Wall street, which is seldom (without "explanation" for a price movement. In either direction, wa3 flooded with rumors than an era of "melon cutting" was in store. Burners Seem Backed Up The declaration of an extra cash dividend of ten dolars ou the com mon stock of the Standard Oil com pany of Nebraska seemed to fit in with these rumors. The United States Steel corporation had an un divided surplus of more than half a billion dollars, but Chairman Gary has repeatedly denied reports in re cent years that it was to be capital ized through tU declaration of a stock dividend. Considerable interest attaches, however, to the meeting of General Motors directors on November 12, when it is expected that a "gener ous Christmas dividend" will be de clared.

De siring to make the maximum possi ble reduction in taxes, the house ways and means committee today asked the treasury, which has sug gested a limit of 300 million dollars, to present additional data on proba ble government expenses and receipts for the next fiscal year so it can determine for itself how far to go tn cutting levies. This was the committee's first move when it started work today on the actual preparation of a tax reduction bill after more than two weeks of public hearings. While Secretary Mellon proposed that the government's annual in come be reduced by not more than 300 million dollars, committee mem bers feel it may be possible, on the basis of late estimates, to go be yond this figure. President Coolidge inclines to a similar view. All of the 25 members of the com mittee were present today at the first of its executive sessions, and indi cations were renewed that represen tatives of both parties would work together to draft a nonpartisan measure in time , for presentation v licit .vnt)irco 14 v v. iai m.
