During the twelve months ending about Nav
last there was great activity In the location of
land warrants; and vet this table shows that Of
10, 1860 acres issued under the act of 1855 only
l5,1IO.2U acres have been located, leaving still
floating in the market IL, 04O, 44O acres If we
add to this amount the number Of acres unlo-
Gated under other acts, We lind grand total of
l3,6O9 ,SiS acres still outstanding.
From an examination at the General Land or
nee II appears that there Is comparatively small
amount OF good land subject to private entry
We hear of no lands that will likely be brouy at
into market in any of the new Territories the
policy OF the Government being to favor pre-
emPtors La Kansas and Nebraska nearly every
quarter section that Is desirable has been taken
up by actIIal settlers, and hence il is not likely
any lands in these Territories will be offered for
sale at private entry. We can1ot perceive any,
thing in the future, therefore to pton,ise soon :,
material advance in the price of warrants, espe-
ciaIly az the issue, to say nothing Of the large
surplus outstanding, continues in excess of the
demand IL Congress make them receivable on
railroad grants, which Is confidently believed, ii
would have an immediate tendency to increase
the demand and price.
