GOULD'S ASSESSMENT.
Action of the County Assessors Up
held bv State Board

Trenton, Sept. 24-The state board of
taxation today dismissed the complaint
of the Somerset county board of freehold
ers against the Ocean county assessments.
Major Carl Lentz made a minority report,
arguing that George Gould's personal
property should have been assessed at ST.
500 600 instead of 500 900.
Assessor Robbins explained that he had
made the assessment from the best in
formation obtainable, not being able to
see Mr. Gould personally, because of the
latter's absence from Lakewood during the
taxing season.

Dun's Report.

Duu , AGpuAL
r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review Of
trade says:
Europe will have to consider possible
American needs for money much more
anxiOusly in the future. Doubtless
there has been for many years a feeling
that the new continent could be put off
with promises. But the control of this
country over money markets in the old
world is coming to be that of a master.
Our banks lend over there heavily when
it is the most convenient market for
them but they draw on Europe when
ever they want money and no longer
have occasion to limit their drafts.
Reports from different cities disclose
a wonderful activity at the chief CEN
ters of western trade the dispatches
from Chicago. st. Paul and st. Louis
being especially significant. To eastern
dealers it may be hard to realize that
such extraordinary activity exists at
the west, although their own trade is
excellent. Even in eastern markets it
is commonly said that no larger trade
has ever been known unless IN 1872, but
the western cities are running things
much after their own taste this year,
having fewer advances than ever be-
fore in heavy bank balances and while
the exchanges for the week fall below
those of last year to per cent, they
are 131 per cent larger than in the
same week in 1892.
The iron and steel trade expands with
a rapidity which throws into the shade
all expectations, with a steel famine in
Germany and Great Britain in the
market for ten thousand tons plates,
and the American works crowded for
months ahead. New orders at Chicago
cover 80, 900 tons tin plate bars besides
1000 tons sold at Philadelphia. Rails
are in such demand that the makers
are to meet with expectation of advance
ing prices, some sales having been made
from Chicago below agreed quotations
for delivery at the far west Plates
are strong everywhere, but, on account
of car construction, especially strong at
Chicago, and the demand for bars on
the same account is heavy with one or
der at Chicago for 1, 900 and several 9TH
ers for 500 cars EACH Prices have
slightly advanced for plates, bars and
for wire nails, which are in much bet
ter demand than heretofore.
Coke production increases, the output
at COnnellsville for the week having
been 14O,658 tons, against 1877, III tons
for the previous week, and tone is some
what stronger, rejecting an advance at
London, while copper is quiet and lead
comparatively inactive at four cents.
Tin plates are selling at S2.8215 for full
weight bessemer. The copper produc-
ton in August was 10 sos tons domes-
tic, against 5000 foreign, and the lead
production as officially reported has
been 156,113 tons for the half year,
against 2S9, 59S tons for the full year
1897.
The textile industries are not sharing
the general improvement to a full ex-
tent, in part because the heavy decline
in cotton, with large stocks of goods
accommodating, makes the mills disposed

Monday the Northern Boom COM
pany, that has charge Of the logs at

logs over the dam at Brainerd. Be-
fore this there were very few logs in
the river between Brainerd and Belle

from Brainerd to within about ten
miles OF Little Falls, and this spring
q large force of men has been driving
these logs further down, till they are
now near the sorting works, and
many OF them are being turned
through the works and over the dam
here. The Pine Tree company is
securing some logs daily from this
drive, and before they are all started
the logs will begin coming In from
Brainerd. There seems no doubt
but the Little Falls mill is assured
Of good supply for some time In
the future. The old logs just above
the city nre moving very slowly. and
nearly go men are now employed on
the drive and sorting works. 1t ia
probable that q drive will soon be
started from Bratnerd.
