RUMOR s.-There were various
rumors afl"at on the street yesterday
regarding the sudden tumble In JUS
ment of $3.50 share had been levied
or was expected, and another was that
all the mills but the Pacific would
soon be shut down. The most potent
denial of the latter rumor is the fact
Of the vast piles of wood in store at
the various mills for winter use. In
our San Francisco dispatches received
last night may be found the most au-
thentic explanation of the break in
the stock.

Properly and Taxation Among
Our Ohio NcIghbOra.

The footings Of the Auditor Of Ohio,
just made public, indicate a falling of in
the valuation Of property in the State for
taxation in 1877, as compared with the
previous year, OF over twenty-five and a
half millions OF dollars. AS Ashtabula
county will not vary much from last year
the result in this State will be substan-
italy as follows Valuation of real and
personal property 81, 574, 94l, 542, against
$780,, 4G9,96C. seyenty-Gye counties
show falling of, and only twelve cOun.
ties a sainin property
The aggregate amount Of taxes levied
for all purposes is nearly million dol.
lars less than last year, or S27, ,743 80
against S2s,52l,256 50. The State tax
this year ia S4,6Gl, 2S5 81, and the local
and municipal taxes s22,975,5l272 The
local taxation is therefore more than Eve
times as much as the taxation for State
purposes. Only four counties, Ashtabula,
Carroll, Knox and vioton, report no
county, municipal or local debt.
The aggregate OF county, city, sub.dis.
trict and other local Indebtedness in the
state'is sS9,l2l,067 81, an increase dur.
ing the year Of SS,O6l,979 90. This debt
is classified as follows: county, S2,9O9,-
ASP 81; township, s2oS, Ss9 IS; school dis.
trlct, slS5,1S7 %; city and village, 1884,
G4s,955 OF.
It is the opinion Of the Auditor Of
State that with economy;in the manage.
meut Of affairs the necessary amount can
be raised for carrying on the, State Gov
eminent without increasing the rate Of
levy, notwithstanding the falling of Of
more than twenty-five millions in the
valuation OF the general duplicate.
