MORTGAGE FORECLOSURES.
SIore Statistics Given Out by the Minnesota
Bureau of Labor.

Bureau of Labor.
ST. PAUL, March 13.-The state bu-
reau of labor has finished its investiga-
ton of the mortgage Indebtedness and
mortgage foreclosures in Minnesota. In
addition to the conclusions already given
to the public it reports that the mort
gage debt on farms used as homes in
Minnesota Jan. l, 1890, was $37, 7O9,574
Mortgages upon other farms approxi-
mated $l,000,O00, making a total farm
mortgage debt of about $50, ,OO0,000
This debt had increased in 10 years
about three or four million dollars, but
the farmers meantime had added to
their resources $3,S26,69O in farming
implements and machinery, $26, ,S2O,S6s
in livestock and $l46, ,S20,S62 in land
values. The farm debt had greatly de-
creased in the southern part of the
state and increased in the newer coun.
ties.
City Property Foreclosures.
The foreclosures in the state upon city
property have greatly increased since
1880. Thus the foreclosures upon this
class Of property in the years 1880 and
1881 were 691 in number, involving
$500, 154 in amounts and covered 1,846
lots sold. The corresponding foreclo-
ures Of 1892 and 1893 were GIGS, in
volving $14, ,695, 1884 and covered l7,426
lots sold. This increase in the value of
city lots sold by foreclosure to 1876
times the proportion IA years before
stands in marked contrast with the in
crease of foreclosures upon acre prop
erty. Those foreclosures were in 1880
and 1881, 2,345 in number, involving
81, ,9l8 and covering 269,523 acres.
In 1892 and 1893 they were 2,029, in
volving $3,179, S56 and covering 303,37O
acres. Here is a decrease in foreclos-
ures on acre property Of 1876 per cent
as contrasted with the increase of 1927
per cent on city lots.
Many Were Speculative.
But many Of the acre foreclosures
were on speculative and business prop
erty. In fact over half of these fore
closures in 1892 and 1895 were of this
nature.
Mr.. Powers summarizes the conclu-
sions embodied in his report, drawn
from the facts as above shown that the
foreclosures on farm and acre property
in the agricultural counties Of the state
in 1892 and 1898 We're relatively 40 and
so per cent smaller in number, and in
the acres and amounts involved than in
1894 and 1895, 10 years before.
''The facts gathered by the bureau Of
labor indicate that the farm mortgage
debt has, since 1858, gradually become a
smaller and less crushing burden for
the average farmer to bear. Crop fail
ure, by the introduction of diversified
farming, has ceased to be as great fac
tor for evil as it was from 1876 to 1881.
Variation in wheat prices as disturb
ing factor is becoming of less and less
Importance.
1.-The extension Of the practice Of i'm
proved methods Of agriculture into the
new parts Of the commonwealth is a
subject of supreme Importance. Any
agency that will aid in fostering and
developing such diversified farming az
is suited to the north and west of the
state will therefore become great fac.
tor in assisting in further reducing the
relative amount of mortgage toreclos'
ures in Minnesota

LlOyds Bank Matters.

In the transaction in which the ~
tereet OF the Lloyds bank in the lots on
Fifth avenue was bought by S. +
Kitchell Saturday, the purchaser paid
the bank 500 in addition TO 500 at
IL per cent interest for one year, the
total amounting to sl,1l92O for which
the receiver assigned the certificate of
purchase held by the bank. This was
done on consultation with creditors, and
on account of the uncertainty of parti-
ton, held to Oe good trade. Az men,
toned IN The Alert yesterday Mr..
Kitchell 10 desirous OF getting full title
to other property in which the bank
creditors are interested.
Another item OF interest to depositors
was learned to day. d. NICK. Lloyd OF
Pittsburg, has evidently decided TO fight
the suit brought against him by the
Lloyds bank, and has tiled an answer in
which he says he sold his interest in the
bank and surrendered the notes on
which suit has been brought, prior to
the bringing of the snit. This means no
doubt, an extended litigation. The
banks attorneys we're hopeful that their
..ase was Of such strength as to secure a
settlement without further recourse to
the courts.
The comptroller Of the currency has Of
late been declaring per cent dividends
in number of banks, and 1t may be that
such action will shortly be taken with
this bank. There are at present about
$4,000 to the credit Of the bank in
Washington. The dividend NAV not. on
the other hand be declared until further
disposition ia made Of real estate on
which the bank has clam.

Through the efforts of Rev MT Barker and subscriptions of friends baby organ was recently purchased of MT Bolze of New Haven. The object in getting the organ was to have an instrument that would be helpful and lend an added in- terest to the meetings that are held from time to time in the outlying districts on Sunday afternoon and at the same time be in such shape as to be easily carried. The organ purchased seems to exactly fill the bill for when all closed up, it puts itself into neat looking box which can be slipped into the wagon and carried at will. The instrument was used for the first time at the meeting held in Palestine district and proved all that it was hoped 1t would in leading and making the ser vice of song of more interest. This lit tie traveller will visit a number of the districts before the summer is ended, in company with Rev Mir Barker and his as- sistants in this good work.

William Leigh, of the firm of Leigh &5 Sons, was in Quincy, Mass, last week, and placed large order for stone in the rough, which they manufacture into monuments. They placed in one of the New Haven cemeteries not long ago, 8 monument valued at $500, and an order for fine monument has been received since from another New Haven party, who saw this stone, and wanted to place his order with the party who executed it. Leigh & Sons have been very busy right along. They have recently placed a number of monuments in Woodbury. Their work is superior.
