NEW YORK CITY MoaTGAGED.

sThe Real Estate Record and Guide, I"
published in New York, comments on
the real estate mortgages of that city in
this manner:
''There is magazine under the real
estate market which could be exploded
at any time, and which if it should be
exploded, would inevitably spread a
greater rack and ruin broadcast than is
possible by the financial stories winch
only ravage the surface movables.
Under ordinary business conditions I'M
encountered New York City real estate
is an expensive luxury. 1t is cheaper
and more profitable for man to
employ his money in commerce
and manufactures, or in encountered
real estate, because in such times money
is easily obtained on real estate security.
Because this is true it happens that a
large proportion of the real estate Of
New York city is encountered to an
average of 80 percent of its value, and
therein exists the magazine"
This writer computes that about $685.,
100000 Is loaned on real estate in that
city, most of which is subject to call
within thirty days notice. "This sum-"
he says, "is about equal to half of the
whole volume of money composing the
circulating medium of the United States
at this time.
When we consider that this vast
amount of money is liable to be called
for at given signal, it is no wonder the
Record sounds the alarm. A decline in
values of a very small percentage would
SO impair their security that mortgage
holders would simultaneously call for
settlement. This would so demoralize
values that property would sell for less
than the amount of money loaned, and,
if the above statement is correct, it is
not unlikely that Gotham may witness
stampede, such as their papers have de-
scribed in such glowing terms,
in the western cities. The loss
to investors in mortgage securities
on these millions of dollars of city real
estate would far surpass the total of
money loaned in the state of Kansas,
and, let us hope, if the calamity comes,
it may divert attention from the insig-
nificant, but much heralded losses on
western mortgages We deprecate the
fact that money has been lost by the
shrinkage in values from our boom
days, but since the balloons are being
punctured in eastern cities, we will
enjoy the short respite from the ever
growing calumny which they have so
delighted to advertise concerning west
ern securities.

ARMY oEsERTloNs INCREASING.

DiscouraEing Outlook.

Good Men Said to Be Going Because Of the
Disccuraging Outlook.
Army assertions are on the jump
again. The great reforms in this di.
rection are but ephemeral. While they
lasted the public had monthly bulle-
tins showing the remarkable improve
mentin the morale of the army through
the medium of desertion statistics.
These bulletins ceased some months
ago. In fact, the public has heard
little about assertions since the pro-
mitigation, with q great blare Of
trumpets, last July of the annual bull
letin showing that Proctor's reform
measures had reduced the number of
army assertions to 5.64 per cent. of the
total enlisted strength of the army, or
nearly per cent. within year. The
absence of monthly bulletins since is
accounted for by the annual returns,
just completed, for the fiscal year
ended June 80. This shows a decided
increase in desertion. Furthermore,
the increase has grown steadily since
the monthly reports ceased. For the
month ending June 80 205 assertions
number recorded for the corresponding
month of 1892. The percentage for the
year is nearly OF e and . half greater
than that for the fiscal year ended June
so, 1892. There has been a marked in
crease each month since the enactment
OF legislation in the last army appro-
priation act prohibiting re-enlistment
of privates after ten years service.
This fact is regarded as very significant
by the army authorities They con-
slider that it tells the whole story Of
the evils wrought by that act, and that
no better argument can be advanced
for its repeal.
It is plain that the men who entered
the army expecting to make it their
home have become discouraged By the
act which takes from them all chance
of the retired list in their old days, or
the soldiers home and increase of pay
for length of service. With these dis
couragements before them they have
taken the quickest way possible to get
out of .he army-they have deserted,
and it is the opinion OF the army au-
thorities that they viii continue to do
SO until several alleged beneficial
measures have been repealed. As a
general thing the army officer is no.
much disturbed by assertions Many
of them go on the theory that the army
is well rid of man who has not char
acter enough to refrain from commit
ting the crime Of desertion. But the
rapid increase recently is causing the
officials some alarm. for they realize
that they are now losing many OF their
good men. who would not be prompted
TO take such course but for the dis
couraging outlook before them Wash
