Complicated Instrument Causing Much Worry Sav ings Institution Ofiieial Discusses Plan to Popularize Acceptances rpo USL2 a colloquial expression." remarked a well-known banker yesterday, "the Income-lax blank lias got the goat of every one In the financial district." Ho went on to describe some of the expressions which he said were being given out on all sides. It Is not, lie said, that people aro against the payment of such tnxc.i as they should pay, but to pile on top of that payment the Ailing out of a form that the "13, U. In" puzzlo or "pigs In clover" Is child's play oh compared with It. An up-to-date broker, who was worrying over bis blank, bald ho had heard of a negro prenclier who preached a sermon on "How to Unscrew tho Inscrutable." ,"I only wish I hud lilm here," tald the broker. "1 would give teri cents for a copy of that sermon." On nil sides every one Is talking about these tax blanks and wonder ing what the Treasury Department had In mind In getting out such A complicated Instrument when, as lliey claim, better results could be obtolned by making the necessary returns as simple as possible. One thing Is certain, that the banks nnd trust companies that are providing this service free for their customers will have nil their special Income-tax departments can attend to for some time to come. Popularizing Acceptances as Savings-Bank Investments A dispatch from New York yesterday said that the saving! hank section of the American Bankers' Association announced the completion of plans to popularize acceptances as savings bank Investments. Some days ago It was also stated that the savings banks of New York slate had started it movement looking to a connection with the I'cdcral Itcscne System. The vlco president of one of tho large local savings Institutions tald as regards tho purchasing of acceptances for Investments In savings banks of this city nnd slate It could not be done nt present at least. While he had no fault to find with acceptances as such, they did not come up to the standard of the investments for tavlngs Institutions. Inci dentally, he said that years ago, In tho early dajs of his connection with tho banking business In this country, acceptances were not by any means uncommon as financial instruments, and ho hoped they would become .so again. Ho had not heard of nny movement by tho savings bunks of this city und state to connect with the Federal Keservo System. $5 Premium Is Offered for Certain $10 Note Who lias a 10 note of tho series Issued by tbe First Notional Hank of nurwell, Neb., signed by W.

Build ot Concrete Philadelphia ffEwJrJRK Boston As tho time to lounch tho Victory Liberty Loan draws nturer tlio views of bnnkerH mill brokers becomo more ilefluetl until they havo naturally developed Into two OUtlnct camps on whether the rumpulKn should bo conducted on u platform of patriotism or from u purely busi ness basis. There Is In addition ii difference of opinion us to whether the notes should be Issued on a B per cent basis, subject to till federal taxes, or on a 4 per cent tax-free basis. Those who uruo for the higher Interest rate say that without such a rate It would bo linpotslblc to sell them to the public, and the government In tuich a. cai-o would have to fall back upon the bunks. In New York stute the Association of Htate Banks has gone on record In favor of B per cent on notes which would bo subject to federal taxation and I per cent on tax-free paper. Bankers In this city acknowledge that It Is too early to decide on tlio correct rote of interest for the Liberty Victory notes, nnd that It would not be good business to announce the rate or ratos till a few days beforo tho campaign opens. One thing Is certu.'n, that whatever tho rate on which Secretary of the Treasury Olass decides, It will have a direct bearing on tho general market pobltlon of bonds ami on the need for tho conservation of bank credlUs for commercial purposes. Business Conditions in Great Britain Conditions of labor, business and Hnanco In Oreat Britain eom to be about the same ns wc find them here, according to H. Gordon b'elfrldge, tho head of Selfrldpe & Co., London, tho biggest department store In that city, conducted on tho plans of an American department store, who saysf ... "There Is still a wide difference of opinion us to the prices that Iner chandlso should 'and must bring during tho coming months. I, personally, cannot sec how prices Bhall be maintained ut their present rates becuuto the enormous numbers of manufacturers, who heretofore havo been on war work exclusively, arc now frco for civil requirements. During tho last few years manufacturers have leurned that their machines are capable of doing very much more than they had considered possible In pre-war days. "Factories have been making more of everything than they ever did before und It Is not likely their owners will settle back Into tho old, easy-going methods. The more a. machine makes the less aro overhead charges, of course, and this bhould work towurd lower prices of mer chandise. On the other hand, wages and salaries have Increased decidedly und there Is a general desire that they shall not recede niorb than Is necessary from their present point. "flaw materials, of course, aro higher and the cost of carriage and insurance, which have been a great factor, still show their effects becuum most of the. stuff on hand now has been brought to this country at high cost. "One factor which h continually used by the manufacturer to main tain higher prices Is a claim J:hat orders for 'export aro very heavy. We have pooh-poohed this argument and Insisted that they were not great enough to be a deciding factor, nevertheless wo find even up to now, the end of January, difficulty to obtain any concessions in prices except In a few directions. We insist that prices must come down, gradually, at any rate, If not as rapidly as would have seemed likely. We find our selves only. buying closely from hand to mouth and we decline to place orders ahead beyond the bare requirements." Liberty Loan Bondb displayed weakness throughout yesterday, al though prices were not substantially changed from those obtaining at tho close of business on Saturday, The passage of the new revenue bill was accepted with considerable satisfaction in the Street, as it had been feared that It might be delayed until after the adjournment of tho present session of Congress. Foreign government bonds were Irregular, although prices held firm, particularly for the Anglo-French 5s and the French Republic &Ks. The French municipals were slightly lower.. Dominion of Canada bonds were fractionally abovo last week's levels. New York city bonds were slightly lower, with but few changing hands. Throughout the Industrial list there was a tendency toward moderately higher prices, although operations were confined within somewhat nar row limits, rtallroad bonds were more active and a little above last week's figures. A good deal of Interest attended the bidding on the $8,000,000 4V4 per cent thirty-year city of Philadelphia bonds, which were awarded to u syndicate composed of Drexel & Co., Brown Brothers & Co. and the Guarantee Trust Company of New York. The bid of tho syndicate was for all or none at 100.61, Bond houses generally seemed satisfied at the result, although a higher bid was expected. It Is said n local house will soon put out au Issue of Jl, 81)0,000 C per cent serial, bonds of the Autocar Company. ' r.i..rlln0- VPBL i This clause had been stricken out.
