THREE PER CENT. TAX REBATE.
This 10 the Last Day to Take Advantage
Of 1t.

Of 1t.
This is the last day that tax payers can take
advantage of the 3 per cent. disco:Int allowed
by the law to those who pay their taxes on or
before January /. The law on thisspoint is as
follows:
Sec. 81. There shall be an allowance of rebate
to all payers OF taxes who shall pGs' the same
within the year for which they are assessed. as
follows: Three per GENT II paiG Ga or before
the lst day of January next ensuing; but if not
paid on or before the lst day OF March they shall
then become delinquent and pens5ty of 10 per
centum shall thereupon be added, G'id from the
said LIST day OF March said unpaiE taxes and
penalty shall bear an interest OF ~ per centum
per annum until paid.
AS the LIST day Of January comes on Sunday
today will close the period for tire per cent.
discount Although the law saws ION or before
January /" county Offices cannot De ex pected 10
keep open on January 1 when ii coznes on Sun
day. In fact the intention of the: lawmakers
doubtless was that the period for allowing tie
rebate should be "before JanuarF l." and not
ION or before" that date. New Yesr's day is a
legal holiday in this state and the treasurer's
office, in common with oil other public Offices,
would have right 10 close on that gay any way.
For these reasons County Treasurer Byron
Phelps has given notice that today .sll be the
last opportunity for taxpayers to ,aks advantage
OF this rebate.
This will be very busy day in thu treasure1's
-
of calling to the last day and it is expected that
many of them will bring in their Eists today.
Where the taxpayer has an accurate5list of his
property 1t Is the work of but few minutes to
come to a settlement with the treasurer, but
where the taxpayer is in doubt abouS what prop
erty he owns or desires to pay upon = is a very
tedious and often an impossible tasE to make
out the tax statement, beside, being very unsat-
isfactory, as there is a risk of raytlg on the
wrong property. Taxpayers should remember
that the assessment is against the pr5perty and
not against the individual owning T. 1t does
no good to call on the treasurer with: the state
ment that you want TO pay your taxes. expect
lug him to know what property You ewn. What
he wants is the description OF the property.
The numerical system now in use is giving
much better satisfaction than the ole system of
assessment to individuals, and mistakes are
much less frequent, this year particularly, than
in former years

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 5.--[SpectdL l-Rog-
ers, Brown & Co. say: The market this week
shows still further Improvements over that
of last week. Several large contracts have
been placed for delivery to the large pipe
works and rolling mills along the Delaware.
The interior of the State seems also to show
signs of good fall trade. At such points as
Lebanon we might mention a verv decided
ing done in finished material. This is prob
ably owing TO the stoppage of the large iron
and steel works in Pittsburg and vicinity.
Steel slabs and billets are in short supply
for early delivery.

There were no big wells brought in in
the Mcdonald field yesterday, and the
production of that territory according to
the estimates of careful men dropped from

The wells on the western part of the field

not over quart of oil had been found.
Every other well on the western horizon
is going to the bottom as fast as possible.
They are big wells on the start, but they de-
cline rapidly, and no one is sure of q pro-
ducer on the western belt holding out for
any length of time. They found a nice
sand, but little oil that was available.

NOT STRONG AT CINCINNATI.


CINCINNATI, Aug. 5-[SpecidL. l-Rogers,
Brown & Co., say: The signs of the past week
are: Better demand for mill grades of pig
iron, larser inquiries for charcoal iron,
and little better feeling in some quarters
as to the result of largely increased sales.
The improvements in the demand for mill
iron is in part due to the increase of work
thrown onto the Western mills in conse-
Quence of the labor troubles at Pittsburg.
Aside from this, however, Western rolling
mills are having an unusually large trade
from agricultural and car works In char
coal iron the principal transactions were
with Eastern malleable works and Western
car works.
In the rank and file of the trade the buy
ing tends from hand TO mouth, but it is
freer than it has been for some time. Sales
men find no difficulty in securing small
sales in abundance. The general temper of
the market is OF greater interest, with more
freedom in taking hold OF small lots, and a
growing belief that there is a real bottom to
the mig iron market, ana at last il has been
reached. SILL it must be admitted that the
market is not strong, and that concessions
are made when giltedgeG buyers enter the
field.
