CHICAGO LIVE STOCK.

CHICAGO, July 13 CP.-With cat
tie and hog receipts. accelerated by
the drought and soaring corn prices,
rapidly reaching the food stage, live
stock values broke rather sharply
again today.
Hogs lost Is to 25 cents, top declin-
ing to s1050. Fat lambs were 25 to so
cents lower, and fed steers and year.
lings we're weak to Is cents of, al
though light heifer and mixed year.
lings grading good and better sold
strong to 25 cents higher. The early
steer top was $3.50.
The hog and cattle runs were below
advance estimates. but. nevertheless,
were burdening to the trade, consid-
ering the sharply contracted consumer
demand coincident with the hot
weather. Packers were attempting to
move beef and pork at steady whole
sale prices today, there being little
change in the quotations. Steer car
cases sold for SO to $l4.50 per hun
dredweight.
The markets were weakened consid-
erably by the live stock surplus, which
flowed to slaughter during last weeks
extended heat wave. At the same
time, trade expectations that rising
corn prices would stimulate further
liquidation had more or less of a bear
ish effect on prices. Lack of water
has been the primary cause of much
liquidation, but the shortage of feed
also is an impelling factor. The mar
kets in the Northwest, particularly at
st. Paul and Sioux City, have been
glutted with drought stock, according
to reports here. Local cattle receipts
are running the largest since October.
The bulk of desirable native lambs
sold for $s.75 to $1o.50 in today's trade.

CORPORATION TAX
/. IS MARKETFACTOR
Directors Expected to Order
Larger Part of Profits
for Dividends.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.


NEW YORK, July l3-It Is slowly
becoming evident that the provisions
of the revenue act of 1896, particu-
larly those affecting the tax on profits
not distributed as dividends, is going
TO be an important factor in the
stock market.
The long-term economic effect may
be injurious to both the corporations
and their stockholders, but that view
is not likely to be reflected in the
market for some time to come 1t
can hardly be doubted that. in order
to cut down tax liability, directors will
distribute larger proportion Of their
earnings than they would otherwise
consider conservative.
The speculator, as distinguished
from the investor, confident in his
ability to protect himself by shifting
his interest as circumstances dictate,
will buy stocks on which there is good
prospect of larger dividends regardless
of the ultimate outcome.
Rail Issues Respond.
OF course, it is the plain intent Of
the law to force out dividends which
can then be taxed as income to the
recipients. 1t is probably the result
OF this situation that has brought
about the sharp advance in two lead
ing railroad issues this week-Norfolk
g. Western and Chesapeake & Ohio.
Norfolk g. Western has been
climbing steadily until now it is
within striking distance Of its 1929
top. Norfolk & Western is earning
at a rate which would permit of a
substantial increase in the dividend.
The same is true in less degree of
Chesapeake 8, Ohio. although in this
case an additional motive for higher
rate is the benefit that would accrue
to the associated Van Sweringen
companies.
1t would be gratifying to say that
these two examples indicate a more
confident feeling toward the rail-
road outlook generally, but that Is
hardly the case. 1t must be remem-
bered that the two roads in question
are predominantly carriers of soft
coal and their traffic is not repre-
sentative of the railroads as whole.
Suggestion Praised.
From another quarter comes a
distinctly encouraging suggestion.
Speaking before the conference at
the University of Virginia Thursday.
Lowell H. Parker indicated that the
administration was considering the
abolition of taxes on capital gains.
Nothing could be more constructive
in the way of tax reform except a
similar abolition of tax-exempt secu-
rites.
If these two changes can be made
in our tax system we should approach
something like logical arrangement.
Capital gains are not income and
should not be treated as such. They
should not be taxed nor should losses
on sale of capital assets be allowed
as deductions. AS it stands now,
all the gains are taxed and only a
small proportion of the losses are al
lowed.
Every Secretary of the Treasury in
recent times, regardless of politics,
has urged abolition of the issuance
Of tax-exempt obligations by the
Federal Government, as we'll as States
and their subdivisions. No progress
has been made for the simple reason
that States and municipalities are re-
luctant to give up their present ad-
vantage in the way of floating new
bonds.

