The New York herald., 1875-09-26

IL will be that while the valuation OF real estate
has increased this year by 81 O00 compared
with the previous year the rate of taxation has been
advanced from 81 80 to So 94 on tho hundred This
increase is accounted for by the fact that personal
estate has largely fallen off since last year. Persons
who had heavy amounts in taxable securities such as
bonds, stocks, &C. have withdrawn them and placed
them in non-taxable securities Hence the rate has
been increased we'll the valuation of estate
Tho inability of many holders to their taxes on
unproducve property Is shown in the fact that while
the sales at the Exchange show a falling OF
in pricos of fifty per cent, the valuation by
the city has been increased instead of decreased and
the rate Of taxation increased well The decrease in
personal property since 1874 has BEEN s59 ISL OPT
which is not sufficient to justify increased municipal
valuation and ratio. This fact has excited much com
ment in real estate circles, and has had tendency to
prevent persons investing in unimproved property lest
noxt year they may be called upon to pay much heav-
Ter rate OF taxation ut an increased valuation.
SUBURBAN PROPERTY.
Real estate Staten Island and in the towns in New
Jersey suffers from the stagnaton we'll this CITY,
and Westchcser property to even greater extent In
some instances. Long Island lots which have been
greatly inflated, cannot find any buyers The only sale
of tho fall that brought anything like its old value was
made by Jere Johnson Co. on Thursday. They sold
forty lots of quarter each Cornwall the Hud-
son. for average price Of 5000 per lot We hear of no
other sales Of this kind Of property
