CHEAP INTEREST.
New York Firm Offers to Loan $1o,-
100000 at 8 1-2 Per Cent.


New York,June 21-An offer of a large
brokerage firm to loan s1O,000000 on
New York real estate at 312 per cent
has established a new record for bond
and mortgage loans. The lowest rate OF
interest heretofore paid by borrowers,
even on Broadway property, has been
from 4 to 5 per cent, according to the
amount borrowed and the relative
amount of the mortgage to the value
of the property.
Many brokerage firms held that this
offer to loan $4,000 coo was an exception
and that borrowers in general would
have to continue to pay at least 4 per
cent. Other brokers said that in future
New York loans would rule at 49, per
cent when the amount borrowed did not
exceed 40 per cent of the value OF the
property. Controller Collier said:
Money is very cheap at present. The
city of New York is borrowing money
on revenue bonds at 3 per cent and there
are millions of money ready to be in
vested at this figure. The rate on real
estate loans may remain at S12 per cent
if the gIut of money continues in Wall
! street.
A. w. Mclaughlin. member of a re-
atty brokerage firm said:
With the large expectations of gold
| to Europe I cannot see how a rate of 31a
per cent can be maintained for any
| length of time"
The brokerage firm which announced
| that $10.000000 was in bank ready to
! loan IN amounts from S1OV,UUU, TO one
million at 315 per cent was besieged
| with prospective borrowers. 1t was ex-
planned to all customers that the money
had been placed in a fund by number
! of wealthy men and would be loaned
| only on the best security.
The rate charged for small loans OF
homes and unimproved property is gen
| orally per cent on first mortgages pro
| tected by guaranteed titles. The rate
for second mortgages is 51A to pei
cent. Many brokers said that thess
rates would be cut materially within {

SHIPMENTS TO CHINA.
Orders From New York to the Orient
Being Cancelled.

New York, June 21.-The shipments in
transit at the moment from this port to
China are not as large as they have
been in other years at this time. It is
stated by a prominent shipping firm
that to Hong Kong alone there is prob
ably af1oat some $125,O00 worth of gen
eral merchandise sent from this city
which is to be distributed from there.
While there has been no very general
cancellation of orders to be shipped to
treaty ports of China, it is believed,
however. that there will be a lull in
trade while the present conditions exist.
The check will affect principally all
kinds of manufactured products.

ANTIDOTE FOR BLACKLEG.
Scientists Have Recently Discovered
Preventive of the Dreaded
Disease In Cattle.

The most important recent achieve
ment by the bureau OF animal indus
try, says the Saturday Evening Post.
is the discovery and application of
prevention for that dreaded disease
of cattle known as blackleg. This
malady in some states Of the union
destroys more cattle than all other
causes combined; Texas, Kansas, Ne
barska, Colorado and the Dakotas suf-
fer very severely. In fact, over a
large part Of the beef-raising region
there is loss OF from ten 10 twenty
per cent. Of yearling stock annually
through this complaint. II appears
suddenly in the shape Of black swell
ing, usually on the hind quarters. and
is invariably fatal.
Having ascertained some time ago
that the disease was caused by bac-
terium, the bureau set to work to
prepare a vaccine which Is obtained
from animals that have died OF the
complaint. -Four years ago $4,000
doses of the stuff were sent out by
way Of experiment. and the results
obtained were so remarkable that $780,
600 doses were distributed in the
following year In response to re-
quests In the third year 100000
doses were given away, and in 1900
over 1000, GOO will be sent out.
How effective the vaccination Is as
a preventive of the malady may be
judged from the statement. as made
by cattlemen. that it reduced their
losses BY blackleg 20 less than one
half of one per cent The vaccine Is
furnished to infected ranges free of
charge, and anybody may obtain it
by addressing an application 70 DIR.

applications made out on regular
blanks, which may be gotten by any

HIS JUDGMENT WAS WRONG.
TrIbulatIons of a Hound That Tried
90 whip All the Dogs in the
NeIghbOrhOOd.

Sooner was waif or, more correct
ly speaking. "a soldier of fortune. No
one knew his antecedents. lie had
dragged himself into Hogarth's yard
one day, worn out and exhausted after
a long run on the trail of IA buck.
There was no telling how far he had
come, as fast hound will cover many
miles in a day, and keep IL up for
two or three days. But he had driven
the buck into the lake. and the Ho-
garth boys had killed 1t; therefore
they treated the dog well, and as he
liked the place he remained and be-
came one of the household, relates the
Chicago Chronicle.
The time Sooner discovered he had
fighting blood in his veins marked an
epoch in his life. lie overestimated
his ability, IL is true, and suffered in
consequence. A new settler moved
into that part of the country and es-
tablished himself about six or seven
miles from HogaTth's. Regarding the
size OF his family. he was far behind
Hogarth, but when II came TO dogs
IL was simply a walkaway. Several
breeds were represented in his coiec-
tion, but the 'yaller dog" predom-
mated.
Sooner undertook 10 clean out the
entire crowd alone and unaided. It
was something of an undertaking, and
he spent six out OF seven days in the
hospital while the war was on.
"He doesn't seem TO be much of q
fighter" l remarked to HoRaFth one
day when the subject was under dis
cussion.
"Oh, he kin fight all right" Hogarth
replied; its his Judgment what's
wrong. Sooner's a fust-rate fighter,
but he's a dern poor jedge Of dorgs."
He was game. though, and stuck at
II until he had conquered each one
OF the new dogs in turn. with the ex-
ception Of huge brindle bulldog.
With this dog he employed strategy.
He bowed down before him and ad-
dressed him with smooth words and
made friends with him. and then one
day he enticed him over 10 his own
home. and all the dogs there pitched
on the brindle bull and half killed
him. Sooner became more blsse than
ever after this achievement. II 80
plainly showed his superiority to all
the rest Of the dog creation.
This fighting trait was unusual In
a hound. for as rule they are peace
ably inclined. II served TO accentuate
the fact that Sooner was not like
ofher dogs.
