FINANCES and MARKETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHJ

NEW YORK, oct. 13.-Specialtie5 resumed the first place in speculative importance, rails and other higH grade shares falling behind mainly as the result, it is said, of eXten- sive foreign selling. In fact the markets took a professional tone as a decided variance with the recent days when the strength of seaboard stocks offered hope of a revival of interest from the investment sources. A majority of the better known railways went one or two points lower, Reading again show ing the greatest heaviness. That stock, together with Pacifics, Fries, and Grangers were offered for Euro pean account to the extent of sixty thousand shares. War shares were foremost in the rise of specialties. Bethlehem Steel rose sixteen points to a new high record of 465. Stude- baker also broke all previous records with a gain, 19 to 164. General Motors, Baldwin Locomotive and Lackawanna steel as well as miner industrials and allied issues improved two to four points with four points for American Woolen at 54.
 The market derived much of it's impetus from United States Steel. which advanced 1a4 to S4A, it's top quotation since 1910, within eleven points of it's record in 1909. The total shares amounted to 1,245,OO0 shares. Steel contributing 5000. The bond market was strong, with increased activity in copper convert ibles at higher prices.

MORE RELIEF FUNDS
British Committee Has Raised Five
 Millions More to Aid Relaians

LONDON, Oct. 12.-The inaugural ing committee of the city of London, which was appointed to raise funds for the relief of Belgium, by the Lord Mayor, announced that the British committee had raised s5,0OO, 900 with which the American commission pur- chased food for distributing among the Belgians, who still remained in that country.
 Lord Curzon, who was one of the chief speakers, said this money had been exhausted and that it was neces- sary to raise $4,250,0O0 monthly. to feed the people during the winter. He pointed out that Germany was doing nothing for the relief of the inhabitants of that devastated coun- try, and added:

New York's Assessment Roll

The tentative assessment of personal property of the citizens of New York is given in round num- bers at $3,7OOOOOOOO. and tentative assessment real property in the city $S,O00 900. These figures bear out the estimate made weeks ago by Henry P. Davidson. who said that, bearing in mind the relation of the wealth of New York to the rest country, that that city would prob French loan. There would probably have been small objection from of the out-of-town bankers whose participation in the loan seemed rather re- lactant if New York had gobbled up entire issue as she sometimes does with more attractive offerings.
 The shifting values of New York's real estate indicated in the real property figures points lesson for all who interested in which determine fluctuations in business property values. Every growing city, small as Phoenix large New York; sees marked of it's wholesale and retail districts in the and flow of it's traffic and the schedules vice of its electric and steam railways, which affect property values.
 The New York assessors have some ex- tr~ordinary discoveries in this respect few years ago Twenty -third street and adjacent parts of Broadway looked upon gt-edged property Changes in trade have made it possible longer give that to those properties. Only three or four years private houses Thirty-fourth street marketed phenomenal prices. so that upon their great retail shops could be built Now the assessors find climax for high prices reached in that district about year ago. The great gold mine in New York today is upper Fifth avenue. There is one department store which uses it's building exclusively which is assessed at 0O0 and another at s7,3OO.OO0. Property in the older retail districts now listed in many in- stances at lower figures than in 1911 and 1912.

oUTRuRsT OF TRADING
 IN WAR sPEcIALTIEs
Third Consecutive Day With Dealings
 Over 100000 Mark.

New York. Sept. 29.-Another fys- tefical outburst if trading in special ties especially war shares, featured to- days activities on the stock exchange. Dealings in the first hour approached the big total of 45o,00 shares and for the entire session the turnover ag- gregated almost 100000, making the third consecutive session in which transactions passed the 1,500,9 GOO mark.
 Today's rising movement, which lost much ground in the later dealings, gathered fresh momentum from the overnight announcement that the es- sential details of the Anglo French loan had been agreed to by the high contracting parties. Inasmuch as it is generally believed that the loan will be carried to a successful conclusion, manipulation of the specialties was resumed
 From the outset. however, 1t was plainly seen that buying orders were being matched by heavy selling. In fact, stocks were so hberaily supplied as the session progressed that prices gradually fell away. In the final hour offerings assumed larger di- mentions and specialties declined pre- cipitately, some of the larger gains being reduced by one half or two thirds, while others, were altogether 0biiterated.
 For a time there was fair demand for railways and other investment stocks, but these also felt the force the late impact and yielded in com mon with more mercurial issues.

London. Sept. 29, 10 p. m--The all lies great offensive in Artois and the Champagne is still being perse- vered in and, according to French ac- dicted by the German official reports, further progress has been made in both areas.
 French Claim Hill 14o.
 In Artois the French claim to have reached Hill 140, which lies directly east of Vimy and is the eulminating point of the crests named after that town. The importance of the hill lies in the fact that it commands the plains to the east, the network of roads and the railway which runs from Lens southward.
 Desperate Struggle in Champagne.
 So far as Champagne is concerned, the French appear at present to be making their chief effort towards the railway junction north of Massiges, which accounts for the desperate eff forts of the Germans to stem the tide and for the crown princes counter stroke in the Argonne, as this railway connects the German army in the Argonne with its base at Vouziers.
 British Attack German Third Line.
 Perhaps the heaviest fighting since the offensive began is now going on, for the British are attacking the German third line of defense south of La Bassee Canal and the GerFfans have brought up reinfoFcements against both the British and the French and are making every effort to retrieve the lost ground Belgium despatches from Holland say, has been denuded of troops. while German detachmez1ts are even being removed from the eastern front to meet what is now known to be the greatest ef- forts made in the west since the armies took up their present position from Belgium to Switzerland.

$7,5oo 900 SUIT AGAINST
 Ex-RocK ISLAND DIRECTORS
For Restitution of Money Alleged to Have Been Unlawfully Diverted.

New York, Sept. 2s.-Directors of the Rock Island railroad system under the regime of Daniel c. Reid and Will liam H. Moore were defendants in a restitution suit of S7.500.0O0, brought In the supreme court today by Jacob M. Dickinson. receiver, for the Chi cago. Rock Island and Pacific Rail- way company, the operating company of the Rock Island combination.
 It is alleged that as directos, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad company, the holding company for the rail- way company" Messrs. Reid and Moore and their fellow directors un- lawfully diverted "in their own inter est" the sum of $7.,5O0. 900 from the treasury of the railway company into the treasury of the railroad company. This was used. it Is alleged, toward the redemption of a bond issue. part of which was pledged by the railroad company against stock of the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad which the railroad company wanted to sell and did Seh to B. P. Yoakum.
 The fact that the railroad company was at that time financially enibar- rassed is given in the complaint as the reason why the defendants caused the funds to be diverted, Messrs. Reid and Moore and Ogden Mills .'being then largely interested in the bonds of the railroad company and in the stock and securities of the New Jer- sey corporation (the Rock Island com pany) which then owned the capital stock of the railroad company.
