of $500 shares
changed hands at "a. after which the
price rose to q new high above 35. The
demand was accompanied by reports
that a temporary Injunction had been
granted In the suit brought by the COM
pany alleging infringement of patent
rights against other wheel manufac-
turers.
Creole Syndicate at New Top.
Creole Syndicate featured the oils in
point of activity and reached its best
prices for the year. Now a subsidiary
of Standard OF New Jersey, 1t is In a
position to exploit its huge acreage In
South America.
Northwest Engineering, Mengel Co.
Evans class "B." Warner Brothers Pic
lures and Checker Cab were Others TO
reach new tops for the year. Aggres-
siye operations for the rise also resulted
in new tops In Rubberoid. Sparks With
ington, Marmon. Aluminium Company OF
America, Industrial Rayon and Deere
common, Fajardo Sugar and U. 8. l..
Battery.
Some reaction occurred from the high
prices and In several cases late profit
taking carried prices back over all the
ground gained.

POTOMAC ELECTRIC
WINS TAX APPEAL
appellate Court UphoIds De-
CiSion Power Lines Not
ASSesSabIe as Realty.

The District Commissioners today lost
their appeal III the District Court OF
Appeals from a decision Of the District
Supreme Court that the poles, wires.
conduitS and lamps Of the Potomac
Electric Power Co. are not aSSeSSable
rs real estate. The opinion of the ap-
pellate tribunal was written by Justice
Josiah A Van OrSdel and atiirnlS the
decision Of the lower court
Assessment was made and taxes we're
levied for the years 1917 to 1926, inclu-
Sive. and the power company sued for
their cancellation and was sustained in
the lower court. The company Claimed
tha: the act OF 1902 requiring it to pay
tax Of per cent Oh its gross earnings
was meant 10 inc,ude all the property
Of the company not otherwise taxable
and covered the poles and con6u!tS To-
Gated on Government property.
The court admits that there is con-
iiict Of authority as 10 the exact status
Cf such property Of corporations il
some States but points out that the
Law cf the District provides that all
real estate shall be assessed in the
name O. the owner on a valuation TO be
determined as 10 each separate tract or
lot q land. With the improvements
thereon. ana says !: would require "a
stretch ot the imagination" 10 apply
this statute 10 the poles. conduits. wires
and lamps q the company erected upon
the N0n-;aXab,e property OF the United
States.
The court concludes that the per
cent tax on the gross earnings is I'M
cucst3onabIy imposed FOR the purpose OF
embracing all property Of the company
not otherwise taxable under the laws of
the District. The point also is made
that no tax was attempted TO be levied
before 1917. and the authorities having
regarded the property as non-taXable as
real estate Is "cotemporaneous con-
St-ucti0n OF great perSuasiveness and
no doubt was relied upon by Congress
IN passing the act Of 1902" the court
finds
