SUIT FOR AN ACCOUNTING.
An Action Against the Washington
Mortgage Loan Company.


Suit was filed yesterday by George Senge
and his wife, Gladys Senge against the
Washington Mortgage Loan Company,
Fred V. Mckenzie. trustee; Luke C. Stri-
der, justice of the peace, and William H.
Gould. his constable, for an accounting
and TO restrain the defendants from taking
further steps in certain replevin suit.
The suit is. in fact, brought to ask the
court to restrain the defendants from ex-
torting alleged usurious interest from the
complainants by means OF a repleVin ac-
tion.
1t is stated by the complainants that on
April last they borrowed from the Wash
ington Mortgage Loan Company S48 and
gave promissory note for $50 40, payable
in monthly installments of 1896, and se-
cured by chattel trust on piano.
On May S, 1t is stated the first monthly
installment of $685. was paid, but no 9TH
er payments were made until August "a,
when $44 additional was paid This pay
ment, however. was made only when the
defendant, corporation had begun suit for
the replevin OF the piano pledged
Originally, the complainants applied for
a loan of $50, but only received S4S-the
balance of 81, having been retained, it was
claimed. TO pay for the recording of the
chattel trust placed upon the piano. This
trust, il is alleged, has never been recorded.
The complainants ask the court to re-
strain the defendants from further prose-
cutting the replevin suit, placing the chattel
trust upon record and that the latter and
the promissory note for ss3.4O be declared
Cancelled for the reason that already more
than the principal and lawful interest on
the same have been paid.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
wheat, Corn, and Oats Hold About
to Saturdays Prices.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE approach of the
Government report had the usual effect on
the wheat market, the range being 3-Sc.
The last prices were the same as Satur-
day to 1-Sc under. Early there was re-
port that September figures would show
an advance over the August, but later in
the day there was one that the condition
for the whole year would suggest a crop OF
less than five hundred million bushels. No
one had much confidence in either. Liver
pool was weak Western receipts were not
very much under last years figures. All
the statistics were rather bearish. The de-
mand continues comparatively poor. Re
oeipts are steadily increasing.
An advance of lie in the lake rate made
cash corn business difficult. Sales from
here were only 100000 bushels Prices,
however, about held the range barely 14c.
Gables were off a fraction. 1t is generally
taken for granted that the crop is made
and that it is a record one. The trade is
so firmly of this conviction. even Govern
count for much.
continues fair. Receipts are large. The in
cident of late has been the very large ex-
port business.
Trade was rather light with prices off
in sympathy with the hog market and on
less favorable news regarding yellow fever
in the South. Moderate buying by pack
ers and local traders caused reaction and
the close was steady at about the same as
Saturday. Cash trade was fair but not so
good as last week.

TRAINING FOR THE WORK.
Suggestions 10 Census Enumerators
From Director Merriam.

In an interview yesterday William
r. Merriam, Director of the Census, said in
reference to the appointment of enumera-
tors:
"our next great undertaking any
branch Of a work which must reach every
nook and corner, farm and cabin of the
United States, is greats that of selecting
about $4,000 enumerators for taking the
Twelfth Census. We are trying strenu-
ously TO prepare for a complete and per-
feet Census. The burden of the work of
gathering the materials for ii, however,
Will fall on the enumerators.
In any line of private business pre-
liminary training or apprenticeship is re-
quired Of those who are engaged to conduct
its details. Lawyers and doctors study
before they practice their professions and
mechanics are required to serve a thorough
apprenticeship before they receive journey
mems work or wages. So, in my view
those who desire to be appointed Census
enumerators should take up the study of
Census laws, schedules, and statistics, thus
familiarizing themselves, as far as possible
with the details OF the work. In this way
they will be prepared, on the 1st of June
next, like a great and well-drilled army, to
begin their labors understandingly and
harmoniously from ocean to ocean, without
requiring, after that day, any further or
ders or Instructions
While / shall not undertake to appoint
enumerators without fully consulting with
the proper Census supervisor in order to
learn the experience and qualifications of
applicants, / would like TO suggest that all
candidates take the course have indicated

There was something very like panic in
Wall Street yesterday over the fear of a
bad break in the prices of stocks The
very poor showing of the New York banks
last Saturday, a sharp stiffening of rates
for call loans yesterday, a quickly ac-
quired conservatism on the part of the
banks regarding the value of industrial
stocks as collateral, visit of ]. p. Morgan
to Secretary Gage at the Treasury De-
partment early, and interviews with Sec
retary Gage in which he is alleged 10 have
intimated that he would not use the Gov
ernment money and credit TO lack up the
prices OF stocks, all combined to throw
spectators and brokers into a fever of
uneasiness. Prices declined all over the
list and in some cases at times the bottom
seemed 10 be tumbling out" The indus
trial securities especially were weak and
some of them lost three and four points.
There was some rally around o'clock but
before the close the break began again and
the last sales were near the lowest prices
of the day in the majority of stocks.
The part that Washington took in the
play was important and interesting, even il
later developments seem to cast a grave
suspicion on the verify of the information
that Washington sent to New York. Mr..
Morgan called on Secretary Gage early in
the day and Immediately the fact was tele-
graphed to New York over many wires
There was a revival in prices on the ex-
change and the bulls We're confident that
he was fixing up scheme for the Treasury
to pour it's funds into Wall Street In a
few minutes he left Mr.. Gage and on his
way out of the Seeretary's room met half
dozen brokers' representatives who wish

had resulted in. The remarks of the Sec
retary TO these news gatherers furnished
the material for many and various stories
for the gossip sheets in the brokers Off
ces. Mr.. Morgan did not see the Secre-
i tary regarding the financial situation. He
wished TO secure the Government aid in
another matter entirely. the protection OF
the yachts in the coming international race
in fact. So much is known. AS to the
further remarks of the Secretary there is
still much doubt. One version Of his wosds

anything to help the New York banks. I
believe there is no good reason for such
a step. do not consider it a part of the
Governments business to jack up the
stock market. If money gets so tight that
it will endanger the legitimate business
interests of the country the Government
may little later anticipate the October
interest payments, but this will not amount
to much anyway"
This, it will be seen, is an extremely
pessimistic utterance as far as it relates
the Secretary's remarks was to the effect
that " does not believe the present con-
dition of the New York banks such as to
require any aid from the Treasury, but that
if later developments show that business
will suffer from tight money I'M New York
he will do anything that he can to help
the situation. Mr. Gage isekne%n rot to
be disposed to take any action in the mat
ter as yet however. Whether he does not
consider such action necessary cannot be
stated.
Money at one time during the day was
as high as s 1-2 bid for call loans, and it
ruled at per cent and above all day. 1t
is out of the question to predict what Will
be the action of the market today. Many
brokers are of the opinion that prices are
now near the bottom if, indeed yesterday
low prices were not the lowest that Will
be reached 1t is said that there was ex-
ceI,ent buying of st. Paul and other stand
ard securities on the break, and that for
the amount of stock that came aout they
declined very little. This, it Is argued.
shows that the insiders did not sell stocks
but only the newly interested public 1t
is feared by many that the movement of
funds to the interior must continue during
the autumn which would mean that money
will be much scarcer in New York before
1t is more plentiful, and that rates will
be higher. The hope of conservative
brokers and financial men is that gold
can be drawn from Europe If the situation
becomes acute, as the balance in favor of
this country is very large. The DISPOSE
tion of careful people will be to buy stocks
on any further declines today if only for
a turn.
