Washington.— Merchants and manu
facturers may adopt "cost or market,

! tax returns under regulations issued
by the bureau of internal revenue. The
regulations also provide that the d if
ference caused by the fall of prices
during the year may be deducted in
arrivin g at the value of stock.
Secretary Houston and officials of
the Internal revenue bureau were with
out estimates as to the difference in
revenues which may result from valu
ation at “ m arket” rather than “ cost.”
The belief was expressed in some
quarters that the difference would ruu
into many m illions o f dollars. Inter
nal revenue bureau officials explained
that the law permits o f a choice of
basis and under present conditions
“ market” reflects more accurately the
state o { business conditions. To re
quire inventories at a cost higher than
“ market,” It was added, would be to
put a tax on Investment rather than
on income.
Inventories of taxpayers on what
ever basis taken will be subject to in
vestigation, the revenue bureau an
nounced, and taxpayers must satisfy
the bureau of the correctness of the
prices adopted.