WAGE AVERAGES
PROVE CONFUSING
Broker Points Out That
Labor Data Must Be
Viewed DoubtfuIIy.
Dispatch TO The Star

SIGcial Dispatch 10 The Star
NEW YORK, July l3.-"When I
read all this discussion of average
wages in the iron and steel industry
it gives me an uncomfortable feeling
In the stomach" says a broker who
works a good bit with figures. Il
cannot but recall what my old in
structor in statistics was always harp
ing Oman average expresses some
thing that does not exist he used to
iterate and reiterate.
And yet" the broker continued,
few people ever stop to think that
an average is purely an imaginary
quantity. How true that is was
brought home to me once in connec.
ton with small manufacturing plant
in which I had an equity interest.
The question of wages came up and
the plant executives insisted that they
were paying around the average for
the industry. They figured out an
average of 468 cents an hour, and
that made it look as if few workers
had much ground for complaint.
however, recalled the saying OF
my old mentor-'an average expresses
something that does not exist'-and
I asked for the real facts concealed
by that average AS I remember it,
I learned that 500 workers we're get
ting 80 cents an hour. and 300 were
getting rs cents an hour. Now the
300 were well satisfied, but what
about the 62l2 per cent of the work.
ers who were getting only 80 cents
an hour A little further figuring
showed that those 62l2 per cent Of
the employees were getting nearly
So per cent less than the boasted
average wage
so say" he continued, when
you read claims and counterclaims
in this steel industry labor dispute,
take average wages with a grain Of
salt. Recently I read a quotation
from the Atchison Globe which fits
the case so well that am having
an enlarged reproduction of it framed
for my Office. This is what it says:
There are three sides to every
question. Your side, my side and the
truth"

STOCKS EXECUTE
BRISK TURNABOUT
March Up to Highest Point
Since July, 1881, at
Close of Week.
BY THOMAS E. FLANAGAN,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, July 13.-The stock
market executed smart turnaboui
last week and marched up to the
highest level since July. 1881.
Although much bullish tinder hac
been lying around, it took the sparks
Of feverish grain and cotton specula-
ton to kindle enthusiasm for equities
Early in the week shares had come
under the cloud of the threat of q
sharp struggle between steel workers
and employers. The utilities, Dol.
stored by recent better-than-seasonal
gains in power production, were the
only major group to resist pressure.
At the halfway mark two develop
ments combined to stimulate buying
OF stocks. A sharp split within the
ranks Of labor over the steel question
was seen in Wall Street circles as les
sening, momentarily at least, strike
fears.
Commodities Boom.
Meanwhile crop-withering drought
brought boom to grains. while cot
ton shot forward on publication Of a
smaller than expected Government
acreage report.
The buying which followed produced
new highs, some of them for, six years
or so, to such representative issues as
Chrysler, Coca Cola, Du Pont, Union
Carbide, Westinghouse Electric, Allied
Stores, Consolidated Edison, Pere Mar
quette, Commercial Credit and Electric
Power & Light.
OF the 20 most active shares for the
week, utilities were in the majority
The advance was broad, however, and
at the close gains of fractions to 4
or SO points for the week were chalked
up by General Motors at 697s. Con-
solidated Edison at 4114. U. S. Steel
at 621s, Allegheny Corp. at "a, Ana
conda at 3634, American Water Works
at rs, Radio at 11s and Socony-
Vacuum at las.
Farm Trade Watched.
Occupying an important part OF
stock market calculations was the
question of whether farm purchasing
power would be impaired by the raw
ages of drought That farm equip
ment issues, mail order shares and
some rails found the going hard at
times reflected fears in market quar-
tiers of less buying energy in the
stricken areas.
AS partial Offset to such misgivings,
however. were current Wall Street esti-
mates pointing to increased second
quarter earnings soon to be reported
Financial quarters noted a revival
Of interest in oil issues. On this score
they pointed to predictions in some
quarters that earnings of petroleum
companies would be the best in five
years or longer. Meanwhile heavy
consumption Of gasoline led to pre-
dictions of crude oil price advances.
Sharp upturns in June sales of chain
stores bore witness both to the spend
ing of bonus money by veterans and
the increase in purchasing power of
the public at large. Store shares gave
heed to these reports.
Carrier Equities Gain.
Carrier equities had the benefit of
less than seasonal decline in freight
car loadings and as the week came to
a close moved along at good clip.
Measured by the Associated Press
average of 60 stocks, the market rose
IL to 652 Industrials were up IL
to $40, rails IL to 363 and utilities
gained is to sos.
The weeks volume, 6,528,180 was
the best since the week ended May 2.
