LONDON CHANGE.

LONDON, September 15.-Transactions
on the stock exchange this week again
were on a small scale. The settlement in
terfered with business, and the American
demand for gold also restrained would be
purchasers during the first few days of the
week: the gold Withdrawals to America
depressed consols and the first classers
considerably, but when the Bank Of Eng
lands rate of discount was advanced
and rumors were circulated that France
would supply gold to America. prices pick
ed up rapidly. and although this rumor
has since been denied 1t appears that the
Egyptian demand for gold probably will
be satisfied from Paris, and British Sc
curities will benefit somewhat thereby.
Consols recovered and closed a fraction
higher for the week.
Trading in the foreign section Of the
market was uninteresting, except that
American holders continued to sell Japa-
nese ~ per cents, but as a result of good
buying in other quarters these securities
recovered their early losses. Cuban bonds
fiuctuated moderately. according to the re-
ports OF the revolution. They closed about
the same. Americans appeared less bril-
liant than OF late. Secretary Shaw's &C.
ton in not assisting the money market
caused a depression early In the week and
Europeans. as well as Americans induced
caution here. The large gold shipments
assisted Wall street to hoist prices again.
but the rallies were only temporary, The
quotations on balance were 81 dearer n
81 lower. Reading. which recently has been
given much attention, closed four higher.
Kaff1rs failed to benefit from the enormous
Transvaal gold production, and continued
heavy Copper shares received good at
tention, and advanced in price.
After being easy In the early part of the
week money became scarce, owing to the
joint stock banks calling In supplies. Dis
counts kept firm, and the general idea pre-
walls that New York will require more
gold. and that further advance in the
bank rate Is possible. 1t Is considered that
large installment OF the Pennsylvania
loan. payable in London soon. may lead
to further gold Withdrawals This adds to
the uncertainty regarding the immediate
course Of the money market

HEARD ON CHANGE

The feeling OF hopefulness In regard to
the future OF the market continues to char
acterize the talk OF the brokers. In the way
Of a revival Of business or return OF the
customary activity there has not been up to
this time very much of an encouraging ma
ture, in spite Of the fact that the middle Of
the first fall month has been reached.
OF course there are reasons why this
should be 80. but at the same time a little
more briskness in the daily call, which
comes when orders are prevalent, would be
most decidedly welcome. There are reasons
assigned for the lack of interest ia the local
market. The leading one, Of course Is the
condition in the general market, where high
rates have prevailed and money has been
what Is called tight. Some fndica tions are
noted that a change for the better is not I'M
likely and in that event It may be expected
that something in the way of business will
be going on in the local exchange before
great while.
There Is another cause for the lack of in
terest or attention In the market. and that
is the absence from the city of number OF
those who might. II they wished. contribute
something to the general stirring up of
things. The 1st Of October Is fixed upon as
sort of a line beyond which II may be said
that the summer Is over on the stock ex-
change and the fall season begins.
1t seems reasonable that both Of these
circumstances has good deal to do with
the existing state of dullness. At least It Is
quite apparent that the intrinsic value Of
the securities have not fallen away and
that there Is no loss Of confidence in them.
Otherwise there would have been plenty Of
stock on the market for sale and the daily
quotations would have shown ii not violent
fluctuations, at least a steady downward
tendency.
The firmness Of the local market and the
steadiness with which the prices have held
in spite of the period of comparative mac
tivity, now extending over three months. is
q striking evidence Of the character Of the
period now closing. 1t also seems, to justify
the prediction that Is heard Of a better bust
ness in the near future.
All that is now awaited is the resumption
of buying. and it Is argued that that cannot
be much longer deferred. whether one rea-
sons from the point OF view of general or
Of local conditions.

Monmouth County Tax Revision.

