NEW YORK, March 24.-Stocks
regained some of their recent losses
in today's market after an early dip
had landed many leaders in new low
territory for the past two years or
longer.
The comeback lacked the speed
which accompanied yesterdays sharp
sell-off. Closing advances also were
largely confined to fractions, although
few issues managed to work higher
at the finish. Transfers approxi-
mated 100000 shares.
Although outstanding news inspira-
ton was scant from the markets
standpoint, speculative contingents ap-
peared heartened by action of the
Senate Finance Committee in elimi-
mating the undistributed profits tax
provision from the House revenue bill.
Bolstering sentiment were the opin-
ions of a few analysts that business
generally may be dragging bottom and
is likely to take turn for the better
in the near future.
Brokerage quarters, on the whole,
thought mild improvement registered
by the majority of stocks was due
partly to speculative nibbling on the
theory Wednesdays slide may have
been overdone and that a temporary
reversal at least, was probable
Steels exhibited more strength than
other groups, as orders for the metal
were topping shipments for the first
time in several months and forecasts
of further demand we're heard in the
industry. Rails moved up a shade as
carrier executives met with union
heads to discuss the plight of the
roads.

usual situation growing out of the
Federal buying program here to sup

The situation was precipitated by
routine ruling of the State Tax
Commission, announced before the
Governments program began the
middle of February, providing that
sales of goods to the Government are
subject to the 3 per cent sales tax in
Illinois. ....
Produce traders here became con-
cerned as to their liability for this

for the tax.
To protect its members, the Chi
cago Mercantile Exchange has adopt
ed rule that any seller who makes
delivery of any commodity should be
entitled to demand from the pur-
chaser a certificate showing that the
property is to be resold, with the p,lr-
chaser assuming the tax liability. It
was cited that if the commodity were
not purchased for resale, the last
seller would be liable.

 You could go into flights of fancy about how the New Deal influence was being spread among the col- leges if you did not recall that sey- eral professors left without any idea whatever of spreading the doc trines of the New Deal. Some left liking it; others slammed the door as they went out.
