U. S. Prosperity Shown hv Returns j on Income Taxes kttimule of 50 Million Gain in Taxes Over .1921 Is Based on Incomplete Reports. By GEORGE r. At TIBER, « HOliliiKtnii Correspondent The Omaha Bee. Washington, March Ifi.— (Special.)— Arrival of prosperity in the United States was demonstrated by incom plete income tax return's received by the Treasury department today. They were far in excess of the estimates made originally by the actuaries of the department. On the basis of tile comparison of the incomplete returns so far received, with those in 1922, the American peo ple will pay to tlit* treasury about $40,000,000 or $90,0(10,000 more than they paid In the year preceding and may run above that figure. The treasury's estimate for the to tal incomo tax for the year just passed was $400,000,000, an Increase of $7,000,000 over the returns of 1921 when the total was approximately $393,000,000. Officials refused to make any esti mates of the total, pointing out that the returns bear out then theory previously expressed, that tile greater prevalence of employment and the re turn of prosperity had resulted in greatly increased earning power ev erywhere. Based oil Five Districts. Five districts reported from New York were described as typical of tho increased payments made on income. Compared with the returns of 1922, the returns from these districts show «d increases all the way from $2,800, 000 to $20,000,000. The estimated increase in New York for 1923 over 1922 is $25,322,204; Pennsylvania, I7.404.7S1; New Jer sey. $1,450,529. The increases re ported from New York were main tained in practically all of the indus trial districts of the United States. This was especially true of reports from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Massachu setts and New Jersey. Treasury officials were not down cast because tlu-ir estimates have failed. In view of the Importance attached to the gains shown by the early returns in their bearing on busi ness and industrial conditions, they would be willing to have the original estimate utterly demolished on the red side of tho ledger. Estimates ( unservaliie. While tiie preliminary estimates were const rvative, the idea that the returns would go beyond those of 1922 were based on reports of busi ness conditions that have been as sembled by various methods of the government. Increased postal receipts. Increases In the postoffice savings banks, un precedented freight offerings, re ports made by federal banks and data obtained by the labor bureau will tend to show that America Is getting on its feet. Experts have been amazed over the multiplying evidence of prosperitv in view of the fact that exports have been falling off and a self contained country lias not been considered pos sible by economic authorities. Tt is pointed out, however, that while exports have beerf diminishing, they arc not negligible and tend to support business by giving even n. -slight outlet for surpluses. Charles P.

Receipts at Omaha were very light j owing to the difficulty in moving j trains through the snow and totaled I only 26 cars, against 145 cars last [ year. Total shipments were 74 cars, as compared with 92 cars last year. The light offerings of grain on the Omaha market were in good demand at substantial advances, wheat Bell ing 1 to 2 cents higher. Corn was 1 cent up. Oats were % to *i cents higher. Rye and barley were quoted strong and nominally unchanged. An improved demand from Europe was in evidence this morning with Liverpool wheat cables coming sur prisingly strong and this strength was reflected in a higher range all around In the Chicago futures mar ket, wheat being the leader and corn, oats and rye following. The sellers of yesterday on the precipitation were the buyers today. Houses with foreign connection were also con spicuous on the buying side. The movement of corn from the country will be light, owing to had roads, and this was the strengthening influence in corn. WHEAT. N'o, 1 hard winter; 1 rar, $1.13.

