GERMAN BOND LIST
! CONTINUES STRONG
High Grade Public Utility Is
sues Are Again in
Demand.
BY CHARLES r. sPEARE.
Special Dispatch to The star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 3.-Had it not
been for the buoyancy in German issues
and in a few of the high-grade domes-
tic public utility bonds, the investment
market today would have had a gloomy
appearance with which to enter the new
year. A considerable part of the rise
in corporation issues at the end Of last
week faded away in the moderate sell
ing movement.
In spite Of the fact that the entire
German list closed at the highest aver
age of the year on Saturday. there was
a continuation Of the buying for foreign
and domestic account under Wh1ch the
Government 5las touched so, the Gov
ernment rs went up to 80. and Prussian
6ias to so, with gains Of l TO points
in the public utility and mortgage bank
loans.
The unusual attitude of buyers toward
Central European obligations was illus
trated in the rise OF "a points 10 oo
in the City of Vienna's IS, which are
in default. This is a considerably
higher price than is now being quoted
on the and per cent bonds OF Amer
ican railroads which are paying their
interest and are likely to go on doing so.
In a long list of Junior and specula-
tive railroad obligations the losses to-
day ranged from l to points. Inc
conspicuously weak bonds were those
of the Illinois Central, Erie, Chicago q
Northwestern, Rock Island, Northern
Pacific, New York Central, Missouri "a
ciflc and Baltimore g. Ohio. The vol
ume of selling was moderate. which
suggested that the market had gone
back into the stage of last month when
the declines reflected lack OF buying
power quite as much as liquidation.
There were also sharp losses in spec
uIative industrials such as United Drug
+. IS and Texas Co. IS. international
Telephone bonds were heavy, as were
. those of Interborough Rapid Transit:
American & Foreign Power 5s declined

The higher grade public utilities held
at about the top average OF Saturday.
A feature was the rise OF nearly
points In New Jersey Power & Light

with their recent price Of 50 and their
low quotation for 1882 Of IT. Unusual

issue.

TAX
SCHEDULE IS
MADE PUBLIC
Will Supplant Away Plan
From And After
August |
BY J. c. Baskerville
The Times-News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, July 24.-The new
uniform schedule for the impo-
sition of the 3 per cent sales tax
on retail sales, to go into effect
August 1 and take the place of
the four schedules now in use, was
announced today by Commissioner
Of Revenue A. j. Maxwell, to-
gether with several other changes
in the regulations. The new
schedule is as follows:
No tax on sales from 1 cent to
nine cents.
One cent tax on sales from 10
cents to 35 cents.
Two cents tax on sales from 26
cents to 70 cents.
Three cents tax on sales from
II cents to $1.05.
On sales in excess of $1.05, the
tax is straight 8 per cent, frac-
tons in excess of this amount to
be governed by the major frac-
ton.
1t is also provided that the new
schedule shall be applied to the
total sales at single trading per-
iod, instead of to each individual
purchase, as is the case under the
present four schedules. The new
regulations also provide that the
payment of 1 cent tax on a 10
cent purchase automatically en-
titles the customer to make addi-
tional purchases up to 80 cents
without the payment Of any ad-
ditional tax and without the use
Of any coupons.
"Under this new schedule, if a
customer makes purchase of
only 10 cents, he will be required
to pay a tax of / cent" Commits
sioner Maxwell said in explaining
the regulations. "But he can make
two other 10 cent purchases at
the same time and still have to pay
only cent Of tax. Or he can make
four 10 cent purchases, totalling
40 cents. and one 20 cent pur-
base and have to pay tax of
only two cents on the cumulative
sales amounting to so cents. In
this way the purchaser pays only
the exact amount of tax due and
the merchant collects all due him
without any way over-charging
the customer. As a result, both
the merchants and the public
should be better satisfied"
This new schedule and the new
were agreed to almost
by the various groups
of merchants with whom they
were discussed before being fin
allv adopted, Commissioner Max
we'll said, especially by the drug
gists, to whom the former sched-
ule had been very unsatisfactory.
"There is no doubt that the ap-
plication of the sales tax to the
drug store operators has been diff
ficult and that the former sched-
ules worked a hardship upon
Them" Mr.. Maxwell said: "But
when this new schedule and the
new regulations were presented to
a representative grour of drugs
gists last week, not a single
change was suggested and they
were approved unanimously. As a
result, we feel that the new regu-

BRIDGEPORT. Conn.,, July "a.
(UP).-Amy and Jim Mollison,
Great Britain's most famous fiji
ers. crashed at Bridgeport airport
last night within 80 miles of COM
pletlng a nonstop fight from
Wales to New York.
Speeding down the Atlantic
seaboard in one of the most am
bilious air ventures ever attempt
ed, the flying couple tried to land
at the Bridgeport airport, found
the field unlighted, overshot their
mark and wrecked their ship.
Neither was seriously injured.
Mollison, the only man who ever
flew solo on the hazardous west
ward passage of the Atlantic, had
several severe cute on his head
and scratches on his legs.
Both f1iers were taken to the
Bridgeport hospital after their
plane had over-run the flying field
and crashed into marshes. 1t was
found that they were not serious
ly hurt.
Their plane, the Seafarer. in
which they hoped to fly nonstop
from New York to Bagdad, was
badly damaged in the crash.
They were taken to the hospital
in a Stratford police ambulance.
Neither Amy nor Jimmie talked
about their mishap.
They appeared exhausted from
80 hours and six minutes in the
air. and they were disconsolate
over the crackup, police said.
They had completed the Allan
tic crossing in good time and were
sighted Sunday morning. flying
over Newfoundland. 1t was not
thought that they would attempt
to reach New York because Of
lack of fuel. They flew on, how
ever, and were racing down the
coast toward New York when
their gasoline gave out and forced
them to seek landing field.
The Bridgeport flying field is
small, cinder-surfaced, with a sim
gle concrete runway, and is across
a highway from the Sikorsky air
plane factory.
The Mollison's brought their
black biplane out of the night
and tried to land on the field.
They overshot the airport, how
ever. and went crashing into the
marsh at one end Of the field.
A Waterman at the airport
heard the crash as the plane went
into the swamp. He hurried out.
As he walked toward the place
where the noise had come from,

GREENLAND
ON AIR SURVEY
May Push On To Iceland
In Mapping Tour; But
Not Europe

GOTHAAB, Greenland, July
24.-(UP).-Col. Chas. A. LIND
bergh said last night that he and
his wife might fly on to Iceland
on their mapping tour but would
not continue to Europe because of
the lateness of the season.
Meanwhile, he said he would CO.

flights TO explore the Greenland
coasts--and perhaps the inland ice
barrier-when weather permits.
Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lind
bergh rested here Sunday after a
7OO-mile over-water flight from
Labrador on their map-making
survey of the far northern trans
Atlantic route.
Lindbergh said his flight from
Labrador was uneventful except
for the fact that they frequently
flew through fog. The trip re-
uuired six hours and 20 minutes.
They plan to continue eastward
when weather conditions are IA
vora BILE.
The population gave the Ameri-
can couple rousing welcome.
Everybody in the city crowded
the nearby mountain tops waving
and cheering as Lindbergh circled
over. They were official welcomed
over. They were officially wei
coined by the COLONIAL minister and
local authorities, with whom they
drank wine. They congratu-
lated the wife of the colonial
manager on the birth of a son
shortly before the arrival of the
Lindbergh plane. The boy will be
named Charles Lindbergh.
