Of 1886 jumped to $109, SAT ,622.74
against $86, ,97s. .862.63 in Decem-
Der, 1885.
The total for the year was al
most back to the record for the

Der clearingS of more than $l09,-
900 900 reached back to December,
1929. when clearings in Washing
ton totaled $116,074,630.10.
The six closed banks in Wash

The average citizen in Novem-
Der was 20 cents on the dollar bet
ter off than he was in the same
month in 1885, according to a
current study of Investors Synoi-
cate, of Minneapolis, which showed
the average individual cash in
come was $1.23 during November
for every 81 in the like month a
year ago, while cash outgo was
$1.03 as against 81 in November,
1895.
Wage increases and dividend
declarations of record-breaking
proportions during November were
responsible for the big bulge IN
pocketbooks of the average Amer
lean, although the gains in sal.
aries also contributed to the
amount people had to spend. No
less important, however, in the
jump in real" income was the
slow rate of rise in average living
costs, a movement which quick
ened in the closing weeks of 1886
and, therefore, is not completely
reflected in the November indices.
Wage Farmers Benefit
Wage earners during November
received SLIT for every 81 they
were paid in the same 1885 month.
Investors, partly as a result of the
Federal SlrtaX on undiStrihl1tnd
earnings, got $1.33 for every dollar

MASON HAIL )
RECOVERY

American business and the
American people enter into the
new year with the brightest pros
poets they have faced for many
years, states George w. Mason
president of Kelvinator Corpora
ton, Detroit. Mr.. Mason said:
81 join the American people
in this statement because the
people of America and American
industry are inSeparably linked.
AS one prOsperS, so does the
other. American industry and
business produce and sell goods
to the American people. If all
the people are not prosperous,
then industry and business can
not be prosperous, because what
one produces and sells the other
must buy.
To-day the hourly rates in
manufacturing industries are the
highest on record and figures
provided by the National Indus
trial Conference Board show that
the purchasing power of average
weekly earnings of factory work
ers is greater than even in 1929"
Employment is up, too, and fig
ureS by the same board show that
the number of unemployed today
is down to 8,673,000. as compared
to 16 million in the spring Of 1888.

INCOMES
RISE IN MD.

COLLEGE PARK, Md, Jan. 2
Despite adverse weather condi-
tions early last spring which
caused a 2 per cent drop in crop
production, farm incomes for the
entire. state of Maryland last year
were 20 per cent higher than in
1885, ]. A. Ewing, statistician of
the Maryland Crop Reporting
Service announced yesterday.
Ewing'S report shows that Mary
land farmers harvested 1897 $40
acres in 1886, valued at $55, ,465,-
900, as compared to 1,735 ,420 acres
valued at $46,283, 900 the year
before. Corn constituted the major
crop. amounting to 80 per cent
of the total. Wheat was second
at Is per cent, and tobacco, II per
cent; hay 8 per cent and tomatoes,
8 per cent.
According to the report, lateness
of spring planting and early
drought reduced the yields of
strawberries, canning peas, hay.
and clover, but midseason and late
truck crops were well above the
average. Production of corn,
wheat, and tobacco, the money
crops, was much higher than in
the previous year and brought
higher prices.

BRIT0N VISIONS
WORLD WAR
BY 1889

ONDON, Jan. 2 IN.SO
That Europe will be in the throes
Of war within two years was the
declaration today of Kenneth
De Courcy, representative of an
important group in the conserva-
tive party, which is sending a
commission to the United States
in March.
For that reason, Britain re-
quires closer American relations,
and the defaulted British debt to
the United States will be one of
the topics to be taken up, De
Courcy said.
The commission, representing
the imperial policy group, is how
ever, strictly unofficial. One Of
their main goals, it was believed,
will be to spread goodwill for Brit
ain in America, so that America
will again aid her in case Of war.
De Courcy said:
"MOst of us younger citizens
Of the British army feel that a
great responsibility lies with us
and the United States, and that
upon our joint activities may
depend the future of civiIiza-
ton"

dent of Penola, Inc, a subsidiary
of the Standard Oil Company
On. j., and D. v. Stonaker, a
sales manager of Penola, has been
made vice president, according to
a company announcement.
Mr.. Saybolt began his career
with the company in 1901 at the
Bayonne laboratory. In 1907 he
went to Parkersburg. w. Va, to

they received in November, 1895.
The salaried worker during Novem.
Der got $l.l2 for every 81 he re-
ceived in the corresponding period
of 1895.
The real" dollars in Mr.. and
Mrs. Public'S pocketbook, however
are different from the actual dol
lars received in the pay envelope
because real" dollars represent
the difference between what Mr..
Public earns and what he has to
pay out for rent, food, clothing
and other living costs.
Living Costs Rise
Living costs rose three cents on
the dollar between November,
1885, and the same month in
1886. On December /, last, it
only required $1.02 to buy the
same amount of food that the
1885 dollar would purchase. Gen.
eral expenses, like Shaves, mani
cures, theater admissions and
drugs, only required a cent per
dollar more; clothing, which in
the previous year cost a dollar,
still was on the bargain list at
80 cents; and even housing costs,
which have gained most during
the past year, showed a hesitancy
in their upward trend, although
it now takes $1.10 to do the work
of last years dollar in this de-
partment of the family budget.

