Business Notes

NEW YORK, February 4.-Rug and
carpet divisions of the floor coverings
industry are said to be showing greater
activity as result Of restored conf
dence in prices. Buyers, according to
trade reports are inclined to accept
the stability of prices as an established
fact and are, therefore, purchasing on
a more liberal scale
A moderate advance in burlap prices
has followed speculative purchases in
Calcutta, tAs2d on the Far Eastern con-
fiiCt. 1t IS reported in trade circles This
movement. however, has been without
effect so far on the spot market, which
continues very quiet.
Manufacturers report an increase in
merchandise buying in the wholesale
markets here as a natural development
in connection with the increased buyer
arrivals over the past week. While the
improvement in activity is considerable,
the volume Of buying does not compare
favorably with that of last year, 1t Is
said. From the standpoint of units as
well as dollar volume orders for Spring
apparel are tending to run about two
weeks behind the corresponding period
a year ago, 1t Is claimed.

MANY AUTOS SCRAPPED.
" the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
The Department Of Commerce has
estimated that an average of 2,639,653
motor vehicles were scrapped annually
during the period from 1928 to the end
of 1890.
In general, the department said.
scrappage runs at about the rate of
production seven or eight years prior
to the year of calculation. Scrappage
for 1923, 1929 and 1880 amounted to
7,918,973 units against available new
cars for the year 1921 to 1923, num-
bering 7,754055.
1t was also said that we are now in
a period where annual scrappage might
average as high as 3,5000OO units, p?o-
Wded the average life of cars does not
lengthen. On the other hand, if cars
are now being maintained in use for a
longer period, which Is held possible
scrappage may not have continued dur
ing 1891 at the 1880 rate, which was
2906,918 units.
The department noted that the num-
Der OF scrapped vehicles once declined
in two successive years, 1920 end 1921
during preceding period of serious
business depression, which resultsi in
increasing the average life per motor
vehicle from 5.65 at the END of 1919 to
6,63 at the end Of 1921.

Business Outlook.

NEW YORK, February CSpeciaD -
The small hopes held out for improve
ment in the business situation in the
next six months COunteraCtS, from a
stock market standpoint, the benefits
of such agencies as the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation and the ultimate
improvement in credit, and possibly in
industrial development, through a de-
flation in wages January witnessed a
new low level in the business index
with less than seasonal recovery in most
of the major industries.
The statement of President Sloan of
the General Motors Corporation that
there is no definite improvement as
yet indicated in the economic trend is
viewed by Wall Street as being in line
with what had previously been en-
phasized by the arrangements of United
States Steel and Bethlehem Steel when
they changed the dividend status of
their common stocks last week. The
Street feels that business could be i'm
mensely improved if the banks would
loosen up IN their credit aCCOmmOda-
tons and the situation of the munich
palities could be bettered

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK, February 4.-Most
brokerage house comment continues in
decisive Some observers today thought
the current dullness might be forecast
ing a rally; others looked for lower
prices.
jackson Bros, Boesel & Cove see
no evidence of pressing liquidation and
lean to the view that a moderate up
turn is a probability for the near fu-
ture 1t will take considerable back
ing and filling, however, before broad
advance can materialize. 1t seems log
ical to assume that a broad advance
will be delayed until all Of the annual
reports of the major industrial COM
panies have been published.
Shields & Co.-The best to be hoped
for now is that the market will COLI
tinue its slide to a level where real
long-pull investment accumulation will
result in gradual stabilization. Each
false interruption Of the downward
trend results in worse psychology than
before and, while presenting trading
opportunities. usually are too danger
Gus to be followed.
Redmond & Cove still see moth
ing in the picture to alter our opinion
that the main trend Of prices is down
ward and would continue to avoid all
rallies based on hopes Of any substan-
tial improvement in Spring business.
EFF Hutton g. Co.-The stock mar
ket is at a very critical juncture at
the moment, as it hoverS not far above
its January lows. Admittedly, cur
rent business reports are unfaVorable
and the immediate outlook for an eX-
pansion in trade and industry is not
promising, However, the stock mar
ket is so thoroughly liquidated, and
pessin1ism is so universal that sharp
technical rally is very likely.
Paine, Webber & Co.-Firming up
Yesterday was not in the nature OF a
rally, and definite indications OF rally
are still lacking Such a movement
could gain but little headWay with
out the rails, and the latter are likely
10 encounter considerable difficulty IN
penetrating the overhanging congested
trading area formed during the past
three weeks.
Baar, Cohen g. Co.-From technical
standpoint, we believe the market is
iockeying itself into a position where
going through the best prices of earlier
this week would signal more sub
stantial upswing lasting probably 10
days or two weeks before running into
any sizable setback.
Thomson g. McKinnon-Now that
the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton is set up and funds available, there
should be no fear of any sound bank
closing. If confidence can be restored
there need be no runs on banks and de-
poSits will be returned. This is vita
factor in any credit expansion program
We can ali help in that respect

