Decline Sets In During Late Trading On Bearish Reports ‘CHICAGO, Jan. corn opened with an upward ten- dency today, the market soon re- ceded as a result of heavy selling on the part of large holders.

Subsequently the market was weakened by reports that France had caneelled some smal! purchases of wheat.

The- herd had won bluo ribbons in nearly every mid-west livestock ex- hibit. | ha SY RT Tribune Want Ads bring results| today from Greybull. the Michigan senator had challeng- ed Mr. Mellon to tell the country what effect the Mellon plan would have on hig own personal taxes. The secretary's reply did not mention that subject, however, but instead. again inquired whether the present high surtax rates had not impelled Mr. Couzens to invest a large part of his wealth in tax exempt securities. Mr. Mellon also disregarded Sena- tor Couzen's challenge to a joint de- bate on the Mellon plan, “Your case is not unique,” wrote the secretary. “There are many other men in similar situation. Your case is of interest, solely as an il- Justration.” Mr. Mellon emphatically dented he had abandoned his proposition that high surtaxes were becoming less productive. Mr. Couzen's state- ment to that effect, the secretary said, seemed to be a conclusion ar- rived at by some “unique process of reasoning,” which the treasury head found himself unable to understand. “You try to answer the railroads’ need for stock investments,” the letter went on, “by the usual pollti- cal diatribe ‘against them. The Question is can they obtain the capl- tal which is required to meet the country's needs and this depends upon what ‘they can offer investors. Under the present surtaxes, and it is they which have been the con- tinuous subject of our correspond- ence, a six percent stock nets the small income six per cent. It nets the large income only three percent. That is what I meant by inadequacy of return, and its correction Mes in lowering of sur-tax rates.” MAS, FRANK E, LUCAS ON ROAD TO RECOVERY CHEYENNE, Wyo., Jan. 25.— Mrs. Lucas, wife of Secretary of State Frank L.
