VERY Light
narshalltown's Mortality During
the Past Quarter Unprecedented
In History.
Only Thirteen Deaths Occurred in
the City in Three Months-A
Comparison.
All Arrangements Made For Big
Masonic Picnic on Wednesday
City News.


If any one should be at doubt whether
or not Marshalltown has been a health
fal place to reside they should consult
the records Of the city and study the
death rate for the past quarter, or even
the past six months. The doctors of the
city during the past few months have
continually stated that people are dis
tressingly healthful. and undertakers
are talking about the condition, owing
to its being so exceedingly unusual.
The burial permits in the charge of
City Clerk Trotter, upon examination by
a T.-R. reporter this morning, showed
that during the past quarter, or from
April Is to the present time, show that
but nineteen have been issued. OF these
three were for children OF premature
birth. three were for bodis shipped from
outside points and one was for the re-
mains of person dying outside of the
city but within the county. This makes
the actual death rate Of the city for a
little over three months to be twelve. or
an average of four month. One other.
however, should be added, as 1t is shown
by the records that one body was Ship
ped from Marshalltown for interment.
1t is safe to say, from these figures. that
the past three months have been the
heahhiest OF any like period in the his-
tory of the city, since the city has at
tained degree OF population compara-
BILE with the present even notwithstand-
ing the fact that in this time the small
pox siege has been in full blast.
C,Ompare with the same three months
OF last year. the mortality of the quar-
ter just closed is even more noticeable
for during the same three months OF
1899, the death rate was forty-two. OF al
most three times as large.

Upon an order issued by Mayor Pierce
all dealers in nrecrackers fireworks and

nance governing the same il they sold

tention OF Mayor Pierce last year to put
1t into effect, and altho the dealers were

Transactions.
1t has leaked out that during the
rapid advance in the wheat market last
week two Marshalltown men happened
to be on the winning side and secured
thru bucket shop transaction $3.50
each. Had the man had just little
more nerve each could have made
$1,000 more, but they were afraid of the
market and pulled out Friday morning.
Instead Of falling, however, as was
feared perhaps might be the case. the
market shot up from to cents.

BANK oF AUsTRIA-HUNGARY.

1t is pointed out by Mr.. Muhleman that the idIe
decrease in the notes of the Bank Of Russia IN 1881
was largely due TO the fact that the monetary re-
form plan. by making the gold imperial equal 10 10
rubes instead 10, reduced the liability TOT the
notes (then at discounD by one-thtrd' ana thdt
this and the subsequent large accumulatons OF gold
brought about the present favorable situation OF
the bank. In Austria, while there has been an III
crease of notes the ratio has been maintained says
the report above 30 per cent for three years. but
gold has not been paid out freely for notes. COM
pairing England with the United States, Mr. Muhe-
man says that the Bank of England regulates lts
own rate as we'll as that the rest of the financial
world by the relation between the cash and liaoi-
ties in its banking and not its note issue depart
ment. Thes New-York Associated Banks are also
required to consider their cash reserves against
their deposits. % per cent being that tacitly nxed
minimum and the cash being practically equal to
gold since the notes included therein are con-
vertible at once into gold at the Treasury.
These tables of the Bank of England, the New
York banks and the United States Treasury are
offered in support of this statement by Mr. Muhle-

THE WORLDS GOLD SUPPLY

Maurice L. Muhleman, Deputy Assistant United
States Treasurer in this city recently published a
table OF statistics showing the worlds supply Of
gold, as held by the leading banks of Europe and
the United States. He has supplemented this with
statements and figures showing the relation of
the gold reserves to those liabilities especially the
note issues. which constitute the most direct de-
mand upon the reserves
The appended table shows the specie reserves and
circulation of all the banks of issue in Europe
tthose of Spain and Italy excepted) on dates named
New-York tribune., 1900-01-29

The table shows that in the aggregate the gold
reserves stood at the end Of 1899 also in 1896 at
about 54 per cent: and that the gold and silver ~
gether stood at about Y per cent of the notes ou
standing Since several Of the banks are at liberty
to redeem their notes in silver the increased silver
holdings are not to be ignored 1t is said Interest
Is paruculary directed, says Mr.. Muhleman, to the
condition Of the principal banks and the effect upon
the worlds money markets. In the cases of the
Bank Of France and the Imperial Bank of Ger
many the relation of their gold reserves to the cir
culation is the index to the condition 1t is de-

From these figures Mr Muhleman deduces that
the sharp advance in the London discount rate at
the end of 1899 justified, but the only insutu-
ton in Europe that could spare gold was the Bank
of Russia, he says 1t is reported that the Bank
of GERMANY actually gained some twenty-three
millions from Russia soon after the close Of 1899
but the demands were naturally directed to this
