One night not long ago there was excitement down. around the Grand hotel on the main boulevard of Karl Johans gade. Some new stock had been issued on the instalment basis, where by a purchaser paid about one third down and agreed to pay the other two- thirds as the money was needed by the companies concerned. The stock, one-t third paid for, began to rise in value as general freight rates ad vanced, but as the companies began calling for additional payments, many owners found themselves compelled to sell at least d part of their holdings in order to pay obligations on the re- mainder. The result was conflict be- tween rising prices on the one hand and forced sales on the other Ali sorts of people were buying and sell ing, from newsboys up; crowds col lectirg on the streets and in the lob bies of the hotels in order to close their transactions. However. the val ues of this kind of paper after the war is over is problematica'. for with vessels selling at about five times their intrinsic values based on 1914 prices, it may Ae inferred that a general de- cline will occur However, many con- servative people here say that freight rates will continue to be high for q long time after the war is ended and that present rates will not decline to any great extent.

As The issue ia ovcrsubscribed it is not difficult for the holder of this letter to sell his right to 50 shares at any where from 102 to 105 per share. He does this. So with the par value Of the shares at 800 crowns each he pockets a neat profit of anywhere from 300 tG 1,2jo crowns. This was about four ;nonths ago Subscribers now must enclose at least ten per cent of the face vaine of the number of shares requested. otherwise the letter or ap- plcauon will not be. considered.
 It is reported that millionaire ship owners in Bergen, Norway's big ship ping center, have increased since the war began from six or seven to over forty and that Norway now has the largest merchant marine Of any coun- try in the world. Before the war England was her only rival in this respect
 The hard times talk from the people who either have not gotten in on the shipping deals or perhaps got in on the wrong side of the profit column for notwithstanding the upward tend ency in the price of stocks, there have been enough fluctuations tC cause many people to lose heavily

 HAS SOME GOOD
 AND BAD I |NES

CHRlSTIANIA. June 24.-Christi- ania is having a combination of good and bad times. Shipbuilding and ma rine freights cause the boom, while the difficulty Of securing supplies from abroad and the failure of ordinary wages to if the prevailing high prices cause the hard times.
 People who. have shares in ships and the various shipbuilding concerns are having everything their own way Many persons who have held stock which peid nothing at all or else very nominal dividends of from 3 to , per cent a year for many years. now have. in some cases, received cash dividends of from 25 to 30 per cent.

are high and may be higher, and with
 Norway at least partially mobilized, some of the productive earning power of the country is, for the time being, eliminated
 It should be remembered that be- fore the war Norway was one of the cheap countries in which to live. It was not so many years ago that a crown, worth about 2 cents then, was looked upon and used just about the way that Americans look at a dollar Todays crown is worth about 90 cents and as far as Christiana is concerned. will buy just about what

Americans can get for that amount. 4 young clerk or young engineering
 graduate looked forward to being
 promoted to 100 crowns a month just about the way American boys look forward to $100 a month. A man who got 6,000 crowns per annum or 800 crowns d month was considered well off The trouble \now is that the young man in Christiana is still getting not very much more than his hundred crowns and the older man or employe is getting only q little more than his 5000 per year. It can be seen that when these amounts car

 Prices have increased about as fol- lows: Carfare is the same, as the company gets it's power from noun tain streams which run all the time, war or no war.

A NEW ASSESSMENT NOT
LIKELY.

Real estate owners generally through
out Maryland have learned with deep
interest that the Circuit Court for Fred
erick County has handed down an opin-
- In the suit Of certain citizens of the
eounty>ShQ sought to restrain the State
Tax Commission from nfskmEs n assess
ment OF real estate In the countissS
While denying the contentious that the
assessment could not be made because
. revaluation Of personal property was
not ordered made at the same time, and
that Baltimore City was relieved from
n reyaluation. the Court In aweeping
decision unanimously finds that the Act
of 1915, under which the order was
passed, Is Unconstitutional and hence
null and void.
The foundation for the Courts opinion
Is that only last Fall constitutional
amendment was passed empowering the
Legislature to divide property into Ger.
tain classes for purposes Of taxation,
and that the Legislature exceeded lie
power when II sought to delegate this
duty TO the Commission. The Court In
this connection says: at is the plain
purpose Of the amendment that land
and the improvements thereon shall be
separately assessed. and that improve.
ments and personal property shall be
classified according to uniform rules
which the Legislature shall prescribe.
The mandate Of the people to that ef-
feet rs conveyed by the Constitutional
Amendment which they adopted 10 clear
and unqualified. II creates q duty
which Il makes expressly Legislative in
.ita character and which 10 therefore not
capable of being delegated.
While the decision just handed down
IL binding In its effect only within the
Jurisdiction Of the Court In question, Il
will In all probability receive universal
respect throughout the state until the
case 10 reviewed by cur Court Of APP
pesls. This win be all the more cheer
fully done because of the general ten
dency In approximately half the coun-
ties Of the state not to 20 on and make
the assessment while any doubts as to
its validity exist and because Of the
respect due to q Circuit Court which 10
composed Of such noted jurirts as Chief
Judge Urner, former Chief Judge Glenn |
II. Worthington and Judge Edward @. |
Peter. Il is safe toeonelude that there
win be no general assessment Of real
estate msds throughout Maryland this |
