Attack

London, Sept. 25, The City is seriously perturb- ed at the continued weakness of Wall Street, which, in the opinion of broking circles.. is due partly to fears regarding the reforms in- stituted by Mr. W. O. Douglas, new Chaliman of the Securities Ex- change Commission," and partly to the statement by Secretary of Treasury Henry Morgenthau that he proposed discussing the possi- bility of a reciprocal agreement with Britain for taxing income on foreign investments.

The opinion is generally held in London that such an agreement is not likely to be reached, but fears lest the United States may raise the dividend tax on foreign in- vestments from 10 to 22 or 25 per cent are causing some British sell- ing on Wall Street..

GOVERNMENT INTERFERENCE

There is no doubt that Wall Street is the victim of a big bear attack, which, it is rumoured, has emanated from Amsterdam, but the opinion Is spreading that though selling may come via Ams- terdam. it originated in New York, beurs, there realising that the market is vulnerable owing to its narrowness, which business men opine is the result of Government interference.

One of the few cheerful sides is the report that some British in- vestment trust and others usually in the know, have been acquiring small lines in American 'stocks-on the decline.---