Chicago, March 16.—Heavy buying of May wheat by seaboard houses against sales of 3,000,000 bushels to Hurope, together with prominent short covering led to a brisk bulge in prices today, which carried the mar ket to the highest levels in weeks. Wheat closed l%c to 2c higher, corn was 1 to l1 a advanced, oats were Me to %c higher, rye ruled l%c higher and barley closed un changed. Throughout the session tho market received liberal selling orders through commission houses, but the advance was not chocked and best levels were reached at the bell. Prominent local shorts were said to have covered their lines and went long. Corn Market Active. Trade In corn was more active, with outside support on tho upgrade. Local hulls and < onimisslon houses were on the buying side throughout, while covering by shorts was also noted. Country of ferings of corn were reported light. Oats moved up with other grains. Com mission houses were generally on the buy ing side, but the trade In this grain did not* broaden out as In the others. Seaboard houses were best buyers of rye. while tho selling was scattered and light. Prices advanced easily with wheat. Provisions were strong. Lard was 7 57> 10c higher and ribs were unchanged to - Vic higher. Pit Notes. Advices to the trade were to tho ef fect that all the consigned wheat has been absorbed, and the fact that dls i tressed wheat In tho east was In demand | proved significant to many. Sales of the i socallcd distressed grain were made at 3c ndvanco in price, according to private messages, which equalled 7C over the Winnipeg May, c. 1. f. Buffalo. Tho lifting of embargoes by several ; prominent roads indicated to the trade | that the congestion is fast being re lieved A wire from an eastern authority I stated that, wheat that has been lying at Antwerp for four months was ah- i sorbed. Flour trade in this country was j reported fairly active. According to—accepted reports tho pre cipitation the past week over the areas of the winter whpnt bolt improved the crop materially. However, tho drop In temperature today gave vent to tho four that considerable damage might result from smothering and freezing Owing to the extent of the drouth through the winter months tho trade continues to an tlclpate a pretty fair crop scars this ; season. Movement of wheat to primary mar kets kept up fairly well. Indications were for around 10.00Q.0fl0 bushels wheat for the world shipments this week Ar gentina cleared 3.4*17.000 bushels. North America. 4.358,000 bushels, and Australia. 1,736,000 bushels Argentine C kbits it that the movement of wheat from the Interior to ports In still on a large scale, and intimated that clearances are ex pected to bo well maintained.

New York, March 16.—In t lie ab sence of fresh Incentives the stock market gave the appearance of being tired today. The marked difference of opinion among big operators as to the immediate trend found reflection in a smaller turnover and heaviness, closing prices of the most active shares being from a fraction to a full point net lower. Several new high prices were made in specialties but the tendency seemed downward, buyers seeming unwilling to make purchases except at con cessions in prices. The fact that quite a number of pools have suc ceeded in distributing shares has re sulted in a thin market in many stocks. Quite a short interest is be lieved to have been created in tho general list by reason of the frequent attempts of largo professionals to catch the top of the present move ment. Commodity prices continued to show firmness. Oils Center of DIscusmob. Oil shares were the center of dissuasion but shared In the general easing foff of quotations. Sinclair Oil showed more ac tivity and strength than for weeks and was one of the few Issues to close with a net gain. A group of ths biggest oper ators. among whom are to be found the “uptown crowd," Is understood to have been accumulating the shares In antici pation of favorable developments, chief of which will be an extra dividend estimated at $2 a share. Cosd«# & Co. showed early strength but sold off around noon on a denial by an unidentified official of the Standard Oil of Indiana that the deal be. tween the latter and the Cosden had been “consummated." Liberal offerings of Consolidated Gas appeared In the afternoon, depressing the quotation nearly a point. Sellng contin ued right up to the close, the final quo tation being the lowest. A sensational break of more than 1* points in Piggly-Wiggly stock attracted a good ofefring of the shares, which were heavy up to the close of business, the final quotation being the lowest The cotton market was reactionary but the faith of the Mg operators on the long side remslns unshaken. There has been some speculative selling of long cotton but the statistical position of the etaple re mains unchanged. The bond market continued quiet with unimportant changes.

United States government bonds were steady. Foreign obligations also were relatively firm. Most of the Euro pean Issues advanced fractionally. Tractions, which heretofore have held up fairly well, suffered today. Interbor ough Rapid Transit 6s and Third Avenue refunding 4s each off a point, being the outstanding weak spots. Railroad liens continued in supply with few takers, but losses were held to fractions. There was some speculative interest In the sugar company liens, Punta Alegre sugar 7s advancing 1 point, and South Porto Rican Sugars f ractlonally. In dustrials, tor the most part, however, gave ground, Colorado Industrial 5s recerlng 1 points and Tobacco Products 7s, 1 point. Portland Railway, Light & Power 5s gained a point. Total sales (par value) were $10,< 13,000. The Investment market continues to ab sorb new issues with apparent case.
