give an absolute deed. In effect, this practice
cut off the statutory right OF reuempJlon, anu
the consequence was that the national court
was chiefly resorted to In foreclosure pToceea-
ings. The MORTGAGE, obtaining an aosoluGe
decree of sale, was enabled to BIO ID the prop
erty at almost any sum he might choose TO
name, and in many instances get decree over
against his debtor for remainder q the ds ,t
which the sale of the property mortgaged did
not satisfy; whereas, in the State courts, the
statutory right of redemption practically
compelled the mortgagee to bid at least the
f1lI amount of the indebtedness.
The Supreme Court has now reversed one
of these DEGREES by the National Circuit Court,
SO far as the mode Of sale was concerned.
The ground Of the reversal must have been
that the right Of redemption under the state
law should be treated as not cut OIL by the
sale and that in this respect the practice in
the State courts should be followed. The
statutory redemption right has been held to
be part of the mortgage contract, agreed to
by both parties when the mortgage was
given. and therefore as binding as any other
covenant in the instrument. This undoubt-
edly is the view which the national Supreme
Court has embodied In the present decision
The importance of the decision, both to mort
gage debtors and mortgage creditors, is there
fore manifest.

The London Miller of June 10, In its weekly
review of the corn and flour trade, remarks
ut is thought likely in the future that the
Atlantic shippers will have idle time on their
hands, as they will get but very few orders to
execute. All the heavy shipments Of
the past two months were the COM
pletion of contracts for April-May load
ing, made in February and March, Of
course the American shipper may forward on
his own account to the British market, but
this action appears to be done only very ex-
ceptionally, 50 is no. now expected. Conse-
quently the recurring weekly influence OF
large American shipments Is now considered
past unless, again, English buyers choose to
speculate and make fresh offers.

Some reports on labor and wages in Ger
MANY recently received at the State Depart
ment from our Consul at Barmen show that
low as wages in this country are, they are
nearly double what are paid for the same
kind of work in that country. The rate paid
for farm labor varies from 81 cents day to
56 cents day-the very lowest rate, is cents
q day, prevailing in some parts Of Silesia, at
Barmen, Crefeld and Dusseldorf; mechan-
les, such as carpenters, plumbers, machln-
lists and wagonsmiths, earn 81 to rs cents
A day; saddlers and shoemakers Al to 81
cents: bakers and brewers, with board and
lodging. 81 AZ to 50 ii a week; railroad
laborers Sc to SO cents day; silk weavers
50 Is to So IS a week; factory women 81 ID and
children 81 a week. These prices are far be-
low the average. In good times wages are so
per cent higher, and these low rates are
sign of the depression that reigns through
the trades. Another fact to be stated is that
the cost of living is higher than it was few
wears ago. A man with his wife and two
children can live in that country in poor sort
of way for $275 year, while for afamilyo OF six
persons the cost is 81 week, and to earn this it
is required that all the members OF the family
shall work. All industries are depressed, ex-
eept the silk and butter manufactures, and
factories generally are run at a loss.

The Chicago Tribune publishes two deci-
sions, bearing upon the right of foreign cor
porations to loan money and enforce their Sc
curities in the State Of Illinois They both
reach substantially the conclusion that cor
porations not organized under the laws OF that
State may make loans and foreclose mort
cages. BY the Illinois Supreme CouCt it is
held that the law Of 1875, authorizing such
corporations to loan money, is retroactive,
and yalidates contracts entered into previous
to the enactment of that law. In the opinion
Of Justice Harlan, of the United States Su-
ureme Court, even broader ground is taken,
the court holding that it was not in 1867, the
date Of the mortgagein question, and has not
since been against the public policy of this
state for insurance companies created by the
laws OF other States,to invest their assets in
mortgages upon real estate in illinois, The
opinion of Justice Harlan is of especial conse-
auence as foreshadowing the result in case an
appeal were takento the United States su'
preme Court.
