The Stock Market.

New York, Dec. 2S.-Contrary to the course of the market for some weeks. prices showed a pronounced decline on the days trading and this was con- trary to the tendency abroad, London having bought some 25,00O shares on balance. The volume of business was large. although not up to yesterdays s record breaking figures. The greater part of the business to-day was during
 the morning rise while the afternoon s
 decline was also accompanied by burst of animation. There was no change in
 the favorable tenor of the news except
 that the Vanderbilt reports were not considered up to bullish expectation. Regular dividends were declared in
 Vanderbilt stocks and American To-
 bacco. Traffic reports were generally gratifying. Burlingtons surplus Tor
 November increased nearly $23S,0 900;
 New Jersey Central for November in
 creased over $61 1C00, while the net in crease of Northern Pacific for five
 months was over $393 000. While stocks
 were strong at the opening, New York
 prices were not up to those of London
 where Americans were buoyant. Inter-
 national Paper, General Electric and
 some other industrials made new high
 records. The grangers and coalers were
 strong. The advance in the latter
 stocks, a great part of which was re-
 tained~ throughout, was perhaps ex-
 plained by a subsequent announcement

Prices rallied somewhat from the lowest, but sharp furry in call money, which for time advanced to per cent, although subsequently, it eased off to about yesterdays quota tions, gave the bears an opportunity to effect marked declines in prices, but the securities sold were readily absorbed. Sugar was weak, owing to the trade sit uation in the early dealings when the rest of the list was strong and at the close was an exception to the general weakness. Pittsburg Cincinnati Chi- cago and St. Louis was strong on the idea that the Pennsylvania system was to be unified in a similar manner to that in progress in the Vanderbils, An incident of the speculation at the outset was the apparent subsistence of interest in Federal Steel.

CITY VERSUS COMPRESS.
CAN PERSONAL PROPERTY RE AS.
SESSED?
Dawson Compress and Storage Com.
pany Says 1t Cannot. Judge
Sheffield to Pass Upon
the Question.
the Question.

Has the city the right to assess person
al property is an issue that has been rails
ed, and it will be settled by the courts.
The case has g rown out of the assess
ment of the plant of the Dawson Com
press and Storage Co. at S25, 900 by the
city assessors.
The compress company claims that the
assessment is excessive, and rather than
pay taxes on that amount has asked the
courts to intercede.
The company gave in it's property to
the state and county at SIS 900. which
in view of the fact that it is tenant at
will on the land of the Central railroad
and that compress machinery is one
third cheaper now than it was when the
Dawson plant was bought, they claim is
lair valuation. There was rendered the
city $l65 in paymentOf taxes on the above
| amount, but because the cost of the plant
was twice that amount and the COMPANY
| is paying handsome dividend upon its
| capital stock the money was refused by
the city authorities, they thinking S25.-
OOO low valuation of the property, and
Marshal Seay was Instructed to lew
upon the plant.
70 avoid paying taxes upon what it
considers an excessive assessment the
company has raised the question that
under the city charter the council has
only the right to assess realty, and that
the valuation of personal property
Is not within it's power, and has asked
Judge Sheffield for an Injunction re-
straining the city from collecting taxes
upon the amount of the city's assess
inert.
The petition will be heard at George
town on March 18th. Colonel j. G. Parks
and Judge j. q. Query will represent
the compress and Colonel M. c. Edwards
the city.
The issue that has been raised is an
important one, and the outcome will be
awaited with much interest.
