BUSINESS GROWTH DECLARED HEALTHY Little Fear of Inflation Is Seen—Loans $250,000,000 Under 1923 Record. By the Associated Pres: NEW YORK, January 30.—Wall Street statisticians regard the ex-| pansion that {s taking place in busi-| iness without evidence of a boom that|not only ultimately might lead to inflation, as, the best feature of the general (im-| provement. Price advances of lead- ing commodities have been moderate | without any rush to pile up inven-| tories. Money has remained easy, in-| dicating, it Is sald, no overextension of credlt. while industry as a whole| has never been stronger In cash and | working capital. Proof of lack of| overextension In Wall Street is based on the fact that despite record-break- ing trading, brokers' loans are $250.- 000,000 lower than in February, 1923, when the $2,000,000,000 peak was reached and the conservative forward trend of business is Seen as a sign of a long stretch of prosperity Oil Shares Lead Stocks. Tnoreased public attention drawn to the oll stocks by price advances in sasoline and crude oll and decreased production in the Wortham fleld, Texas, has given them the lead in stock market transactions in point of volume of ghares traded in. Last Wednesday 18 oil stocks accounted for 830,000 of the turnover of 1.642,- 000 shares on the stock exchange, or about 40 per cent of the day's total trading, advances ranging from 13 voint ~to 2% points.

ARTICLE NO. 19. Bad debts constitute a coneiderable of many taxpayers, and may be treated in one of two ways, either by deduction from income in re- spect of debts ascertained to be worth- less in whole or in part, or by a dedue- tion from income of a reasonable addi- tion to a reserve for bad debts. Taxpayers for the taxable year 1921 to select either method. the uge of which was required for sub- years and applies to returns under the revenue act of 1924, unless permission to change is obtained from the commissioner of internal revenue. A taxpayer filing for the year 1 a first return of income may select either method, subject to approval by the com- missioner upon examination of the re- turn. If the method selected is approved it must be followed In returns for sub: quent ars, except as permission may bs granted by the commissioner to change. Permission to adopt the reserve method is r ricted to taxpayers having a large number of accounts Wwhere credit has been extended to cover a considerable period of time: It is| not granted for the purpose of handling one specific debt What constitutes “a reasonable ad- | dition” to a reserve for bad debts must be determined in light of the facts, and will vary as betweén classes of business and with conditions of business prosperity. A taxpayer using the reserve method should show in his return the volume of his charge sales (or other business trana. actions) for the year and the percent- age of the reserve to such amount, the total amount of notes and ac- counts receivable at the beginning and close of the taxable year, and the total amount of debts ascertained to be wholly or partially worthless and charged against the reserve dur- ing the taxable year.' Partial deductions are allowed with respect to specific debts only. Be- fore a taxpayer may charge off and deduct a debt in part he must ascer- tain and be able to demonstrate, with a reasonable degree of certainty, the amount thereof which is uncollectible. Amounts subsequently recovered on account of a bad debt, or on account of a part of such bad debt, previously charged off and allowed as a deduc- tion for income tax purposes, must be included in gross income for the year | Special Dispateh to The Star. | 30,000 | 26a31; Leghorns, 22a26; Winter chick- | roosters, 16a17; capons, 30a38; young in which received.

NEW YORK, January 30.—Store- keepers throughout the country are sitting on the velyet cus| fons as a result of present condi- tions, but they are putting rubber ires under their businesses with the ald of the truck manufacturer. No longer content to select the “dollar” side of a business street and wait for customers to enter their doors, they are carrying their stores to the doors of their customers A dozen successful groceries on wheels are now making their. daily rounds in various cities and country communities. One Detroit concern had broadened its rolling stocks to include hardware and builders’ supply | lines. The trucks carrying these | supplies will circulate daily through the suburbs of that thriving in-| dustrial center, where more than new homes are under con- struction Adopt New MOk Method. Truck companies are not only tak- & the place of the morning milk train in collecting lacteal flud from the farms, but are transporting it rght to the consumers' ice boxes. These trucks are equipped with elec- tric refrigeration, operated on the same principle as the refrigerators in the newer type of houses and apart- ments. They have a capacity equal to that of the ofl and gasoline trucks and also can be made to carry dozens of five-gallon cans along the sides. The traveling grocery store has been in operation for some time in varfous cities, and is giving an excel- lent account of itself. The average investment for each store is mated at approximately $5,700, and the profit of each unit, according to one concern, which also operates 80 non-movable chain groceries, is equal to that of the average chain store es- | tablishment. Boats to Carry Goods. Congestion of highways has turned attention of gasoline motor designers to the waterways of the country. Self- propelled cargo barges are being turned out In large quantitics equip- ped In much the same way ms the trucks. but of infinitely larger carry- ing capacity. Makers are convinced that the development of water craft will turn the attention of the public to motor boating. They are preparing | to fll the motor boat demand at Ford | prices by turning out such craft on a quantity bas GASOLINE PRODUCTION | MADE BIG GAIN IN YEAR| The output of the petroleum fining industry was valued at $1,793,- 700,087 in 1923, an increase of 3.8 per cent over 1921, according to fig- ures made public today by the Cen- sus Burcan tion increased from 098,036,740 gallons, valued $840,- 672,320, in 1921, to 7,310,653,526 gal- lons, valued at $876,732,346, in 1923, the average price per gallon at the re- finery declining from 16.5 cents in 1921 to 12 cents in 1923, the figures revealed GASOLINE GOES STILL HIGHER IN MARYLAND| By the Amociated Press NEW YORK, January Standard Ofl Co. of New advanced tank wagon in New Jersey 50.—~The Jersey has | gasoline 1 cent and Maryland, except | Baltimore, making the price in New | Jersey 17 cents and in Maryiand 18/ ts.
