Chicago. Feb. 1.-tR-The city to-
day began paying off some bills and
some employes-in scrip.
Tax anticipation warrants, bearing
the signatures Of Mayor Thompson
and Deputy Controller Victor PETER
son were made available to police,
firemen and. other employees who ex-
pressed & willingness to take their
back pay in this manner.
There was no general issuances Of
the warrants, however. Those who
wanted to be paid with scrip were
obliged to appear at the comptroller's
office and request them. The problem
Of caShing the warrants rested en-
tirely with those who received them.
In cases where employees found them
selves financially able to retain the
tax warrants, they possessed paper
calling for six per cent interest.
Although 1t was pay day for school
teachers, they received no money. H.
Wallace Caldwell, president Of the
school board, Is in New York City
seeking money to meet the school
payrolls. The total now due the
teachers, who have not been paid
since Christmas eve, exceeds 1885,
600.
Issuance of. tax anticipation war
rants In the manner began today has
been opposed by the strawn citizens
relief committee on the grounds that
warrants distributed In small denom-
nations probably would be sold by
needy employees at a discount. thereby
hurting the city's chances Of selling
large blocks Of warrants to the CONF
mlttee's rescue pool or to banks.
Several department stores have In
dicated they will accept the warrants
ct face value. It also was believed
that many banks will do likewise -
to veteran clients. and that
others will arrange to make cash
loans with the warrants as security.
New efforts to have Gov, Emmer-

afford relief to city and county were
made yesterday In separate petitions

CHICAGO, February (P.-Large
increase in the amount of wheat on

selling to Great Britain, caused sharp
setbackS in wheat values early today
Export business in North American
wheat over the week end was nil.
Opening at 13s to 25sa234 off, Chicago
wheat later dropped little further and
then rallied somewhat. Corn and oats
were also weaker, with corn starting "a
to q down, and subsequently continu-
ing to sag. Provisions advanced.
Putting heavy weight on wheat val
ueS today was announcement that sup
plies of wheat afloat for Europe are now
100000 bushels larger than q week
ago, making a total enlargement of
100000 bushels in the last month.
Furthermore, export offers from Russia
and France were asserted to be con-
tinuing, and additional purchases of
Russian wheat by Great Britain were
confirmed. Official advices that the
amount of wheat remaining on farms
in the United States is 50,000,000
bushels less than the total a year ago
failed to act as counterbalance.
Latest Russian sales of wheat to
Great Britain are stated to have been
at price apparently below that of
Argentine wheat and of No. hard
Winter wheat from the United States.
However, the Russian wheat is sold on
sample, and correct gauge of the
equivalent IS difficult. Meanwhile, stocks
of wheat at Liverpool today although
slightly less than last week, are given
as 1864 900 bushels, compared with
l,52O,00 bushels at this time last year.

AooOSAabS0
Profits from short-turn speculation
realized by Americans in 1928 and re-
ported in their 1929 income tax returns
ctually amounted to $2,943 200, 900.
They constituted more than 10 per cent
of the total individual income on Treas
ury-collected taxes last year and ex-
pressed the first result of the great
speculative boom in which the country
engaged prior to last Autumn.
The figures became available today
when the Bureau of Internal Revenue
set out its initial comprehensive set OF
statistics as to 1929 income tax collec-
tions. The total given is that which
individuals reported for income tax as
SeSsment, as profit from the sale of
real estate, stocks, bonds, ETC., other
than assets held more than two years. "
On the sale of securities held more
than two years recipients of large in
come are entitled to report stock mar
ket profits as gains of capital assets, on
which lower rate of tax may apply
than on straight income Thus there
is some ground for placing the total of
reported stock market profits of 1928
at much higher figure than the total
derived of the Short-term speculation
alone. During 1928 large income tax
payers reported 81 ,843, 339, 900 as profits
from the sale of assets held more than
two years and this made up 612 per
cent Of the total American income re-
ported for 1928.
In round figures, the addition of the
sums reported as capital gains to the
sums reported as profit from Short-term
speculation makes the 1928 speculative
gains amount to $4,700 900 900 and con-
stitute II per cent of the $28, 499, 600, 900
reported as taxable income.
Who got the 1928 speculative profits
is also disclosed in a rough sort of way
by the statistics. The taxpayers with
less than $1,000 of gross income for the
year took about one-tenth of the short
term speculative profits, or 1894 500, 900.
The taxpayers with incomes between
SIS, 900 and $4,000 for the year reported
speculative profits of 100000 or
between $700 and $500 apiece. There
were 265, 900 persons last year who paid
income tax on incomes above $4,000
and under $4,000, and this was rela-
lively the luckiest group in the market,
having total speculative profits of
$699 ,038,000, or better than $4,000
apiece on the average. This last group
owed one-fifth Of its total income to
speculative profits, above the SIS, 900 in
come mark, the capital gains element
which also presumably involves Specula-
tion--became the largest factor in 1925
income tax collections.

NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK, February (P.-The
cotton market opened steady today at
decline of IA to 19 points in response
to renewed liquidation which followed
relatively easy Liverpool cables. Houses
with Liverpool connections were sellers
here and the selling became more &C.
tive as prices slipped off after the call.
March declined to 1884, and october
to 1878 These figures represented net
losses of 25 to 90 points and the mar
ket was still rather nervous and UNI
settled at the end of the first half
hour.
Apparently the covering of late last
week had eased the technical position
to some extent, and there also appeared
to be reselling by recent buyers for a
rally. Liverpool cables reported some
Bombay buying in that market, but
said the demand had been supplied by
hedging and continental liquidation;
also that business in cotton cloth and
yarn was restricted.
