MORTGAGES ON FARMS.
Census Superintendent Porter Answers
Some Inquiries.

Census Superintendent Porter Answers
Some Inquiries.
Many Inquiries are made from the West
about the census figures on farm mortgages.
The statistics are not available yet but
some points of interest may be given. SUI
perintendent Porter says: "The worst real
estate records are in the South, where it is
generally the custom of public officers to
record conveyances in manuscript without
any headings to Indicate their character.
In New England and the Middle States the
in the South, but the large number of in
cumbrances to be distracted has called
for a correspondingly large expenditure
of money. In the West the records have
been we'll kept, but throughout that
region a difficulty of great proportions was
encountered. 1t is there the custom, upon
the borrowing of money, to give second
The most difficult fact of all to ascertain has
been the rate of interest, and in many States
it has been impossible to obtain this infor-
nation from the records. To eyade usury
laws, perhaps to conceal the true rate from
the borrower, and to give the loaning agent
q commission out of the rate of interest,
contracts are SO worded and contrived that
they do not reveal the true rate; indeed, in
many counties in the South mortgages state
that the loans that they secure bear no in
terest at all, although as matter of fact
the rate of interest that is actually paid is
from 10 to % per cent?

The New York millionaire Banker Is No

? August Belmont, the noted New York
fnancier and politician, is dead He passed
away quietly and without pain. Tie caught
a cold at the recent horse show which rap
idly developed into pneumonia. In the
death of Mr. Belmont New York lost one of
its best citizens and the financial center of
the nation suffered the loss of most val
ued adviser He was celebrated as a
mOney-getter, as a conscientious bust
ness man, a wise and careful student,
an ardent politician, and the friend and
patron of the turf, art, science and
music, and was distinguished as
a philanthropist by the practical benefits Of
his extensive charities. Starting in medium
circumstances, in half century he accu-
mulated fortune variously estimated at
from $50, OO0 600 to $50, 600, 900, most of which
represents the profits of the great banking
business OF August Belmont & Co. of which
he was the head and leading spirit His
financial operations were those of the con-
seryative investor and merchant and he
stood foremost among the ranks of honora-
bic financ'ers, never taking advantage of
the slightest questionable circumstance
which might result in injury to others.

THINK HE SHOULD RETIRE.
English People Say the Irish Leader Is
Politically Dead.

Politically Dead.
Public opinion in England is hourly grow
ing more and more adverse to Parnell, his
retirement from the leadership of the Irish
party being called for by Gladstonian as
well as Unionist papers. Parnell himself is
disposed to stand fast, but he does not ap-
pear to see the decision does not rest with
him. He cannot fight against the ridi-
cule and opprobrium of the long course
of deception practiced in the O'Shea
household. "Mr. Fox" flying down the
fire-escape, protesting his innocence, Of
fers too many marks for the shafts of
the enemy. The Conservatives are not at
all anxious for him to retire, believing he
would be far less dangerous in his present
damaged condition than a leader like Dill
lon. Nobody in London attempts to take
up the cry of the Chicago priest. that O'Shea
was bribed by the British Government to
bring suit. That involves the bribery of
Parnell to allow the judgment to go against
him by default. 1t is not true that Parnell
told any of his friends the real facts of the
case. He led them to believe he
had a complete answer to the charge.
If he attempts to go on as if nothing had
happened, his own party will be terribly in
jured. leading Gladstonian remarked:
"Parnell must go or we are smashed The
whole affair could be used with crushing
effect against us at q general election.
Gladstone will not go on with such an ally.n
These views are shared in by all the fore
most men in the Gladstonian party, though
they wish to keep silence on the subject as
long as possible.

MORE MONEY FOR SHOES.
Manufacturers Agree to Advance the
Prices of Footwear.

Manufacturers Agree to Advance the
Prices of Footwear.
The members of the National Shoe Manu-
facturers' Association met in Boston to con-
slider the business situation in their indus
try. The questions of advances in the
prices of goods as a result of the higher
cost of leather and the guaranteeing of
goods were discussed. The increase was
decided necessary and the usual guarantee
is to be withdrawn. William B. Rice, of
Rice & Hutchings, offered resolutions to the
effect that whereas the capacity for
manufacturing boots and shoes in New En-
gland is greater than the demand. and that
the facilities for producing an increase in
the supply are greater than the facilities for
disposing of the stock therefore the pros
perity of the business demands that some-
thing should be done in the way of increas-
ing the markets; and that to this end
reciprocity with neighboring foreign coun-
tries would be for the benefit of the boot
and shoe trade. A committee was ap-
pointed to secure the reduction of the duty
on patent leather to it's former rate and to
secure thorough organization of the boot
and shoe trade.

Dcnounces Mr. Parnen.

From Tipperary, Ireland, comes the news
that Canon Hagerty, a well-known priest,
who has for a long time been dissatisfied
with the local management of the league,
has. uttered in public language strongly de-
nouncing the conducJ of Mr.. Parneil in the
O'shea case and advising his flock to aban-
don the movement while Mr.. Parnell is
connected with it. A dispatch from Rome
says that the evidence of the O'Shea trial
has been brought to the attention of the
Pope by the churchmen near the Vatican
who are opposed to the Irish party. 1t is
not thought probable that any action will
be taken by the Holy See, as Mr.. Parnell,
being Protestant is outside the jurisdic-
ton of the church.

FROM AN ENGLISH STANDPOINT.
What Mr.. Gladstone Has to Say About
the American Tariff.

w nat Mrs OIaUSCOn0 mas TO say ABOUT
the American Tariff.
The addresses delivered by Mr.. Gladstone
during his recent tour in Scotland have
been printed in pamphlet form as a liberal
campaign document. The place of honor is
given to his address at Dundee, in which he
dealt almost exclusively with the American
tariff question and to much more elabo-
rate extent than was given in the cable dis
patches. In one portion of this address Mr..
Gladstone admitted that the Mckinley bill
was a formidable affair, so formidable in
fact that he would recommend the institu-
ton of chairs in the American universities
for the erection of the study of the
tariff into one of the new sciences.
While it would be a policy on the part
OF the English people to exaggerate their
share in the operation of the tariff, yet he
thought it undesirable that England should
lay too much stress on her concern in the
measure. No doubt the immediate effect
of the act would be to restrict English trade
with America, but the standard of prices
would eventually be raised in that country,
and this meant diminished power of ex-
portation and less ability to cope with Eng

REVIEW OF TRADE.
What r. q. Dun & Co. Have TO Say of the
Financial Situation.


r. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review Of trade
says:
The marvel is that the business world has
been able to stand with SO little disturbance
thus far such shock and strain as the last
two weeks have brought. With the assets
of the largest commercial banking house in
Great Britain turned over to the Bank of
England, with several stock failures in New
York and one at Philadelphia, and some
savings banks by ignorant depositors in a
panic the legitimate business of the country
has hardly been affected at all as yet.
Stringency has checked some buying, difficult
ty of making foreign exchange threatens to
retard the movement of cotton, and a more
conservative temper is seen in trading,
but everything thus far indicates a sound
er condition of legitimate business than
many supposed. The collapse of many
great speculations has brought heavy losses,
but the public has not been taking much
part in such operations. Of the great CEN
tiers Chicago fares the best, feeling Eastern
troubles little. The movement of wheat
and corn is slightly less than for the same
week last year; cured meats, lard butter,
and cheese larger, and oats nearly double,
but in dressed beef and hides there is
heavy decline. The dry goods trade equals
last year, and the trade in clothing and
shoes is ending profitable season
