Agitation for still higher nricea for wheat
is having a steadying effect upon the market
lor coarse grains, although trading m ail cereal
remains on a very nominal basis.
Substitute flours are qui with prices un
changed and considered fairly steedv.
The milling division of the food admlnlstr.
tions sends use following advice to millers re
garding the application ox excess nrofit taie
( 1 Excess profits taxes and income taxes
are not allowable items of expense. Any re
erves inai may nave Been set aside for tbeae
taxea are to ba reckoned u .t n.n.. fnr t h.
purpose of the mill's own commercial account
ing only. For the purposes of accounting with
the food administration, no payments of such
taxes, or reserves for their psyment. are to be
reckoned aa items of expense.
(21 Mills which have grounds for believ
ing that tha excess profits taxea 'assessed on
them operate inequitably, or not in accord with
tbe intent of the law, a compared with other
mills, because) of differeneea in the bal of
invested capital, different date for annual rut
off and consequently for talable year, or other
circumstances, may make application to the
equalization board of the department of internal
revenue, with a statement of their Case, for
consideration by that' board in tho exercise of
ita established functions.
(3) The attention of mills Is called again
to the letter of commissioner of internal rev
enue of date June 1 (milling division circular
form M. 1. 1323). Mills whone profits re
turn for tbe period between September 10
(September 1) and December 81. 1917,
showed a profit above the allowable maximums
are required to eliminate such accumulation of
unallowable profits in the subsequent period of
food administration control. In ease surb ex
cess profits have been reported to the depart
ment of the internal revenue aa eonatituent
parts of the total net earnings assessable for
income taxes and excess profits taxes, the full
amount assessed should be paid when due. The
mill should later apply to the internal revenue
department, on the regular form, for a re
fund of th taxea on such profits later wiped
out, as for a refund of taxes erroneously or
illegally collected.
(a) While section (3) is framed so as to
apply In strictness only to mills wbose fisrsl
yesr (taxable year) Is the same as the calendar
year, the same principle would be applicable to
mills having a different cut-off.
lb) In reference to the certificate re
ferred to in letter of the commissioner of In
ternal revenue under date June 1 (milling
division circular form M. D. 1325), applica
tion for these should be addressed to the mill
ing division, Nr 74 Broadway, New York city,
accompanied by proper supporting statement
l. jn tne case or mill who on Janus ry
reported as taxable income. Dtofft irrnmnU
tions iu excess of the allowable maximum un- 1
der food administration, certificate should ac
company any application to tbe internal rev
enue department for refund of taxes on such
profits later wiped out, as for a refund of
taxes erroneously or illegally collected.
Z. In tne case of mills who have alrmdv
liquidated profit in sxcesa of the allowable
food administration maximum by sales at nom
inal prices to the army, navy or food admin
istration, certificates covering these transactions
would be desirable to justify such liquidation
in the event of inspection of the mill s books
by an inspector of the Internal revenue de-'
part meet
8. In tbe ease of mill whose fiscal Tear
(taxable year) is July 1. 1918. and who have
not effected distribution of any accumulations
in excess or the maximum allowable under food
administration, certificates should be obtained to
accompany tha mill's tax returns in order to
include such items aa allowable deductions.
4. if tbe mills fiscal year (taxable year)
comes at a later dhie than July 1, 1918. it
would require certificates covering liquidation
effected by salea in the order prescribed by the
iooa administration above.
5. Mills who have ground out their wheat
allotment or are unable to obtain supplies to
manufacture products on which to effect dis
bursement of accumulated excess profits, are ac
corded the privilege of filing corrected Invoices
on sales previously made to the Grain cor
poration, auch invoices to be accompanied by
checks in the. amount of the correction ef
fected. On receipt of same, the food admin
istration will issue certificates for the amounts
so liquidated.
in regard to flour and wheat contracts made
prior to June 30:
Mills should not make salea of flour or feed
prior to July 1 for delivery, either for imme
diate or subsequent deUvery, except to the ex
tent of his unsold wheat actually on band or
contracted lor.
All sales made must be in conformity with
present food administration regulations, both as
to price ana profit limitations.
mum wii nave ground vu per cent or more
of their allotment will be expected to turn
over to the Grain corporation all wheat on hand
at tne close of business June 29, regardless of
uniniea iiour or wneat contracts. -
MlUa who have not ground 90 per cent of
their original allotment may retain on hand,
subject to their own use after June 29, an
amount of wheat sufficient to bring their total
grind up to 90 per cent of their original
wneat allotment.
All flour aales made aaainst mch wheat fin-
plies must be made in conformity with present
food administration regulations, both as to price
ana prom limitations.
ane Gram corporation will, subsequent to
June 29. continue the distribution of wheat
under its control to mills who have not ground
uieir u per cent allotment. .
Preference will be given as far as possible
so mms wiui a low percentage of grind.

have submitted the required price fix
ing information to the government. It ia
felt that business will quickly acoemmo

may be found necessary la bringing; 00 n-
dltions to a mora efficient war baala. '
The general tendency toward home and.

try has given a decided Impetus ta tha
selling of piece roods, dress trimmings,
thread, buttons, etc Although eaJea of
ailk goods are very heavy, much dlffW '
culty la experienced in getting; shipments
from the mills. Merchants who receive
their at-once ailk shipments oa a 30
day delivery schedule consider them
aalves fortunate at present. Linens from
Ireland are arriving ia small lota.
Ready-to-wear lines, especially cotton,
voile and organdy waists, aviso waea
skirts, are very active. The gleve sit
uation keenly feels the effect of labor,
shortages at the mills. However, tha
tendency of some mllle to send out au
tomobiles to pick up employes from com
peting mills la frowned upon as a stop
that eventually may work disastrously.
Th leading shades in Sieve aelllnc at
