COUNTY CLERKS.
A Large Number Meet at Topeka, Kan.
New LEGISLATION Suggested.

New Legislation Suggested.
Topeka. Kan, Nov. 23.-The county
clerks of Kansas have just finished their
annual session in this city. Over seventy
five counties were represented. Roland
Lakin, of Lyon County, presided, and d..
N. Burdge, of Shawnee County, acted as
secretary of the meeting.
The necessity of reform in the present
system of assessment and taxation was
the first important subject taken up. A
committee, of which County Clerk Wal
ton, of Marion, was chairman, was finally
appointed to draw up plan for a uniform
system which might be presented to the
Legislature. After a long consultation
this committee recommended that the laws
be amended as follows: The board of
assessors meet and agree upon a basis
of valuation; then the county clerk,
who acts as clerk of the board of as
zation; this Safe board then compile these
lists and agree upon the valuation and
certify back to the county clerk, with
tabulated statement of the basis of valua-
ton, this in turn to be certified by the
clerk to the board of assessors, who go to
work upon the basis fixed by the State.
ne cO1lnllUeo also TcCOulU1enu JndI prop
erty should be assessed every year instead
of once in two years.
The committee on roads and highways
presented report favoring the passage of
a law providing that each county surveyor
make an index of all the roads In his county,
with plat of the road. giving the name and
giving all orders for laying out, vacating,
etc.
Late yesterday afternoon the committee
on assessments and taxation presented its
amended reports. It recommended to the
Legislature that the present system of
township assessment be done away with
and that a county assessor be appointed,
who shall appoint deputies in
each township. The convention ac-
cepted the report and voted in
favor of leaving the appointment of the
county assessor to the board Of county
1t was also recommended
that he be required to give sufficient bonds
to assess property at its actual value. A
committee was appointed to present the
matter to the next Legislature and urge
the passage of bill remedying the pres
ent system of assessment and taxation.
The session closed with a banquet at the
Copeland last night.

TRADE REPORT.
According to Dun Business Continues Good
In the Country.

According to Dun Business Continues Good
in the Country.
NEW YORK, Nov. A.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
weekly review of trade says: Business has
made fair progress during the past week.
and at almost all points the prospect for
further improvements is considered good.
The engagements Of gold for export
amount to y, $50, 900 for the week. The inn
mediate cause is not the state of mer-
chandise trade. At present foreigners do
not seem to regard American railways
with the confidence formerly shown, in
part because of their damaging COMPETE
tion and in part because the effects of the
Interstate act are thought serious. The
stock market has declined an average Of
81 per share.
The exports of breadstuffs from Atlantic
ports have been only 130, ,372 bushels of
wheat in three weeks, against 1,9S9, S2S
bushels last year, and 40s, ,497 barrels of
-four, against 675. .69s last year, with an in
crease of $50, 900 bushels of corn.
Removal of duties in Portugal caused
small shipments of wheat thither, but
from other markets the current price still
excludes Atlantic wheat, though the de-
cline here has been Az cents for the week
with sales of 36. 000. 90 bushels.
Corn and oats have scarcely changed.
Pork and hogs are a shade lower, with
lard stronger. No change appears in cot
ton.
Coffee has advanced half cent with
sales of 49,, 900 bags, and oil is practically
unchanged with refined shade lower.
Business is satisfactory or improving at
all Northwestern points reporting. and
money is in good supply. unless Cleve-
land, where some stringency appears, be
reckoned al exception. Collections at all
points seem fairly satisfactory. At Mem
phis trade does not improve and dealers
are more anxious about collections than
about sales. The great activity and adj
vance Of about two cents in woolens en-
courages hope that dry goods will i'm
prove and some Improvement is already
seen in hosiery and in some light weight
goods. Cottons are generally steady with
some discounting on wide sheetings; print
cloths are unchanged. The boot and shoe
trade improves with leather irregular.
