in railroad shares featured an
otherwise irregular stock market

trading.
Union Pacific held gain OF more
than a point after reacting from its
early high of 6624 up ?, and
smaller gains were noted in New
York Central and Atchison.
Utilities were mixed in narrow
range. Motors eased slightly follow
ing an early advance. Chrysler
failed to respond to vote Of directors
to call the Dodge per cent de-
bentureS, only funded debt of the

a point on its dividend action yes

Steels were steady. Wet stocks
rose with Schenley up a point at
PAS. The favorable report of Ma

P0RKER PRICES
Remain STEADY
Cattle Market Unchanged
to Slightly Lower;
VeaIS Even.

Despite an extremely sharp drop
in supplies on hand at the Indian
apolis Union Stockyards today,
porker prices were mostly I'M
changed from yesterdays session.
Initial demand was slightly weaker
and trading less active than recent
ly.
No particular trading interest was
evident in the various clasifcations,
which indicates that practically all
demands we're filled from the ex-
tremely heavy run of hogs in the
preceding session. Top price for good
and choice grades held at $685..
Receipts were estimated at only $500,
compared with 1000 yesterday.
The bulk, 100 to $50 pounds, was
selling from 1920 to $3.50, while
heavyweights, ranging from $50
pounds and upward, brought 1910
to $9.1o. Lighter classes, scaling
$50 to 100 pounds, sold at $7.75 to
S8.75. Others, weighing 100 to 100
pounds, cashed in at $3.50 to $3.50.
Good packing sows held at 1925 to
$8.65.
Trading was less active in the
cattle market, with steers and heif-
ers mostly unchanged. Various
classes of COWS were tending Slight
ly lower than yesterday. No choice
stock we're available. Bulk of steers
held under $1150. Vealers again
held steady, selling at $3.50 down.
Receipts were 500.
With the lamb market not es-
tablished during the early trading,
bidding was slightly lower and ask
ing steady. Practically no early
sales were reported. Slaughter
sheep held at $3.50 down. Receipts
numbered $500.

BUSINESS HELD
SATISFIED WITH
LONGS REGIME
KingfiSh Not So Radical
After All, Trade Reports
Indicate.
BY RUTH FINNEY
Tines Special Writer

WASHINGTON. March t4-Busi-
ness Goes not classify Huey Long as
a dangerous radical in spite Of his
utterances about sharing wealth. AS
a matter Of fact. business is well
satisfied with his regime in Louisi-
ana, according TO a report on the
situation by the magazine Business
Week.
so far" the story says, hectic
melOdrama on the political stage
has had little influence on the
states business welfare. AS a
matter Of fact business and pro-
ductive activity are burdened more
heavily in many states than in
Louisiana. Much Of the high
handedness in the extraordinary
sessions Of the Louisiana Legislature
dealt with political controversies.
New laws affecting business, despite
all that has been published, were
not drastic. They would have re-
ceived little publicity had enactment
been in a different setting.
Moratorium Analysed
"Huey's so-called moratorium act
simply authorizes the state bank
commission, after proper hearings,
TO suspend laws ID relative to the
reduction of any debt TO judgment
or the enforcement hereof or 'rela-
tive TO the enforcement Of any lien,
privilege or mortgage securing the
same through the means OF any
process whatsoever.
1T applies to past debts only.
Suspensions are for the period OF
the emergency but in no case may
extend beyond Aug. 10, 1886. The
debtor must pay all back taxes and
insurance before suspension will be
allowed. e..
Existing law in Louisiana with
regard to general obligations is more
liberal than that of many states. i.
TIE effort TO tax newspapers
having a circulation in excess of 20,-
900 has been set aside by an injunc-
ton granted in the Federal court.
This was an effort to single out
anti-LOng papers for punishment.
The grade labelling law that so dis
turbed Gamers has been found i'm
practical Of enforcement and is now
imperative.
Increase in the corporation fran
chise tax to 50 per $1,000 of capital
stock, surplus and undivided profits
with a minimum payment of $40
hardly can be regarded as excessive.
License Tax Levied
IAN annual license tax was levied
on all persons and corporations pur-
suing any vocation or business. For
banks with less than $4,000 in cap
ital and surplus the tax is $50. This
is graduated in 90 steps until the
bank with S75.O00,O00 in capital and
surplus pays $4,000 annually. 49,.
Recent laws have been aimed at
the larger corporations but those
organizations already have demon
Strated their ability to take care of
themselves.
Failure of the state administra-
ton TO curtail public expenditures
during the depression has caused
widespread complaint in Louisiana
but the average tax per capita and
the levy on business firms and corp
OrationS is greater in half the states
Of the Union.
$50 far there has been no flight
of capital from the state as a result
of Huey's swaShbuckling. The trend
is in the other direction and is ex-
pected to accelerate with general re-
covery."
