was m almost constant decline and the
volume OF business on speculative account
was quite large while that OF export was
much smaller than for the preceding
week. The week shows n decline Of 2t

in options. The decline caused more
active trade, and those who sold short
bought III ut II good profit. The corn mar.
kct WAS more actiye than for several weeks

to admit ol any extended trading There
was very little spot OH the market and
options sold down several cents in view OF
the near coming in of the new crop, which
IS generally understood 10 be fully up to
the average. The range OF prices to day
was about &c below week ago, and the
market closed dull. Oats were sub.
jected to another decline curly in
the week because Of the supply
having been gecatcr than the demand,
bit yesterday II hat was called and the

The Republicans appeal to their party
to elect Beaver and Brosius because the
Democrats, they allege, propose to ger.
rymander South Carolina. The argu-
ment is \ little far-fetched, but the
figures when examined prove that the
South Carolina Democrats arc a great
deal more liberal to their opposition in
the apportionment than the Northern
Republicans. Though the vote Of 1880
in South Carolina was Ill ,2S6 for Han
cock to 1896 for Garfield, the Demo
Gratis now propose to give the Republi.
cans one district out of seven, while in
Michigan the lsl ,597 Democratic voters
haven't single district, and tho 1s5, ,34l
Republicans have nine, and under the
new apportionnent expect to have all
the eleven. New York is doubtful, if
not a Democratic state, and yet The Re-
publicans have it so gerrymandered as
to elect twenty-fOur out Of the thirty
three congressman. In Pennsylvania
in 1880 the Democrats polled 47.G per
cent. of the total vote for Garfield and
Hancock and yet the Republican appor
tionment only enables the Democrats to
elect nine out of twenty seven congress-
men. In illinois and Ohio the same
sort Of gerrymaudering goes On. If the
Northern Republicans really believe
that the gerrymsnder is the vile thing
they esteem it-in South Carolina, o.
course-they should set a better example
of political morals.

N0W NdI duu EApICSS.
The erection OF large number of i'm
memo apartment houses has been found
to be very profitable investment, and
many capitalists of New York are now con-
sidering whether it is not best to make a
similar use of their idle funds. The avidity
with which such buildings arc sought
by tenants Indicates that the supply of
such apartments is not equal to the de-
mand. Some have believed that the in
PRODUCTION Of the system of flats indicates
that New York is becoming like Paris in
taste and morals, but the conclusion rests
upon too slender foundation. The erec-
tiOn of immense apartment houses Of the
first class has been much the same in Lon
don as iu New York, and apartments in
them are sought quito as eagerly there as
here. Life in a first class fiat is not tho
the ideal, but it is vastly better than life
in an interior dwelling house. As the great
majority of city houses arc now built it
is possible for family in moderate cir
cumstanceS to secure q more agreeable
home in an apartment house than in u
building the rent of which would be con.
siderably more than that Of the suite. In
arrangements, ventilation and plumbing
the best apartment houses are nearly
perfect, statement which would not
apply to two in hundred of Ordi-
nary dwellings,. The lamentations over
the substitution of such buildings fox
average city residence are wasted energy.
In a crowded city like New York o. Lon
don, it is impossib', for every family in
good circumstance 70 the exclusive
use OF whole house, and it is fortunate
that the immense and elegant apartment
houses have been provided.
