Stock Market Drops;
Steel Issues and
Motors in Lead
By Victor Eubonk
Associated Press Finoneiol Writer

Associated Press Financial Writer
NEW YORK, June 3.-Steels and
motors led general decline in to-
days stock market although offer
ings were relatively light and as
sorted favorites able to contest the
shift with fair success.
While the big railway and soft
coal strikes were out of the way as
a market handicap, widespread la
Dor difficulties persisted as selling
inspiration. Accounts were also
trimmed on the idea that the
lengthy climb of the averages to
l5-year peaks called. for a sizable
technical correction. Imitation psy-
chology, propped by the wage-price
spiral, again brought in some bid
ding. Good dividends were helpful.
The ticker tape frequently loafed
after the opening but losses of frac-
tions to a point or more were nu-
merous near the close. Transfers
were in the neighborhood of l,3oO,-
600 shares.
Better performers were American

Higher Bank Earnings Seen.

The longer term earnings pros
poets of banks are bright, according
to a Standard g. Poor's survey, the
assumption being that there will be
no important changes in money
rates, that business conditions con-
tinue favorable through 1947, and
that there are no important changes
in banking regulations.
The uptrend in net operating
earnings this year may be inter-
rupted by growing expenses of about
10 per cent over l945, and the
shrinkage in holdings of Govern
ment securities. Expansion in COM
mercial loans could offset the other
factors, the review commented.
Net earnings in 1945 were the best
since 1929. In the first quarter of
1916, earnings were ahead of 1945
Profits for 1916 are expected to drop
below 1915, partly because of the
absence of Government deficit
financing. the survey says.

High Court Upho|ds
South Carolina Tax on
Insurance Premiums
By the Associoted Pr.ss

The Supreme Court upheld, 8 to O.
today a South Carolina tax on
premiums collected there by out-of-
State insurance companies.
Fifteen other States have similar
taxes.
The Prudential insurance Co. of
America, with home office in New
ark, N. j., questioned the tax as a
result of the tribunals 1914 decision
that the insurance business is inter-
state commerce.
Company Contentious Cited.
Congress later passed an act stat
ing that insurance should continue
to be subject to State laws relating
to the regulation of taxation of the
business.
Prudential argued that the act
referred to regulation and taxation
which does not impose an undue
burden on interstate commerce and
which does not discriminate against
interstate business. Such a prem
lum tax does both, it contended.
Prudential said the total of its
1s45 taxes paid to the is States was
$6,072. 1855. 1t estimated all insur-
ance companies paid S32 300 900 to
the is States. They are Alabama
Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas,
Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi,
Nebraska, North Dakota. Ohio, Ok
lahoma, Pennsylvania. Texas, Wis
consin and South Carolina.
3 Per Cent Levy Upheld.
South Carolina levied a per cent
tax which the Supreme Court had
upheld.
The Supreme Court, in an opinion
by Justice Rutledge, said that no
conceivable violation of the COM
merce clause of the Federal Consti-
tuition. in letter or spirit" was pre-
sented i'll this case.
Justice Rutledge said to rule
against South Carolina would estab-
lish ruling never heretofore made
and in doing this would depart from
the whole trend of decision in a
great variety of situations most
analogous to the one now pre-
sented"
