The tables given below, which have been
compiled with great care for the special use
of The Investor department of The Her.
aid. will give very fair idea of the trend
of real estate business during the first six
months of the current year. The trans
fers, as is well understood, do not repre-
sent the actual amount of the considera-
tions, the practice being in many instances
to insert n nominal consideration which
gives no clue to the actual amount that
passes. The table of mortgages is alb
solutely correct and includes trust deeds"
which are mortgages under another name.
The releases of mortgages are also rep
resentative of the amount paid off, with
the exception of cases where partial re-
leases have been made, which seldom re-
cite the amount actually paid, but upon
the final payment of a mortgage the whole
amount falls in to that month, so that,
in the end, nothing escapes enumeration.
This statement of releases, without which
the other figures are not shown in their
full significance, is furnished exclusively
in the columns of The Herald.
For the purpose of facilitating compari-
son the figures for the corresponding
months of 1896 and 1895 are given, the whole
making a table which is worth clipping
for reference.

Yesterdays Transactions on the Board
Of Trade

CHICAGO, July 10.-Wheat got a weak
start, because Liverpool sent lower quota
tions and corn was easier. The weather in
the northwest was favorable for spring
wheat growth which was another element
of weakness to begin trading on. The
opening decline had brought the price
within the range of the put" price. Sep
tember, which closed yesterday worth 65%,
stood at 651a today. 1t rose on buying
against puts to 655sQ65% but the volume
of selling orders at that slight improve
ment was heavier than buyers could take
care of, and the consequence was gradual
decline. Chicago received only five car
loads of wheat and Minneapolis and Du-
luth only 22S, compared with 412 on the
corresponding day of the previus year.
The considerably higher price for cash
wheat at the latter places than No. l
northern was bringing here, was relief
of general comment. Considerable guam
tity of that grade wheat was delivered
here yesterday afternoon on July contracts
and was another cause for heaviness this
forenoon. New York reported, however,
that the sales of wheat for export yester-
day amounted to sixty boat loads. or nearly
800, 900 bushels, and a firmer undertone pre-

Money in Bank

NEW YORK, July 10.-The weekly bank
statement shows the following changes
Reserve, decrease, $23 506 loans, increase
81 ,05S. 600: specie, increase, $500; legal ten
der. increase, s6+2 600: deposits. increase
81. sos 500: circulation, increase, $780, Banks
now hold Sal, S61,37O in excess of the require
ments of the % per cent rule.
The Financier says: Coming after the un-
precedented expansions noted for the week
ending July Sd, the bank statement for the
present week exhibit shows moderate
changes. That there is still demand for
money the increase of s1,0S7,I ,I65 in loans
clearly shows. Comparison of the returns
of the sixty-iive clearing house banks in
dividually reveals the fact that thirty-six
have increased and twenty-nine have de-
creased their loans, the changes, with one
or two exceptions. being unimportant.
But while loans are increasing deposits
for the week have exceeded them IN vol
ume, the gain of the past seven days aggre =
eating $269S,SOO. The banks also hold S642,
600 more in cash than on July Sd. The
effect of these operations has been to
hold the total reserve almost stationary.
The situation. however. is of more prom
ise than indicated by the statement. The
banks having large business throughout
the south and west report a good inquiry
for rediscounts. The money on call in
New York is much more concentrated than
usual and it is said to be a fact that one
of the largest institutions has nearly S20.-
000, 900 cash outstanding in this way. This
is not important except to show that the
market may be sensitive to control, once
the changes in rates begin. Bankers, how
ever, do not anticipate material advances
in money rates for the present as the sup
ply of funds not only in New York. but
elsewhere as well, is far in excess of de-
mand. 1t is worthy of mention, not as hav-
ing bearing on the statement, but as
breaking long decrease, that the circua-
tion of the New York banks shows a small
increase this week of q steady shrinkage
after eight months, during which there has
been a loss of about $7,0O000O in this item
alone
The herald., 1897-07-11

