In making out income-tax returns
business men are taking more pains
toward accuracy than ever before. The
Bureau of Internal Revenue will scruti-
nize returns, which must be in now
within a little more than a fortnight,
with the utmost care.
The bureau Is closer to catching up
with its work than at any time since
the income tax was established and
can devote more time and attention to
discovery and punishment Of violations
than in the past.
Then, too, the wild furry of stock
speculation in 1929, in which people
in every walk of life were engaged, has
lent itself to attempts to beat the

likely to be successful, according to

the burden of proof, showing in each

FURTHER GAIN SEEN
IN STEEL INDUSTRY
Iron Trade Review Says Com
panieS Expect New Squirt
in March.

Iron and steel markets continue to
drift, with a slight touch of dispirited
manner this week, says Iron Trade Re-
view. Cleveland. The railroads are pro-
viding noteworthy specifications, es-
pecially at Chicago, but are making few
fresh commitments. Automobile pro-
duction Is lower. Building shows up
better in inquiries than awards. Easier
money conditions have failed thus far
to mature important pipe line projects.
Whatever increase February has de-
veloped in pig iron and steel ingot pro-
duction-and the prospects are next
weeks statistics will reveal a moderate
one-is due chiefly to the sharp Inn
provement early in the month and the
heavy backlogs Of railroad business at
Chicago. Deliveries are being extended
at Chicago, but mills at Pittsburgh,
Buffalo and Birmingham are barely
holding their own, while at YoungS-
town and Cleveland operating rates are
slightly lower.
The squirt of late January having
fiattened out, the industry now looks to
late March or early April to develop
another. Even moderate retail demand
tory schedules, as no stocks are being
accumulated. The usual Spring re-
quirements for iron and steel for out
door purposes seem certain to provide
some impetus. Hopes of steady up
ward march have been dissipated, but
an upturn comparable to the Spring Of
1927 or 1923 is not improbable.
Some interest in second-quarter ma
terial is manifested. In pig iron, a few
sales have been made for that delivery
at current prices. The first second quar-
ter sheet inquiry is out at Detroit. Unless
specifications for finished steel rise
sharply in the next two weeks-and
there are no indications of thiS-the
carry-over of tonnage into the new
quarter will be comparatively heavy and
may handicap producers in their eff
forts to advance prices.
Tin plate demand Is surprisingly
heavy. Many consumers of cans have
reordered, and some important manu-
facturers of tin plate are booked prac-
tically full through the season, into June
and July. It Is apparent that the early
advent of Winter last November has
depleted stocks of canned goods. Struc-
tural steel awards this week totaled
about 36,675 tons. compared with "a
405 tons last week and $4,000 tons q
year ago. Probably $500 freight cars
are pending. Sharper competition for
pig iron business in March is indicated
by furnace interests lack of orders to
carry them through this quarter.

leading iron and steel products has
gone through the last week of January
and the four weeks of February un-
changed at 1854 Last February this
index averaged $36.28.
