ANNUAL BUDGET BE PRESENTED, GREAT BRITAIN Over Twofilion Dollars Must Be Raised for Commg Year TAX REDUCTIONS ARE TO BE MADE Secrets of How Money Is| to Be Secured to Be Revealed Tomorrow LONDON, Ap: 24.—Faced with financial uncertainty unparalleled in modern times, Neville Chambe=- lain, Chancellor of the Exchequer, will present to Parliament tomor- row Great Britain’s annual budget revealing secrets of how more than two billion dollars must be raised this year. The budget contains no provision for the June installment of the American war debt but recalls that no provision was made for last December's installment. It is believed that the only tax reductions in sight is a penny in the beer tax and possibly slight reductions in income taxes. The beer tax reduction is re- garded as a sop to the masses. The income tax cut is considered as a reward to the middle andl upper classes for heavy financial sacrifices during recent years.

Five million shares were today’s turnover. Wheat resisted profit-taking to close with small gains. * Curb prices forged ahead with' wide recessions for some leaders at the close. The strength of second- ary corporation loans and firmness of the United States Governmeat securities gave the bond market a buoyant appearance. i Leadership rotated from group to group with oils, motors, rails, and steels strong at various times. In the final dealings, industrials did better than rails or utilities. A few issues turned heavy. American Telephone and Tele- graph was up more than three points and slid back more than one point from the top. Oils made gains of around one point although Standard Oil of New Jersey was reduced to a frac- tion of a gain, United States Steel, common, finished up one point after a gain of two points. Rails were about unchanged at the close. Tobaccos sagged from fractions to a point under the closing of last Saturday.