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 4.-Bonds
were irregular today in quiet trading.
The market opened with a steady
tone. The situation at Shanghai was
still viewed with concern, but the SELL
ing of Japanese bonds slackened. jap
aneSe government 512s and 6l2s were
both narrowly lower. Toho Electric
Power IS were off fractionally. Yoko-
hama 6S and Toxic 512s, however, were
firm.
German government issues moved
higher, chiefly because of the manner
in which Great Britains advocacy OF
reparationS cancellation was received
on the Continent. 1t is now thought
that the June conference on repara-
tionS and war debts will have a good
chance of arriving at a constructive
agreement. German Government 512s
rose fractionally, while Dawes Repara-
tions Is were turned over in good VOL
ume at about point gain. PrusSian
6s were firm. German bank deScrip-
tons were off narrowly. Most other
Europeans were unchanged.
New South Wales SIS continued their
advance. Local representatives of the
Australian government reiterated the
recent official assurance of the Aus
trallan prime minister that the Feb
ruary interest on New South Wales
5s will positively be paid" within a
few days. Australia 5s. Sydney SIPS
and Queensland 6S and Is we're also
higher
United States Government long
term descriptions were again somewhat
heavy, though the declines we're gen.
orally held under = point.
In the domestic lict tho ,,,oc+ ootiyo
group were the New York City trac-
tions, such as Interborough refunding
5s, Interborough 6s and Is, BROOKLYN
Manhattan Transit 6S and Manhattan
Railway as. All were sharply higher
following reports that plans are being
formulated TO go ahead with the Tran
sit Commissions unificatiOn plan, which
would involve adoption of higher fare.
The railroad list moved erratically.
A few bonds, which considering in
trinSiC worth are good Investment bar
gains. were higher. These included
Northern Pacific 6s, Southern Railway
6l2s, New York Central AIS and
AtchiSon AIS. Little interest was dis
played in other carrier bonds, many of
which had small declines. Industrials
were also uneven. High-grade utilities
and the prime rails we're firm.
bOndS opened hcSltantIy, but prices
held steady in the face Of Far Eastern
developments.
Japanese issues were steady. British
2s were firm. Most Europeans we're
a shade higher The German group
reflected the general Steadiness.
In the domestic list prices were little
changed. Active railroad issues like
Missouri Pacific general As, Southern
Pacific Alps, New York Central 4 IS
and Western Maryland As showed the
markets indisposition to move in either
direction pending developments abroad
United States Government issues we're
active again, with small declines oc
curing in some Of the longer dated
treasures.

ILLINOIS INCOME
TAX FIGHT IS SEEN
Opposition to Law Expressed
Prior to Signature of
Governor.
BY OWEN L. SCOTT,
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Srecal Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO February with execu-
tive approval almost assured, Illinois
today stood as the eighteenth State to
adopt an income tax in an effort to
tighten partially the load on real estate.
Under terms Of the prospective new
law the State would raise from 800
100000 to $50000000 through rates
ranging from l to per cent on in
comes above $1,000 for single indi-
VidualS and 50 500 for married persons.
In opposing the tax the solid Chicago
delegation claimed that f1ve-sixths Of
the revenue raised by it would come
from Cook County.
Fight on Law Planned.
A bitter court fight against the law
is expected as soon as it gets on the
statute books. Legal lights are about
evenly divided on the constitutionality
Of tax on income in Illinois.
The effect of the long battle Waged
to place levy against earnings in this
State has been to make more bitter
the antagonism between Chicago and
doWn-State. Taxpayers here cry against
what they call the continued effort to
milk them for the benefit of the rural
districts. Their anger has been height
ened by the fact that no reapportion-
ment Of legislative strength has been
effected since 1900 although in the
meantime the population center has
been shifted completely. Chicago now
is entitled to more than half Of the
legislative districts, but actually now
has to content herself with about 40
per cent
This fundamental conflict over con-
troll between the big city and the re-
mainder of Illinois looms as one Of the
dominating issues Of State elections
this year.
One candidate for the governorship
has harked back to the experience Of
the convention which drafted a con-
stitution for the United States and pro-
poses to apply its lesson to Illinois. He
would give control of one House Of the
Legislature to the small districts, rep
resenting doWn-State, and control OF the
other House to Cook County. In that
way there would not be a complete
shift of control from rural to urban
hands.
AntagOnism Grows.
But at the moment antagonism to-
ward the big city of the State is being
heightened The Legislature, called
into a third special session to provide
funds for unemployment relief in Chi
CdSO, "IltTt voluntary ouDSSL 4kJI4OIAS
now are exhausted, is baking at any
use of State credit to help the city.
Bankers at the same time assert that
only with State backing can bonds be
1oated To pro,2ae money now needed
to feed tho reStitute.
So f-A down-State districts have the
upper hand and their successful effort
to put an income tax on the statute
books only compicates Chicago's legis-
lative problem.
