New York, Nov. 4. Wall street
today experienced its greatest boom
stock market In nearly ten years.
Total sales were calculated by As- r?
sociated Press tabulators at 2,801,600 Si.
shares, or 99 thousand above the pre-'&t
vious year's high established on Oc
tober 16 and the largest since the , &
famous "three million sliare" mar -

United States Steel Leads
United States Steel common, which

leader, jumping over
13414. the highest pric
when the peak price
established. Total transactions in
this one issue exceeded 160 thousand
shares.
The rally like so many which have
preceded it within the last few
weeks, was not associated with any
outstanding development in the day's
news. 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. Preliminary estimates range
from $1 to $3 a share.

May Cut Tax
Total by Some
300 Millions
Eonse Committee Members Ask
Treasury for More Specific
Facts.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 4. 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.
Under a program of procedure ap-
proved today the committee will
tackle the income taxes after set
ling its goal for total reduction.
Secretary Mellon recommended a
cut in the maximum surtax rate
