THE STATE DEBT uNApJusrRp

The Legislature having reached no re.
sultin the settlement Of the State debt
passed q resolution to-day to adjourn
sine die at noon tomorrow.
The Senate bill to compromise the
State debt at so cents with graded inter.
est Of four, Eve and six per cent, was de.
feated in the House after the amendment
to make the interest four per cent for
fifteen years and six per cent for fifteen
years, the high tax men voting against It,
because II was not in compliance with the
proposition OF the bondholders, which
was fifty cents, six per cent interest.

FRIEND called on US yesterday who
hsd been up in Washington county, Pa,
looking at farm that was for sale. Aa
illustrating the depreciation Of farming
lands he informed us that early last
spring S55 per acre, half cash and bal.
auce in one and two years, had been re-
fused for the farm, and that the sale had
been postponed until September in the
hope Of obtaining a better price. Sep
tember came and the best offer obtain
able was SSS, which was declined.
Subsequently the offer was reduced to
$50 which was in like manner declined.
Now the assignee is ready to except $50
but the bidder is not willing TO pay that
much. II is not improbable that the
farm will be finally sold for S27 or S2s
per acre-say one-half Of what was offer
ed for itlast March.
Our informant, who is familiar with
the farms and farming OF Ohio county,
says that lands which at the time Of the
panic could have been sold for sos to SO
per acre, will not bring now more than
about $40 at forced sale. They are moi
worth as much, he says, as they were 25
years ago, while taxes are decidedly
higher. He thinks that as agricultural
products have been selling, on an aver
age, for years past, that present prices for
lands are high enough, and that they are
as likely to rule lower as higher in the
immediate future. He says that people
who would ordinarily buy farms, and
who few years ago thought nothing oI
assuming a deferred payment, are nov
so demOralized in regard to the future Of
prices that they shrink from incurring q
debt of two or three thousand dollars
This feeling among would.be land buyer
knocks the bottom out Of prices, and
makes farms very difficult Of sale except
at great sacrifices.
