In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, April s.—For some while to come, the railroad industry will be the subject of much important public discussion. Today executive officers of the leading and proposed eastern trunk lines will meet to continue arbitration of certain difficulties, and from this meeting some indication may be had as to whether the Loree in Cubus will prevail or whether a great step toward actual consolidation planning is possible. At Washington Congress will presently discuss rail consolidation and probably pass the Parker bill, which is expected to accelerata matters. Also current reports of earnigs, carloadings and freight charges will serve to capture and hold public interest. Candidly, we doubt if there is another industry represented on the exchange enjoying so many or as important fundamentals, certainly the rails have not • responded marketwise to recent developments as have other industries, but considering all factors, they are quite likely to, for, heretofore, interest was centered on only a few stocks, which, by flamboyant activity, caused traders to lose all thought of value for the spectacular, but with more normal stock market conditions, a return to fundamentals will occur and probably center in the rails and other issues thought deserving.

CORN FOLLOWS SHARP DROP IN WHEAT PRICES Liverpool Weakness and Rains in Belt Send Major Grain Lower. P.’i United Press CHICAGO, April s—Weakness at Liverpool and heavy rains over the grain belt, sent wheat sharply lower at today’s opening on the Foard of Trade. Corn was supported Wednesday mainly by firmness in wheat, and when that grain declined this morning, com broke sharply. Opening figures were; Wheat, % to 7 sc lower; corn, % to l’ic off: and oats. % to %c down. Provisions worked lower. The decline in all grains was due in some measure to the f. t that traders are afraid to hold their grain, anticipating some bearish development over the holiday Friday. Wheat sentiment was mixed. Heavy rains over southwest winter wheat fields dispelled danger of a c ought, but the central beltstill reports unfavorably. Corn sentiment is distinctly bearish, although bad belt weather is checking the country movement, and receipts continue small. Oats are sluggish, weakened by seeing of the new crop.

PARTIES CLASH ON AMOUNT OF TAX REDUCTION Democrats in Senate Hold Out for Slash of 300 Million. BY KENNETH CRAWFORD United Tress Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, April s.—Tax reduction before adjournment of Congress appeared a certainty today with the Senate Finance Committee on record unanimously favoring a cut. Republican members of the committee, which is considering the $289,000,000 House bill, are opposed to a reduction of more than $201.000,000, the approximate maximum recommended by the Treasury Department, while Democratic members favor a $300,000,000 slash. G. O. P. Wins Tilt Republicans won their first, fight Wednesday when the committee voted to reduce the corporation tax from the present 13% per cent to 12 per cent. The House bill provides for 11% per cent and the Democrats favored 11 per cent. Another close contest is expected when the committee takes up the House bill provision for repeal of the 3 per cent automobile tax. The Democrats favor repeal and may win some Republican support, despite the opposition of Secretary of Treasury Mellon. Senator Couzens of Michigan, a Republican member of the committee, is the principal champion of automobile tax repeal in the Senate. He will probably desert his party to vote with the Democrats on this item. Surtax Hearing Delayed Administrative provisions of the House bill will be considered at another executive committee hearing today. Intermediate surtax and’ amusement tax features will be taken up later. No hearings will be held unless ihe Democrats insist that automobile manufacturers be given an opportunity to present their case for repeal of the automobile tax. Senator Simmons of North Carolina, ranking Democratic member of the committee, has announced he will carry his fight for large tax reduction to the floor ot ihe Senate if defeated in the committee.
