Stocks Reach Highest Levels Since March 30

New York, May 13.-CUP).- Stocks edged up to the highest levels since March 30 this week on better business sentiment, but slip ped off later to lose most of the improvement.
 Trading continued dull.
 U. s. government bonds whipped forward to the best levels on rec ord.
 Action of commodities was en- couraging. The United Press-Dun & Bradstreet index on Thursday reached the highest level since May IA, 1888. Wheat and oats moved up to new seasonal peaks. Most of the gain reflected sharp rises ip cash grains in reflection of a tight spot situation.
 The soft coal situation was a drag on the market but failed to inspire any noticeable amount of buying Friday when improvement occurred. Relaxation of the tension abroad was factor in better sentiment and allowed operators to focus attention on the domestic business scene.
 Business statistics were hardly fa- vorable, but some were distorted by the coal strike. Steel operations, electricity output, carloadings and heavy construction dipped, but au-

TAX PAYMENTS
 RUNNING AHEAD
Collector Ennis Report Encouraging; Many Pay
 Entire Installment

Tax payments this year are run ming approximately $1,O0o,Oo0 ahead of last year, Tax Collector William A. Ennis reported today. AS of this morning, collections since May l amounted to $2,6OO,000, whereas on May 13, 1888, total collections for the month were $1,600,000.
 The increase, MT. Ennis said, is caused largely by the fact that taxpayers this year are making pay ments in full instead of paying only one installment, as the law permits them to do. This particularly true of large taxpayers, notably several large local business firms.
 The second installment of 1889 taxes on real and personal property is due in October. MT. Ennis ex- poets that if payments continue at the present rate during May tax payments for the month will reach a total of about $3,800,00.
 Those who fail to pay the first installment of their taxes by the end of the month are obliged to pay interest at the rate of 7.2 per cent. And the interest is computed on the entire bill, not on just the first in- stallment
 With two and half weeks of the month remaining, Tax Collector Ennis believes that the goal of $3,- 100000 should be reached. The total estimated amount of taxes due to be collected this year, including both the May and October installments, is $5,874,5 ,582.86.
 MT. Ennis today suggested to those planning to make tax pay ments that they visit his office in the city hall as soon as possible Late in the month, he said they will meet delays as long lines of people gather at the office to make pay ments. By paying now, he said, tax payers can avoid the congestion that will develop late in the month.