The Monmouth County Board for
the Equalization of Taxes, created by
an act of the Legislature last winter,
completed it's revision of the tax as
SCISSORS duplicates on Monday. The
totBl assessed valuation for the coun-
ty is $40, $40, $50, an increase of $1S,.
248,090 over last years assessment.
The heavy increase, the board points
out, is only apparent, the advance
being made on properties that have
not heretofore been assessed at any
where near their true value. In AS
bury Park $1,000, 500 of $4,000, 600
increase is due to the annexation of a
portion of Neptune Township. Bel
mars assessed valuation this year is
So, 902, $50, as against $l,533 pa last
year. Long Branch shows an in
crease of less than S2,O00,O00 The
large increase in valuations in the
shore districts will materially reduce
the county tax rate to the benefit of
the small property owners.
The assessors of the county will
meet with the tax board on Thursday
at which time their duplicates will be
handed back to them. Tax bills may
now soon be expected.
The board has fixed the county tax
rate at $3.50 40. Last year it was
1927. The rate for state and county
schools last year was S1.70. This year
it is $1.36.
The assessments and comparisons
are as follows:

New Jersey Schools Show Growth.

Reports ofthe opening of the school
year from various towns and cities in
New Jersey indicate that the increase
in attendance throughout the state
generally is abont per cent This
figure will probably be betfered later
in the season. The percentage shows
a healthy increase in population and
general prosperity
More Impressive. perhaps, are the
figures for high schools in different
cities. In these the percentage of in
crease in attendance is double that in
the elementary schools. This indie
ates more than proportionate growth
of higher education in New Jersey
and the fact that more children con-
tinue to acquire an education after
the age OF fourteen indicates the
growing prosperity of the state.
The increase in school attendance
has been particularly apparent in
North Jersey, in those communities
to which the increase in Transports
ton facilities has drawn large nun
bers of New Workers to take up per-
manent residence. Suburban schools
are booming. Up to a few years ago
New Workers had prejudice against
moving into Jersey, because they
feared that the school facilities would
not not be adequate and that in incle-
ment weather their children would
not be able to get to school at ALL
The growth of the trolley lines in
North Jersey however, has brought
the schoolhouses close to the homes.
Half time is almost unknown in the
Jersey schools. Though most Of the
cities of the state report this year
that the schools are crowded to their
capacity, few have had to resort to
putting pupils on half time to any ex-
tent. This is strong COZ trast to
New York City, where over $4,000
pupils, about, IA per cent of the total
enrolment, are on half time.

A Colonial House Burned.

Navesink. which was DESTROYED by
fire Sunday afternoon, the 10Th inst.
was built $50 years ago. 1t was own
ed by Joseph Lufburrow aad occupi-
ed by two colored families named
Newman and Carter. One of the
children il the house started to fill
the tank of a kerosene oil stove. Of
which the wick was lighted. The oil
got on fire and reached the tank.
which exploded. The blazing oil was
scattered over tie floor and the house
was soon on fire. The inmates had
time to save only few of the con-
tents of the house. The hook and
ladder company of Navesink, and the
chemical engine company of Brevent
Park, responded to the alarm The
house of Mrs. Catherine Davis and
Frank Davis were in danger from fly
ing sparks and Mr. Davis house was
on fire two or three times.
The Bovine house bad been repair
ed at various times. but the interior
retained its original features. 1t was
built by John Bovine, one of the early
Speakers of the New Jersey House of
Assembly. Bovine and Jonathan
Holmes of Middletown, and Judah
Allen and John Hance, of Shrewsbury,
were the representatives in the As
sembly from Monmouth County. The
house was then located on what was
known as Portland Heights, the name
given to all the tract east of the old
Highlands. The house was moved
few years ago to the site of the fire.
The old residents of Navesink said
that the first New Jersey Assembly
met in the Bovine house, but county
records say this was County Assem-
bly,. According to the county records
the first Monmouth Assembly. which
consisted of the patentees of the coun-
ty and their associates, was held at
Little Silver Point in December, 1866,
and January. 1867 The following
March another meeting of the Coun-
ty Assembly was held in the Bovine
house at Portland Heights, which was
the building destroyed.
