LOADINGS BOOSTED
BY GRAIN AND IRON
Nearly Half of Weeks Increase
Comes From Two Types
of Shipments.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. July 1o-A mounting
flow of grain to market and iron ore to
hungry blast furnaces has helped sus-
tain the business stream in face of a
seasonal ebb in some of its tribu-
taries.
Together grain and ore, although
among the lesser categories of freight.
accounted for nearly half the increase
in car loadings last week, as reported
today by the Association of American
railroads at Washington.
Sped by hot. clear weather in many
sections OF the grain belt, the wheat
harvest sent the grain movement up
to what may have been the peak, or
near peak. for the Summer.
Grain and grain products leadings
Jumped l0,495 cars to 51,87s. an in
crease of 1922 over the comparable
period last year. and were the biggest
influence in lifting total loadings
above 100000 to a new top for the
year.
Testifying to brisk demand for pig
iron and enlargement in steel opera
tons generally this year, ore loadings
were up about II per cent from the
1895 week
Rail men have been counting on the
larger harvest, including prospects Of a
heavier cotton yield and revival in
the capital goods industries centering
around steel to send loadings up to
100000 or better on the Autumn up
swing for the first time since recovery
got under way.

The opening was to points lower

There was some reselling for ac

PACE MAINTAINED
AT CHAIN STORES
June Sales Up H. Per
Cent Over Same Period
Last Year.
Spe cial Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, July 1o-Chain- store
sales in June maintained the high
level OF recent months, but the ad-
vance over last year is moderating
considerably, according to the monthly
survey issued yesterday by Childs, JEFF
fries e. Thorndike. Sales for the first
Is chains reporting for last month
totaled s256, 74o,32e, an increase of
S26,770, ,909, or III per cent This
compares with an average gain over
last year of about Is per cent during
the earlier months. and with a gain
of 26 per cent in March, which was
the peak month Of the year
The more moderate advance in retail
business apparently is beginning to re-
fleet uneasiness over the labor situa-
tion in many sections of the country,
and another factor which cut into
the sales Of some of the chains was
the rainy weather during the first
part OF the month, particularly on
Saturdays. Considering the fact that
the bonus payments were made in
June a year ago, the comparison was
considered generally satisfactory in
retail trade circles.
The results of the chains, however,
for the first six months of the year
were very satisfactory compared with
year ago. These same chains did a
total OF $l,382,236,312, which was an
increase of s176.584,753 or 14.6 per
cent over the same six months in 1886.
AS compared with the volume during
the first six months Of 1885, business
this year is exactly Is per cent ahead.

TAX PROBE HELD
INSPIRATION FOR
EVASION INCREASE
Inquiry Educates Public on
Expert Methods to
Avoid Payments.
BY FRANK ]. WILLIAMS.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

~s>>N-N'f
NEW YORK, July lot is re-
ported in business circles that, ex-
cept in a few places, sentiment in
Washington is not in favor OF further
disclosures in connection with the
resumption of the inquiry by the joint
congressional Committee on Tax
Avoidance and Evasion. Several men
in high places are said to have op-
posed the investigation in the first
place.
All the inquiry has succeeded in
doing 50 far, it is declared, is to
show the country at large how to
avoid taxation and get away with it.
Tax evasions condemned as morally
wrong have been admitted to be
legally right, and the Government
plainly cannot do anything about it.
This is an invitation to thousands
of small people who never thought of
evading taxes to follow the lead given
by the larger capitalists.
Shrug Their Shoulders.
It is expecting too much from a
hard-headed race Of business men,
such as Americans are, to believe that
they will refrain from practices ad-
mittedly within the law because they
are morally wrong. They simply
shrug their shoulders and say that
the tax law was badly framed in the
first place, and, if evidence of fraud
appeared. why weren't the culprits
prosecuted?
Discussing tax evasion with buSi-
ness men, one finds that any sense
of wrongdoing is lacking in them.
The income tax, it is contended, was
ton to swell the Government rev.
enue in times of need, and not as
means of redistributing wealth.
A considerable amount of the SELL
ing in the stock market earlier in the
year was selling against the box, !"
tax. When the market rises to higher
levels, more of the same sort of SELL
ing probably will materialiZe
Treasury PowerleSS.
So far the Treasury Department
has been unable to find way to cir
cumvent this practice An investor
holds block of stock that shows him
substantial profit II he sells it, he
pays large tax. Instead of selling
the stock, he goes short of the mar
ket and borrows stock to make deliv-
cries. He has a perfect hedge If the
market goes down, he makes up on the
short side whatever depreciation the
certificates in his box are suffering.

NEW YORK, July 10.-Zinc de-
veloped increasing activity and
strength late in the week on con-
tinuance of tight supply situation
With steel operations rising, buyers
started to cover in anticipation of a
price rise which was established
Saturday at 7 cents against the re-
cent basis of 6a4 cents a pound.
Strength in the export copper mar
ket and rise of $40 a ton in copper
and brass scrap Influenced sentiment,
but following moderate improve
ment in business, the volume tapered
off.
The export price, which had ad-
vanced about 81 cent. later eased and
tended to modify bullish sentiment
here. Domestic sales so far this
month were placed at around 10000
tons.