DECLINES
IN FAIR TRADE
VOLUME

:. NEW YORK, Jan. 2 Q.N.SO.
Drifting gradually lower as the ses-
sion progressed, curb stocks were

trading. Declines we're of moderate
proportions in fair trading volume.
Most losses were held to less
than a point in the miscellaneous
list. Brown Company preferred,
Taggart Corporation, Fisk Rubber
and Pan American AirWay were
among the harder hit issues, turn
ing down under persistent liquida-
ton. Aluminium of America sagged
2 points on realization following
recent wide gains. Universal Pic
lures dipped point to %.
A few issues improved, notable
among them Colt Patent Fire
Arms, which added more than 3
points to reach a new high for
the movement at 81.
Fractional losses we're charac-
teristic in the utility shares, which
were also showing a greater pro-
portion of advances than the rest
of the list. Electric Bond and
Share, Cities Service, American
Gas and United Gas issues lost
ground. American Light and
Traction, United Light issues ad-
vanced slightly, and Arkansas
Natural Gas issues were up frac-
.tionally on persistent buying. A
good deal of the total volume was
in the utility stocks.
The oil shares were lower all
around, with Gulf, Creole and In
ternational Petroleum among the
heavier losers. Pantepec slipped
fractionally in frequent appear
ances on the tape.
Some metal shares were showing
insignificant gains, but the bulk
Of the list was at a minor discount.

TAX REFORMS 5
SURE, VIEW IN
CONGRESS
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
Copyright, 1887, by International News
ServiceO
A general overhauling of Fed
eral taxes by the new Congress
appeared inevitable today as sur
vey disclosed $500 900, 900 Of exist
ing temporary Federal taxes will
expire within the next seven
months.
While President Roosevelt has
assured the nation he will seek
no new taxes during the coming
year, he either must ask Congress
to re-enact the expiring taxes or
face the loss Of half-billion dol
lars Of revenue annually. His
Capitol Hill spokesmen frankly
concede he will seek re-enactment
of these taxes.
Means Tax Battle
This will mean a general tax
battle, since all manner of amend
ments will be in order once the
bill is considered by the House and
Senate.
Such a fight appeared certain
as various influential Democrats
and Republicans have announced
they will seek complete modifica-
tion of the brand new tax sched.
ule imposed by the last Congress
on undistributed earnings of cor.
porationS. This will throw the
whole corporate tax structure into
the legislative contest.
The President commands record
Shattering majorities in both
House and Senate. This ordi-
narily would indicate his wishes
on taxes would be followed. 1t
was not the case year ago, how
ever. when some of his recommen-
dations fell by the wayside when
Administration leaders accepted
compromise proposals in order to
get the bill enacted.
81 Taxes End Soon
In all, 81 special taxes and the
Scent out-oftown postage stamp
will expire by next July 81. All
but four will expire by June 80.

100 STOCKS UP

groups, the value of 100 repre-
sentative common stocks recorded
an advance in December for the
eighth consecutive month and for
the twentieth time in the last 81

compilation by Frazier Jelke &
Co.
The 100 stocks had value at
the end of December of $24,838,
$4,000, an increase of $88,523,'
900, or three -tenths of l per cent
over the November 80 total.
For 1886 the index advanced in
each month except April, and the
valuation at the end of December
showed an appreciation of S.,
149, 1854, 600, or 32.9 per cent. All
the several groups recorded gains
in the year, with railroad equip
ments getting the pace at 73 pei
cent and foods recording the
smallest gain, 81 per cent.

electrical equipments and chem
icals came next with gains of 45.4
and AZ per cent. Oils recovered
BAL per cent, rails 81 and utilities
25.4 per cent.
Advances and declines were
about evenly balanced in Decem.
Der, six groups advancing and
seven declining. The largest gain
was in the railroad equipments,
which rose lit per cent. Oils re-
covered go per cent and building
shares 8.3 per cent, while cleo
tricals gained So per cent and
