Point-U. S. Governments
Quiet and Irregular.
By VICTOR EUBANK.
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK. January 13.-Despite
some profit taking resulting from the
weeks sharp advance, listed bonds
more than held their own In today's
brief market session.
While the trading volume dwindled,
sales totaled $8,245, 900 par value. The
average for so domestic corporate is
sues advanced three-tenths Of . point
to 772. On the week this average
showed q net gain Of "a points. The
weeks sales aggregate was the largest
In several months, amounting to $102,-
ole. 900, compared with $60, ,426,00 last
week.
q. S. Government securities were ex-
tremely quiet and narrowly irregular
The turnover in this group dwindled
to about 100000. On Wednesday
transactions in Governments totaled
some 100000. Losses and gains OF
1-32 to 4-32 were about equally divided.
Traders and investors were a bit
cautious in view Of the expectancy that
the administration was preparing to
tary situation. The feeling was gen.
eral that impounding Of the Federal
Reserve Systems gold holdings by the
Treasury was imminent as q prepara-
tory step In devaluating the dollar ON
cially. Business and trade news con-
tinued highly optimistic, and offerings
Of high-grade corporation issues were
scarce.
Among the more active rails, utili-
ties and industrials, with gains Of frac-
tions to around points, were some
loans Of American Rolling Mill, Amer
lean Telephone, American Waterworks,
Sante Fe, Central Of Georgia, Burling-
ton, Denver & Rio Grande, McKesson,
New Jersey Power, New Orleans Pub
lie Service, Morris & Essex, New York

Foreign obligations were quiet and q
tride mixed. Bonds Of Argentina, Bris-
bane City, Finland, Germany and

TAX
RELIEF SHOWN
Revenue Dept. Gives Com
parison Under Two Rev
enue Programs

RALEIGH, May 2S.-The state
department OF revenue has pre-
pared a tabulation showing tax
rates levied in various cont!es
for 1888 in comparison with
them the rates which would have
to be levied in the counties II
each county had to support its
own schools. This tabulation also
shows the sum of money furnish
ed by the state in each county.
for the operation of schools and
other data which will be OF in
terest to taxpayers.
In the county OF Henderson,
the states is paying for the op-
Grafton of the school term for
the school year 1933-l934 s14O,-
220. The tax value of property
in Henderson county is S2Q,662:-
$50. In order to supply the
equivalent amount by property
tax in that county would require
a rate on the present property
value of 1856. The combina-
ton of the present tax rate with
the amount the county would
levy to support the school sys-
tenn entirely by property tax
would give a total rate of Sl.63:
The table shows that the total
valuation of a real and personal
property in the state for 1888 Is
S2.0S9. 209.1S8. The total amount
paid by the state for operations
OF the schools is s15,967,976. In
order TO raise this amount con-
tributed by the state it would re-
quire a statewide levy on prop
erty of .T643. The total COM
bined countrywide tax levies for
1888 amount to s1S,360.8S5, rep
resenting an average rate of .sS.
The average rate in the state, if
cost of schools was supported by
property tax entirely. would
amount to S1.64 in order to pay
the present cost of county gov
eminent and school costs amount
ing to a total of SS4.32S.S61.
= The foregoing figures, the
revenue department feels. are
significant and illustrate the ex-
tent to which property has been
relieved of taxes and the burden
shifted from counties TO the
state government. This has been
accomplished largely through &C
