y. S.. Revenue
Act Of 1910
DEDUCTIONS FOR LOSSES
By CHARLIE S. LOWKIMORE,
C. P. A..

The internal revenue code allows
to individuals a deduction from
gross income for losses sustained
through fire, shipwreck, storm, or
other casualty and theft.
only losses actually sustained
are allowed as a deduction, this
means that they must be evidenced
by a closed and or completed trans
action.
Losses arising from other casual
ty and embraced by that term
means in effect such losses of a
nature similar to fire, storm, ship
wreck ct c~etera, which is oc-
casioned by some natural force.
Damages by floods, hurricanes,
hail storms, the bursting of a boil
er, crop diseases, automobile
wrecks, ct cetera are in this cate
CORY. In the case of an automobile
wreck the loss is allowable only if
the damages caused by the tax
payer are not due to his wilful
negligence. 1t does not matter
whether the taxpayer or another is
at fault, just SO the element Of
negligence is absent in the cas- Of
the claimant for the deduction.
Losses arising from embezzle-
ment Or theft are deductible only
in the year or years in which the
embezzlement or theft actually &C.
CURED, regardless of the year in
which such loss was discovered by
the taxr' yer. That means, if you
have an employee who has en-
bezzled funds in 1889 and do not
discover it until 1910, you have lost
the benefit of the loss deduction,
and the same rule applies to theft.
A lss on the sale OF residential
property, that is the home in which
y / li7e is not an allowable deduc-
ton, however a gain from such a
sale would be taxable. If such
property prior to its sale was con-
verted into rental p operty produc-
ing an income even for a short
time, any loss arising during the
time the property was so used
Woul.. be an allowal.- deduction.
The suitcase of an apartment
by a taxpayer which he receives
less rent than paid under the lease.
C. Eating a loss, is not a deductible
loss. /

CHICAGO GRAIN
(By the Associated Press)

CHICAGO, July 3l.-R-After
advancing as much as 3-4
cent to the best level in three
weeks. wheat prices tumbled more
than a cent a bushel today and
closed 1-8 to IL cent lower than
yesterday.
Profit taking attracted by uncov.
ering of new high quotations since
early in July were partially respon'
sible for the reaction. Sluggish do
mestic trade, virtually demoralized
international m a r k t conditions
and increasing harvest activity in
the spring wheat belt also account
ed for some pressure. September
wheat closed at IS 7-8 to rs and
December at rs SO to IL.
Corn fell a full cent at times,
weakened by scattered rains over
important sections of the belt and
forecast of continued unsettled
weather, and closed 3-8 ot5-8 lower
than yesterday, September g. to
g. 1-8, December SO So. Oats fin
ished unchanged to IA off, S o y
beans 7-8 to l 1-8 lower, rye IA to
3-8 down and lard 3 to 7 lower.
Early strength in wheat reflected
moderate purchasing credited to
mills. Diminished receipts at prin-
cipal terminals also attracted at
tention. Domestic and Canadian
sections of the belt had some rains
and the weekly weather report said
spring wheat cutting has been COM
pleted in southern South Darkota
and is well under way elsewhere.
Private elevator reports indicated
recent rains have helped the crop.
The first of the August private
crop reports was released. Com
piled by Mrs. E. H. Miller, it
placed spring wheat production at
$183, 900, 600 bushels and winter
wheat at SIT, 600, 600, compared with
miller July l estimates of 1877, 600,
900 and 479, 900, 900 and the last
government figures of 205, DOC, 900
and 524, 90, 90. The Kansas crop
was placed at 3d. 90, 900 bushels
but the Robinson Elevator Co., es-
timated production at IL, $50, 600
bushels compared with their fore
cast on May % Of 80, 379, 600. Last
year the Robinson final estimate
for Kansas was 1872. 293, 600 while