of which is the comparative smallness of
the deficit in comparison with the esti-
mates made regarding it some months
ago.
The deficit amounts in round numbers
to $1S600. 900. which is considerably less
than third of what Secretary Carlisle
estimated in his annual report to congress
last year. The figures for the first eight
months of the year seemed likely to bear
out the Secretary's estimate, for at the end
of February the excess of expenditures
over receipts was over SlS,OO0,OOO. The
months of March and April, however, wit
messed a marked increase in the revenues
owing to receipts from customs which ma
terially cut down the deficiency. In the
month of May there was some recession
from the figures of the two preceding
months, but the receipts for June exceeded
those for March, though falling short of
the remarkable showing for April. The
total receipts for the fiscal year amounted
10 s3i7, 1S4,12S an increase of almost s2l,-
100000 as compared with the preceding fis-
cal year. The expenditures amounted to
$3.50 SOi, ,S36, an increase of nearly $13. .600. 900
as compared with the fiscal year 1866.
A brief analysis of the figures will be of
interest. OF the receipts customs duties
furnished in round numbers SIG, 800, 900, or
more than half the total and $50 1000, 900
more than was supplied by internal reve-
nue.. The customs receipts showed an ex-
cess of nearly SIG, ,000 900 over those for the
preceding fiscal year. while the internal
revenue receipts were slightly under those
for the fiscal year 1866. All the various
items of expenditures showed increases,
with the single exception of those for the
War Department, which showed-a decrease
as compared with those for the preceding
fiscal year. Taking the receipts from Gus
toms duties by quarters it appears that
while they declined from about $50 900, 900
in the first quarter to s31 600.0 900 in the sec
ond. they increased to $4SOOO,OoO in the
third quarter and rose to nearly $6O. 500, 900
in the last three months of the year.

vailed when that became generally known.
The weeks clearances of wheat and flour
from both coasts were equal to 2,502, ,606
bushels, against 2,77s.000 bushels the week
before. Beerbohm estimates on the worlds
shipment this week places the amount at
5.200,00O bushels. An estimate by the Daily
Trade Bulletin that the surplus from this
years crop of wheat could be spared for
export from a yield of $50, 000, 900 bushels,
would only be 15S. 600. 900 bushels, after max
ing allowance for normal reserves at the
end of the season, had a Strengthening
effect for time. In preparation for the
weakness which usually follows the publi-
cation of the government report-one being

carry much over until Monday, and the
price got to its lowest near the end. Sep.

HOW TO FIND OUT.
COLUMBIA, s. G.

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand for twenty-four
hours; sediment settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is positive
evidence of kidney trouble. Too fire.
quent desire to urinate or pain in the
back, is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are ous of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. 1t
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine Or
beer, and oyercomes that unpleasant
necessity Of being compelled to get up
many times duringl the night to
urlnate. The mild and the extraordi-
nary effect of Swamp Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its
wonderful cures Of the most distress
ing cases. II you need medicine you
should have the best. Sold by drug
gists, price fifty cents and one dollar.
You may have sample bottle and
pamphlet both sent free by mail. Men,
tion the ADVERTISER and send your
address to DIR. Kilmer & Co., Bing-
hamton, N. Y. The proprietor of this
paper guarantees the genuineness Of
this offer.

"Old Satan's mad
And l am glad"

I drop you few lines to let you
no that have bin in all kind of
messes but I never struck one like
the campaign meeting at Edge
field. I went down to here good
speaking and failed to here it, but
one good speech was made by M.
G. Laurin. The other speeches
was nothing but bull rafting. J.
don't think any one could here any
thing from their speeches. The
rest was jim-swingers and coat
tail-swinge1s. They put me in
mind of two large spiders one was
large and one was q small one. The
big one went to work and webbed
all round the little one. The little
one jumped out the big ones way
and run all over and give senator
John L. NJ. Irby the dry grins. We
had good men in Office and threw
them out for jim-swingers and
coat-tail-swingers. The idea of
one man saying that he took little
johnnie up and put him him in
office. The idea of cutting of
Edgefeld county and giving it to
Gov. Shepherd a gain they would
histe the white flag or the red flag
one. Some reminded me Of acting
game as known as punching judy.
1 think the farmers movement
have got their eyes open they amt
going to take promise any more.
I think senator Irby drinks too
much good beer and he wont di-
vide with the farmers. / think
what senator M. G. Laurin says,
they lay out up there on the by
ways and hedges and play cards
and play hip-tom-diddle-do. Do
we want such men as them in Office.
Say! Will the good times ever
come again? No never until
The Rudyards cease their Kipling
And the Haggards ride no more.

A Card.

Mr.. EDITOR: Will you please
help US to correct a false rumor
about the Baptist parsonage at
Ropers, S. c., by publishing the
following:
We hear that it is rumored and
circulated over the country that
the titles to the land on which the
parsonage is located are not good.
We say that it is absolutely false
and that there are no grounds for
said rumor.
We expected to have SONG op-
position to this work when we be-
gan it, for no one has ever done
anything that would please every
one. But we did not expect oppo-
sition in such q hidden scheming
manuer. We were prompted by
pure motives when we began the
work, and hope that it may be q
great blessing to the churches
around it. Therefore we hope no
one will hesitate to help US on ac-
caunt of said rumor.
P. B. LANHAM,
D. E. LANHAM,
J. D. ZIMMERMAN,
Trustees for Parsonage.
