THE PREMIUM ON DOLLARS.

The subject of foreign exchange, like the tariff. is such an intricate one it is not surprising that the average person usually gives it up as hopeless. says the Boston Post. Just at this time the foreign ex- changes are in such chaotic condi- rion that even the experts are con- fused and in doubt about how and when normal may be restored.
 But there are some interesting and easily understood features of the present situation. For example. most people are familiar with the fact that in ordinary times before the war the English pound sterling was worth about s4.S5 2-3 in Ameri- can dollars. The pound sterling is now quoted at about s4.15.
 That means that in 1913 an Am erican tourist going to London could take s1.o00 and exchange them for roughly 206 pounds sterling. Today for the same sl,0O0 he would re- ceive about 241 pounds sterling He would, therefore, have that much more English money to spend than he would have had six years ago for the given amount of American mon ey. Of course, in the case of an Englishman coming here the condi- tions would be just reversed, He would have to pay 241 pounds ster- ling to obtain s1,000 in American money, thus limiting his buying pow CT in this country to that extent
 What is true in the case of the tourists is obviously true of pur- chases and sales made from either side of the water. An American merchant buying goods from Eng land pays the prevailing English price in terms of pounds sterling, and he simply makes up the price by converting dollars into pounds at the ratio prescribed by the ex- isting market quotations for sterling exchange. An English merchant buying goods from here pays the American price in terms of dollars, converting his pounds sterling into the required number of dollars as usual, only furnishing more of them to make up a given sum because of the discount on the exchange value.
 The American has the advantage on either side of the transaction be- cause his dollars are worth more when measures against pounds ster- ling than they used to be before the war.

1t was furtner ina
Eureka county be given special con-
~sideration, as the average values as
returned by the assessor Of this
county appear to be very much high
err than the remaining counties.
The committees report was ordered
printed for the CONVENIENCE and use
of the members of the board of
equalization and the balance of the
day was devoted to the consideration
of the report, committee work, and
the hearing of statements by Vernon
Metcalf, secretary of the Nevada
Livestock Association, and Jay H.
Clemmons. vice-president of the
Union Land and Cattle Company.
Yesterdays session of the board of
equalization at Carson/City was oc-
cupied mainly in the consideration of
the report submitted by the special
committee the previous day. Several
assessors analysed the report and
showed how its application would
work to the disadvantage of their re-
spective counties. 1t is expected that
today's session will be devoted largely
to hearing the statements and testi-
mony Of a large number of Douglas
county land owners who are expected
to appear in an effort to head off the
proposed very large increase in their
assessed valuation of their real
estate, says the Carson City News.
During the day the board adopted
the recommendations of the committee
on banks, which in its report Of the
twenty-ninth of August, proposed an
increase Of 1901, 900 over the previous
assessed valuation of the banking
properties Of the state. The only
change made from the recommended
tons of the committee on banks was
the fixing Of the valuation of the Wa
shoe County Bank at $685., 900. instead
of $607. 500, the figure proposed by the
committee. The adoption Of the in
creases recommended brings the as
sessed valuation of the states thirty
three banking institutions up to a
total of $s.46s. 1893.
