The Income tax wifi be a factor in the market between new and the year-end.

Traders and others will be evening accounts either to take advantage of the reduction planned in the levies on 1929 incomes, or to establish losses which can be deducted. As result, there should be buying end selling of stocks which could cause quite some irregularity at times, fTHOUGH output of furnaces and A mills have shown further contraction during the week, the Steel Trade Journals report a much better spirit prevailing both among steel buyers and seli- has been discussing a rumor that ers. The atamina which business Copperweld may be merged into generally has shown in face of the Anaconda Copper group the heavy break to stocks, they, through Anaconda Wire and find, has gone far toward restor-s Cable. Gossip puts ths deal on a ing confidence in the steel trade share-for-share basis, but there where it had been shaken. Though has been no official ilit.ma tion.

production has fallen off some-, tnat such deal Is even In prospect, what, the rate of consumption is holding up with no indication of general curtailment and with most leading lines holding their own or Improving. The approach of the Inventory season is remarked as likely to have some effect over the next little while, At present prices, gold dust Is selling almost 50 per cent under its recent high. As a result of the decline, the technical position of ths stock is believed to have been materially improved and those who have been following the eompany are of the opinion that when the market again rights itself, this issue will prove prominent on the upside. Earnings estimates for this year run as high as $4 a share, against an annual dividend requirement of $2.59, Around present levels gold dust yields approximately 6 per cent. SINCE the start of the week.

United States Bteel has been prominent on the upside and market observers are looking to big steel" to lead the list out of the woods. There Is plenty of ammunition on which to base operations for the rise In steel. The directors have declared an extra cash dividend of $1 and stockholders will more than likly receive additional returns after the start of the new year. Regular annual dividend rate of $7 a common share will be earned about three times over in 1929, which will mark the greatest peace time year in companys history. Ambitious program of railway executives, recently outlined at Washington, wifi mean a good volume of business for steel from this source.

Close observers were satisfied that the market, in moving further ahead on the recovery yesterday, was forced to wade through a good deal in the wav of selling pressure. Considerable profit taking was being done by traders who bad bought for a turn at the lower levels recently prevailing, while, at the same time, it was evident that npt a little of the stock which had been bought for support purposes by one means or another, was finding its way back to the market. Scattered selling of that character was reported especially evident in steel common, where one broker, who had been a heavy buver on the break, was on the selling side yesterday. Do. Do.

Morgan still been alive and active, Wall Btieets forces would have been promptly marshaled to fight the Insensate demoralization which overtook the stock market. At times of prises, J. by unanimous consent, became Americas financial com-uiander-in-cluef. And when he gave orders, no banker dared to disobey. Morgan became mighty, not because his resources transcended all otheis but because his downright honesty was recognized by every individual and interest In the financial world.

Wall Street possesses today no trojan standing head and shoulders above all others. 7 he house of Morgan Is. indeed, infinitely richer and greater ill its ramifications than it ever was in the days of its founder. But the present J. P.

Morgan never aspned to fill the role of America's active financial commander-in-chief in succession to hi fafher. Thu3. Wall Street has no superman Its hour of need. yiIAT would a Mussolini have ii been worth to the oil industry of America and of the world In recent times? What would he not have been worth? Kad there been In the ol! industry a 'towering superman, one whose leadership would have been unquestionably accepted bv other leaders. Think If the billions of dollars of iniquitous waste hich could have been prevented? If such a suoerman could have Issued effective decrees to stop over-pi oductlon, to abolish ci irnmal-ly wasteful methods of the earths storehouse of oil and natural gas, to forbid senseless duplication of drilling, he would have conserved priceless, irreplaceable natural resources for which there may one day be the direct need.

True, Sir Henri Deterdlng abioad and Walter Teigle at home, both giants of great vision and ability, tried to bring about moie sensible conditions, but they have not been able to overcome the forces operating against them perhaps partly for the reason that they were looked upon as Interested parties, whereas the late J. P. Morgan was never, In a crbls, even remotely suspected of desiring to play selfishly into his own hand. THE worlds sugar industry Is demoralized. T.

C. Ulbright, vice president of the American Chamber of Commerce of Cuba, who has been visiting the Philippines, was quoted yesterday as saying in Manila: "I have observed that leaders in both political and Industrial groups concur In the opinion that one of the first steps here should be the voluntary limitation of the Philippine sugar production. We have reached the point where something must be done In a big, broad, international way to place the whole industry on a more economically sound basis through international co-operation." In other words, a superman, able to dictate to the world's sugar producers, is what is needed to evolve order out of chaos, profits to place of losses, PERHAPS the worst-managed industry of all has been coal. Its history has been blackened by periodical upheavals involving dislocation of general business, fuel famines, starvation of miners. The coal industry has always lacked masterly leadership acceptable to producers, to miners, to consumers.

Nor is any superman yet within sight to re-establkh the 'industry to public confidence. i THE woolen industry needs a superman not of the William M. Wood type. The cotton textile industry needs a superman. The cement industry needs a superman.

Cotton-growers need a superman. Wheat growers need a superman to direct their marketing. The lumber industry needs a superman needs it very badly. The rubber industry needs a superman. A NUMBER of Industries have found so-called "czars." In the results apparently have been reasonable "ctl-" ell rrranrl.

Jtfclge Cr-y for tong was the superman rf the industry, He ciid not try to r.ilc with a rod of Iron, but attained his far-reaching influence by example rather than precept. It Is Interesting to reflect that this influence became greatest after competitors recognized that he was ready to consider, not only his wn company, but the interests of competitors and also the public, Herbert hoover proved a superman in directing wartime relief for stricken nations. He Is now confronted by another task demanding the qualities of a superman.

Independents are under 70 per cent against better than 72 per cent last week and a little over 75 per cent two weks ago. United Stitw Steel Is at 73 per cent aator 7L per cent a week ago and a frr.itlon over 89 per cent two weeks ago. At this time last year United States Steel was running at between 79 and 80 per cent with independents at 82 per cent and the average was about 81 per cent. The National Association of Flat Rolled Steel Manufacturers, which Includes practically alt the independent sheet steel and strip makers of the country, reports operations of mills to the past week as follows: common sheets black and galvanized, 69 percent: full finished sheets, 49 per cent; hot rolled strip steel, 28 per cent; Cold rolled strip steel, 27 per cent.

fAP.) How the National City Bank, of New York, one of the most powerful financial institutions of the world, loosed its pure strings to advocate lesser duties on slgar during the tariff dispute was related todav to the Senate Bobby Committee. Aitparing as a Witness before the committee, Gordon S. Rent-sciiler, president of the bank, testified that Its monthly bulletin, which cost $200,000 a year, was used to disseminate material on the subject and that a. direct contribution of $10,000 had been made to a fund for use to presenting to Congress information advocating a low tariff on the product. Mr.

Rentschter was not asked and he did not volunteer to estimate the proportion of the $200,000 annual expenditure for the bulletin which might be charged to the Item of sugar duties. The bulletin, he said, was issued for the discussion of general business conditions, and he expressed the opinion that his company had a right to give its views on any economic problem. Asserting that the bank was forced Into the sugar business after the depressions of 1920 and 1921 In order to save be-tw-een $30,000,000 and in slow or doubtful loans in Cuba, the witness asserted that the institution would liquidate its holdings for 'a fair return and did not intend to remain In the trade permanently. 12 05 12 27 29 17, 36 6 43 15374 December January May 11 28 11 90 2 Niles Pd 304 2Niptss Mm. 17, 20Noran 37 15 A Aviat, 674 1 North B.
