NEW YORK. April 13-United States
Government bonds advanced strongly
again today, reaching new high prices
for the year. but the general list after
opening narrowly higher. showed little
inclination to follow them. Foreign
issues were steady.
The market opened irregularly higher,
with a few volatile domestic issues ad-
vancing l to points, while the large
body of bonds Jagged. The Federal Re-
serves plan to increase its weekly pur-
chases of Government bonds from S25,-
600 900 to SIS 900 000 WIS the obvious
factor behind the strength in treasures
and Liberties Although the Federal Re-
serve has probably not begun this active
boosting of Governments, the announce
ment was enough to cause investors de-
sirous of selling corporation securities
and buying taX-eXempt Governments
and municipals to speed up their switch
ing plans.
There were gain of u to y point in
all active long-term Treasury loans.
The municipal list, which has yet to
pause in the upturn started by the
threat of heavier income taxes, con-
tinued to advance. The demand from
those seeking to evade taxes is so great
that even the prospect of huge Treasury
financing incidental to the soldiers
bonus bill, or any compromise on it, is
ignored as a market factor.
Along with this buying there was a
continued stream of liquidation in cor
poration bonds of both high and low
degree. Some of the highest class have
now reached levels at which important
support has been encountered, and this
has operated to prevent undue declines.
American Telephone SIS, although still
being sold in slzeable blocks. find active
bidders around 9634 to 81 and have
persistently refused to break below that
level Nevertheless the selling today
caused fractional losses in Consolidated

GRAIN FUTURES
SHOW STRONG
TRADING RANCE
Wheat Bought on Forecast
of Reductions in New
Crop.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, Aug. 10. = Despite
weakness at Liverpool and on the
New York Stock Exchange, wheat
and corn showed strength at the
opening of the Board of Trade to-
day, the former making fractional
gains in all months, and corn being
unchanged to fractionally higher.
Oats showed weakness and was UNI
changed to fractionally lower. Pro-
visions were nominal.
At the opening wheat was up 4
to 3 cent; corn was unchanged to
= cent higher, and oats was I'M
changed to Is cent off.
The wheat market was quiet
early, traders awaiting the govern
ment crop report, and news of the
Canadian wheat crop, which is ex-
pected to show some reduction.
Traders here said it would not be
surprising if the spring estimates
were reduced 25,0O0OOO to 50,O0O,O 900
bushels and at the same time a pos
sible increase of from 100000 to
100000 in the winter crop was
looked for. Liverpool opened lower
and held to lower levels during the
morning.
Completion of a pool to stabilize
corn has not yet been effected, and
traders in this pit are waiting for
this and watching the wheat pit
closely. Illinois has been selling
corn the last few days, most of it be-
ing by farmers who are repaying
loans. Favorable weather is report
ed over the belt and the tempera-
ture is rising.
Oats remains somewhat lethargic
in action, showing the smallest de-
clines and advances of the major
grains. Heavy arrivals of the last
few days have had a depressing in
f1uence on futures.

(Copyright. 1882. by The Times)
DOTH beer and wine are illegal
- in the United States, but Uncle
Sam is overlooking no bets when it
comes to collecting taxes from
home brewers and amateur wine
makers, in his big effort to balance
the federal budget.
Home brewers and basement
wine-makers are counted on to add
large share of an estimated yield
of $82,000,000 from the new federal
tax on manufacturers of brewers
wort, malt syrup, etc, and grape
concentrate.
And if one rather would drink
water, he will pay on that, too-for
mineral water is also taxed.
In many cases the tax is hidden
in an increased retail price of the
product.
The tax on brewers wort is IS
cents gallon and the tax on malt
syrup, ETC., is 3 cents a pound Odd
ly enough, the law says that malt
syrup, ETC., is exempt from the tax
if it is sold for such legal purposes as
to a baker for making bread, to
manufacturer of matted milk, to
manufacturer of medicinal products
or textiles.
But if it is sold for other pur-
poses (home- brewing) the product
is taxable.
The tax on grape concentrate, etc.
is 20 cents gallon. Oddly enough,
the law exempts from this tax any
such products which contain suf-
f1cient preservative to prevent fer
mentation when diluted"
A good home-brew drinker and
his friends can get away with
five-gallon "batch" of home-brew
weekly. A three-pound can Of malt
makes batch"
At cents a pound, that is a tax
of 9 cents a week, or about IS a
year for the home brewer.
And II you prefer neither home
brew, wine nor near-beer and rather
would drink water, there is a tax
on that, too, for mineral waters
and table waters selling at more
than 1872 cents a gallon are taxed
at cents a gallon.
