LONDON, Nov 23.-Among English
stocks which have suffered as regards
price quotations during the past few
months must be included the shares
of all the big London banks. These
stocks have always been considered
investments of the most conservative
nature, and the quotations for the i'm
portant banks were frequently four or
five times their par value, showing a
net return to the investor of between
four and five per cent. on basis of
present stock exchange prices, how
ever, the average yield of stocks Of
the ten biggest English banks is 6.75
per cent.
The par value of English bank
stocks varies widely. The stock in
the biggest bank has a paid-up par
value of only $3.50 per share; this
stock is now quoted at $3.50 a share,
at which price 1t yields the investor
six per cent. Other good bank stocks
have a paid-up par value of from 500
to SIS and are quoted at SAL to $3.50,
To some extent the fall In prices OF
these stocks is due prehaps to ap.

1t is changing from a Spanish city to
one like Berlin or Paris, and the old
landmarks are being swallowed up in
the new constructions. The town is
one of the oldest of the new world. 1t
was begun 200 years before there was
a house on the site of our city Of Bos-
ton, and forty-three years after Co
lumbus discovered America. The first
buildings were mud huts matched with
straw. Then a brick kiln was made
and later tiles and bricks were import
ed from Spain. The first city was of
Spanish architecture, and that style
prevailed for more than 300 years. The
most of the buildings were of one
story. They were built close to the
sidewalk and around patios and courts.
They had iron barred windows, facing
the streets. and behind the bars the
senoritas sat and watched their lovers
playing the bear act" or. as it is
sometimes called. "eating iron" The
girls could admire their suitors and
cast Sleeps eyes at them, but the bars
were always between.

flee is three years. The council Is
elected by such taxpayers as pay 500
or more per annum, and the only quail

councilmen, each elected for a term OF
four years. They receive no pay and
the position is one of honor alone. The
council makes all the tax laws, and 1t
passes upon all appropriations for city
expenses.
The chief revenue of Buenos Aires
comes from taxes and licenses These
are more numerous and more heavy

now at the time of our war tax.
Everything has to be stamped. and bus

a license. that of the banks running

profession pays tax. Architects and
surveyors have licenses which cost $50

photographers SIS and upward. Pawn
brokers pay $4,000 and upward, and all
wholesale and retail business houses
are assessed from SIS to $500. There
are also internal revenue taxes, import
and export taxes, and, In fact, taxes
upon everything and for everything
