The Financial Situntion
Tu reduction and tax simplifica—
tion. both Federal and State, have
become the leading topics 09 inter-
est not merely in political but also
in market circles. and the prospect
of securing action in both direction:
has greatly improved sentiment
among investors and operators in
securities. says James B. Clews in
his. weekly review 01' “’all Street.
Developments since Congress opened
have tendedfliié‘ very largely to
strengthen the opinion that that
body may be induced to adopt some-
thing quite closely similar to the
Bfellon plan. even it not that plan
itself: while Governor Smith's pro-
posal to cut the State income tax by
25 per cent. will be a. very welcome
relief to many who have found the
combined burdens of the Federal
and State taxes very nearly unbear-
able.
Complete returns for 1923 are
now available in a. number 0! kn

mobile producers have actually ex-
ceeded the expected record of -l.-
000.000 cars. Steel ingot and pig

during December. the reported in-
got output for that month being
Well up to that of November and
only 450,000 tons less than Decem-
ber 1922. when plants were run-
ning at a. very high level. Orders
that have been received by equip-
uient companies are again rising.
with the result that me demand icr
steel during coming months is ex-
pected to be very strong. and st=cl
producers assert that after the first
quarter of 1924 they look forward
to strong continuous growth in out-
put. Since the first of the year the
steel and iron companies have
booked considerable new business
and this implies that other branches
of trade are also looking up. Un-
fllled tonnage of the U. S. Steel Cor-
poration for December discloeed an
increase of about 77. 000 tons. as
against a. decrease of 300 000 tons in

\Vorsted yarn prices are expected
to Work their “by to higher levels
before February 1. In support of
their contention that prevailing
\alues ure'unrcusonably low, being
much below replacement costs. and
that an upward movement will soon
be begun, spinners point to the fact
that present quotations are fully 10
per cent. below the peak for last
year and that the raw wool mar-
hot is up fully in per cent. The
spinners declared that us soon as an
improvement in business occurs
they will begin adjusting their
prices to levels in line with replace-
is
next fall.
To Determine Competency
Declaring that the steady influx
of irresponsible men into the dress
industry is the cause or all the
evils that beset the industry. the
Association of Dress Manufacturers
has developed a. plan for a central
factor. composed of the factors now
governing the industry to deter-
mine thc business competency oi all
men or concerns entering the dlcss
business.
Anticipate Yarn Buying
Although it is generally expectrd
in the cotton yarn trade that a. re-
vival of active buying will be wit.
ncssed around the middle of the
month. buyers as yet have givcn‘to
indications that they are contemp-
lating broad purchasing. Consum—
ers do not appear to have become
reconciled to the higher level
prices that was established several
Weeks ago in consequence of the
sharp rise in raw cotton. and seem
to be deferring their buying Opt-mil

Buys Southern Pacific Ships.
The Southern Pacific Company has
sold two ships. the Excelsior and the
Chelmette. and its good will and in- '
terest in the New Orleans-Havana
Steamship Line to the Munson
Steamship Line, according to an an-
nouncement made by Lewis J.
Spence director of traffic of South-'
em Pacific. The statement by Mr.
Spence said:
‘ sc» .1
cording to John V. Farwell Coni- ;
feature in the cotton situation is the
"For a. long time our New Orleans-
anana Steamship Line has been on.
profitable. but we were not. willing
to deprive the public of a. service
which has been maintianed for IO
many years and have therefore con-
tinued to operate the service at a.
loss. The offer of the Munson
Steamship Line to continue this ser-
vice without interruption has afford-
ed the opportunity to dispose of our
good will and interest in the line and
the two steamers operated therin
public .
"The ownership by the Munson
Steamship Line of its own “hart and
terminal facilities at Hmnna will
enable that line to sine a substantial
rental that we have been compelled
to pay for such facilities and this is
expected to‘ct‘fcct a. saving in operat—
ing expenses which will contribute
toward overcoming the losses that
“‘e have continuously sustained."
