Wheat Supplies Low
In Central Europe,
Reports Indicate
Shortages Reflected
In New Governmental
Restrictions
BY the Associated Press.

The Agriculture Department said
today overseas reports indicate that
supplies of wheat were running low
in Central Europe.
Shortages are being reflected, it
said, in new governmental restrlc-
tions. In Rumania, beginning last
Saturday, all bread must contain
at least 30 per cent cornmeal, the
department reported. In France,
regulations against adulteration of
flour by bakers have been relaxed
to permit use of buckWheat and
other substitutes.
North America and Argentina, on
the other hand, continued to be
burdened with surpluses. This sit
uation played a part in further de-
clines in wheat prices in domestic
markets last week, the department
said.
Another price -depressant was said
to have been reports that United
States winter wheat prospects con-
tinue favorable. Precipitation was
fairly heavy in Middle Western, Mid
die Atlantic and Pacific Coast States.
Wheat fields were described as hav-
ing been well protected by snow
from the south central portions of
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, North Gen.
trail Missouri and South Central
Kansas northward.
Conditions remained quite salts
factory" the department said. in the
great basin and Pacific Coast States.
In Canada, moisture conditions were
said to be unusually favorable for
this time of year.
Domestic cash wheat prices gen.
orally declined along with futures
last week. Current offerings were
ample for market needs. Mills pro-
vided the principal outlet, but buy
ers were not inclined to accumu-
late large stocks in view of the
favorable prospects for new wheat.
Corn markets also we're weak, re-
CeiptS at principal markets were
only moderate, totaling about 3,775,-
600 bushels and including a large
percentage of high moisture grain
which sold at discounts of about a
cent a bushel for each percentage
of excess moisture. A scarcity of Of
ferings of dry corn tended to sup
port the market.

CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-The wheat
markets attempt to rally fell fiat
today after gains ranging up to Il
cent had been recorded. The up
turn was wiped away and small
losses were recorded at the final bell.
Traders attributed the late set
back partly to Southwestern re-
ports of increased receipts, Cana
dian statistics estimating the July
81 carryover at $4,000. 900 bushels,
largest on record, and failure o. a
securities market rally to make
headway. Wheat receipts at Kansas

War Restrictions Cut
u. 5. Cotton Exports
By 79 Per Cent
Only Half Million Bales
Shipped First Four
Months Of Season
RE the ASSOCIATED Press.

By the Associated Press.
The United States appears to be
taking the sharpest losses IN W.
restricted movement of cotton into
world markets, the Agriculture De-
partment said today.
Available statistics on world cot
ton exports show, the department
said, that during the first four
months of the season, beginning last
August l, the United States eX-
ported only half a million bales, COM
pared with 2,5OO,00O in the corre-
spending period last season. This
was reduction Of about 79 per
cent.
Next to the United States in eE-
port losses was Egypt. Shipments
dropped 66 per cent.
During the four-mOnth period ey-
ports from six important exporting
countries-the United States, Egypt.
Brazil, Peru. Argentina and Anglo
Egyptian Sudan-totaled only 200,-
900 bales, compared with the pre-
vious seven-year low of 100000
bales in 1884 and an average Of
100000 during the 10 years ending
with 1892 No figures on exports
from India, an important Oriental
producing area, were available
Brazil Jared better than otl-or
major exporting countrie@, with a
decline of only IA per cent. Ja3-l,
the leading market for 3ra-'ll-n
cotton this year. purchased lE3 no
bales. This represented an increc-e
of 80 per cent. In view Of the fact
that total exports from all countries
to Japan declined so per cent. COM
pared with last year. the increased
shipments from Brazil represented a
Japanese shift in choice of markets.
The decrease in japanese pur-
chases of American cotton was more
than four times greater than the
increase that occurred in their pur-
chases from Brazil, the department
said.
Important increases also occurred
in Brazilian cotton shipments TO
Canada. Canada imported $1,000
bales, compared with 1000 in 1899.
Exports from Peru declined Al per
cent and from Argentina 46 per cent.

10 Low-Y Yield Bonds.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Moderate
gains and losses were well mixed in
the bond market today.
Foreign loans, responsive to small
transactions, showed some of the
widest advances in late dealings, in.
cluding Australian, japanese and
Scandinavian issues.
Buying improved somewhat in
rail bonds. but many still we're
down fractions to more than a point.
The decline in the carrier was a
continuation of a lower drift which
started about a week ago. Despite
a flow of favorable earnings reports,
and prospects of more to come as
result of national defense on the
Nations transport system, many
buyers awaited outcome of demands
for congressional action on the lease
lend bill before entering into new
commitments.
Issues marked down included
Illinois Central 4a4S, Rock Island

Pennsylvania general 4S of '65,

NORMAL TAX, SURTAX AND
DEFENSE TAX RATES

Income taxes for 1910 are paid on
net incomes and on surtax net in
comes. A study of the instructions
that accompany the income tax
forms will show how to compute the
tax on such incomes. This brief
statement should serve to help to
that end.
The Internal Revenue Code pro-
vides for only one normal tax rate,
and that IS per cent of the net
income less the allowable personal
exemptions and credits for de-
pendentS, and an earned income
credit of 10 per cent of the amount
Of the earned net income, but not
in excess of 10 per cent of the
amount Of the net income. For in
stance, If the net income is $1,000, no
more than $500 earned net income
credit would be deductible from the
net income. If the net income is
$4,000 or less. there is paid only the
normal tax rate of 4 per cent.
Exemptions Allowed.
The personal exemption and credit
for dependents are also allowable as
credits against the net income for
the purpose Of the. surtax. the re-
sulting net income being designated
"surtaX net income"
The surtax is imposed on surtax
net incomes in excess Of $4,000. The
rates increase as the amount of the
surtax net income increases.
On a surtaX net income of $4,000
or less there is no surtaX. On a
surtax net income in excess of $4,000
and not in excess of $4,000 the rate
is 4 per cent of such excess. The
surtaX upon a surtaX net income
of $4,000 is $50, and upon q surtax
net income in excess of $4,000 and
not in excess Of $4,000 the rate is
s per cent of such excess in addition
to the $50, or a SurtaX of 5000 upon
q surtax net income of $4,000.
The defense tax, which the pres
ent tax law imposes, is tax Of 10
per cent of the combined normal
tax and SurtaX.
