Minnesota'S Population o5f .O22.

For partial confirmation of his figures
representing the immigration into the state,
Secretary Young has been looking into the
question of increase OF population generally.
At the same ratio OF increase that existed from
1875 to 1850. the population of Minnesota
would row be SOS 945. Adding 10 $50. 77S
the population as shown by the census in
1880, the number OF immigrants claimed to
have arrived since, together with the eStimat-
ed births in the meantime. and it gives e92-
9.S. DeGucting from This the estimated
deaths and removals from the state, and we
have 9sI .022 as the present population. This
requires ratio of increase for the two years
of - per cent. that for the preceding five
years having been 81 per cent. The ratio of
annual increase for the past two aud half
years is thus claimed 10 be 8 per cent, while
that of the former five years was a little more
than per cent. This certainly appears free
from exaggeratiou to those who have taken
anv note of the recent influx OF strangers.

Value Of New York Bank Stock;

FROM New York Letter.
One of the be1 tests of the financial
condition of the metropolis is the value
OF bank shares, some Of which may be
given as follows: The North river has
advanced from par TO lii, and the Park
which was also down to par, IS now 15S.
The phoenix has risen from 80 to 10l.
The bank Of New York which is the old
est in the city, stands AS. The import
ers' and Traders is quoted at 155, the
City is 2Gl, while the Chemical has
reached the dizzy height of 1,052. The
latter presents the most remarkable ex-
pansion in the records of finance. Its
capital is only So coo, 600, being divided
into 5000 shares of 500 each. At the
present quotations this capital is worth
1886, 900. This, repeat, is unequaled
in the history Of banking.
The Chemical is the great note buyer
of the metropolis. Having surplus of
$4,000 900 and an average of deposits OF
nearly double that amount, it is ready 10

$250,000 may be finished in fifteen

Chemical has been buying paper,
and its former president John @. Jones)
could call off the gilt-cdged names as
readily as he could repeat the alphabet.
He knew all the first-ciass men in the
city, and they were always under a
close surveillance which insured the
bank against loss. As soon as any mans
paper was offered too freely suspicion
was at once aroused, and purchases
we're stopped. The question always be-
fore him was how much paper the gilt
edged houses were issuing, and this could
easily be learned by the offerings made
by the brokers. Hence the Chemical
made but few losses, though its purchases
were estimated at $4,000, 600 year.
Out of town banks frequently invest
their funds in the same manner, the
Farmers and Mechanics bank of Albany,

King Oscars Troubles.

The fact that King Oscar of Sweden
and Norway had his life insured for six
hundred thousand crowns, or about SI6o.-
600, before making his recent tour among
his Norwegian subjects. excited much
comment by its grim significance. Later
accounts show that the disaffection of
the Norwegian is slowly growing more
and more serious. 1t is actively headed
by no less important a man than Bjorn-
stcrnc Biornson. who makes no secret Of
his determination to overthrow, if posi-
BILE, the Bernadotte dynasty, and abol-
ish the union between Sweden and Nor
way. The ostensible origin of the trou-
bic was the Norwegian Storthing's ques-
tioning of Oscars right to exercise an
absolute veto power. but the real per-
sonnl animus OF the matter was in the
kings alleged insult to Bjornson and the
latters prompt reply in the form of
challenge. For this the famous writer
was sentenced to Il years imprisonment;
but he escaped to Germany, and has
since been allowed to return home and
resume his campaign against the monar

when these are looked back upon as
