These, he Indicated, would be for lower taxes on h'oine consumption of gas and electricity, and for a tax on wort and malt. Me also told Harrison he would point out specific flaws In the bouse -tax' bill and suggest corrections.

Mr. Whitney vigorously denied that short sales had anything to do with the recent drop In securities values, asserting that widespread liquidation and unsettling developments develop-ments rather than bear raids were responsible for the drop.
