Utility Shares Irregular and Subject to Narrow Fluctuations

New York. Apg. 21 R-Curb stocks were heavy today.
 Efforts 10 extend the advance at the opening were checked by the bear element who resumed their selling operations with their offerings well taken on scale down. Trading was dull and toward midday a slightly easier tendency was in evidence.

SOCIETIES MAY PAY
 SUCCESSION TAX
Ruling That Philanthropic
 Groups Be Not Exempt

New Haven. Aug, 2t P-A new angle in the court proceedings which are expected to bring appli- cation to philanthropic societies of the ruling of the supreme court which held that such societies shall pay succession taxes to the state where there is possibility of such bodies being dissolved and their as sets distributed to members devel- oped in probate court yesterday.
 A case was before J. L. Gilson, probate judge, when the claim was made that societies receiving be- quests had asked for tax exemp tions on such gifts.
 Farwell Knapp Of the state tax com missioner's office was present to look after the states interests and he was asked by the court if the commissioners office felt that cities and towns should collect taxes on property given to charitable soci- cites which fall within the ruling of the court and he said such opinion was held. The state is interested in succession taxes.
 There are many organizations in the charitable and philanthropic category which have had their pro- perty exempt from local taxation. Assessors today estimated the value of such property to be several mil lion dollars and which amount is not put into the grand list.
 Judge Gilson has other cases such as heard yesterday in which the question Of taxation of bequests is to be passed upon and all cases probably will be covered in a single decision to be made, possibly a fort night hence.

Newest Bull Market Runs Into
 Difficulties While Stock Trading
 Degenerates Into Price Contest
Orders, for Most Part, Originate With Floor Traders" Best People" Shun Business.

New York, Aug. 21 LP)-Bears strangled the baby bull market in the stock exchange today, sending a wide assortment of shares down to 10 points.
 Trading continued of a highly pro- fessional nature, however, and neither selling or buying appeared in appreciable proportions from outside sources. Brokers said most of the days business originated with floor traders. The decline, however, was sharp enough to break up the check CT game in the exchange smoking room.
 The safety razor stocks were the most vulnerable, Gillette dropping about 10 points, but rails were also under sharp pressure, several issues selling at the lowest levels in recent years. Atchison. New York Central and Southern Railway lost to points. American Can, American Telephone and North American, General Motors, Radio, Radio Keith and Loews were well supported Warner Bros. sold around the years lowest. The closing tone was weak Total sales, however, were only about 1,750,00O shares.
 Losses of point or so embraced most of the important stocks by early afternoon.
 Called Propaganda
 What was characterized in many quarters as bear propaganda appear cd Tn the form Of various uncon- frmable rumors one having to do with the financial condition of an important company, into which prominent bankers have recently placed several millions after 8 thorough investigation which they say convinces them that the concern is in a sound and promising con- dition.
 Publication of the results of a poll of the country's bankers, show ing thirds looking for good bus mess by October, was used as a bull argument in sending stocks temporarily higher during the morn ing. A private survey of business prospects made for the officers of one of the worlds largest banks is said in banking circles to have in dicated that signs of improvement are already apparent, and that bus mess will return to normal early next year. A private survey con- ducted by nationwide utility system has also resulted in similar conclu- sions.
 The figures for electric power consumption for the second week of August were a little disappointing. Although the decline from the pre- vious week was negligible, seasonal trends would indicate an increase. In the rail July earnings reports, Nickel Plate made a distinctly un- favorable showing, owing to the slackness in the motor industry. Chesapeake and Ohio. however. showed onliy moderate decline from last year.
