IOWA COLLECTION LAWS
The Homestead Exemption law Of iowa has
for years been the means Of enabling dishonest
debtors to put their entire capital into splendid
residences, and thus defraud their creditors.
Many OF the most intelligent people of the State
are at length beginning to feel that this to-
gether with the various stay redemption laws,
are disgrace to the statute books. Iowa begins
to experience the same effect from these laws,
made in q foolish spirit Of prejudice against
capitalists, that Wisconsin did in her unreason-
ably stringent laws against usury some years
ago, VIZ: That instead OF helping
honest debtors, they simply drive capital
ont Of the State. The Davenport Gdzel!e SAYS
in this connection that the people Of Iowa are
now suffering for want of money which they car
not get, because capitalists cannot collect their
loans when due. Instead of coming to Iowa. tho
money goes to States where such unreasonable
Laws are not in force As result, those who
must meet their engagements are compelled to
eubm1t to enormous ehaves to secure the accom-
mediation they require, while enterprises that
would develop localities and add tothe wealth and
prosperity Of the people, cannot be undertaken
because capital ehuns the State. The Gazette
lnsists that something be done at the first
Legislative opportunity, to remove this obstacle
to the influx Of capital

TIE WHEAT PROSPECT.
a "broker" writes as follows to the Mil
waukee Mems:
have an average crop Of winter wheat. This is d
great error but time alone will change these impress
eiouB.
The large crop Of Minnesota and Town will go but
email way to make up the deficiency in the Atlantic
States, Missouri, &c. Even to-day compare the prices
Of winter wheat at st. Louis with those Of spring
in Milwaukee, and it will be found the difference is
greater than for years past The amount Of wheat In
sight is 5000 900 bushels less than year ago,
and the stock in New York is only 900 at most,
the greatest part Of which il held for shipment.
make this assertion that there ds not much
wheat in this country there year ago, and
in view of the active Rhipplng demand which
we are having and likely to have sincerely believe
will not haya wheat enough to carry until next
harvest.
The experience Of several years has shown that the
population OF Great Britain ia becoming every year
more and moro dependent upon the grain-growers OF
other countries, and that when their crops below
average they certainly this year, there must
come rise in prices unless tho supply is largely In
creased By importation. English merchants look to
America for their supplies more this year than ever
of supply, being very much below IN average. When
it becomes known TINT have surplus for export
then England will realize that she must look elsewhere
for wheat, feed Oh corn The Inter believe they
they can get enough wheat to meet their requirements
is problem difficult to solve.
