MULES-Only moderate supply of fresh
mules came in Monday. but the market last
week did not close as good as 1t might and
three or -FOUR loads wero carried over. All
offerings combined made up IL pretty respect
able supply. The opening was slow and the
market was not surrounded by very salts
factory conditions. Dealers sold very few
mules the latter part Of last week and had
good supplies in hand when the week closed.
The opening this morning revealed the fact
that the Southern demand was very small, and
dealers nlade little effort to secure any of the
mules in hands OF commission firms. Some bids
were made, but they were low as to not DO
regarded seriously. and few transactions were
closed. The demand must improve. or q lower
market is imminent.

MARCONTS TRIUMPH.

So gradually has the possibility of
wireless telegraphy been made known
to the world that the public generally
viii miss the tremendous significance
Of the announcement now made at Hal
flax. To appreciate it better one has
only to consider that but a very few
years ago biography without wires
was looked upon as something well out
of the range of possible attainment
Even after its practicabiIity for short
distances had been demonstrated the
idea of sending messages across the
Atlantic without wires was regarded as
the dream Of visionary enthusiast
Marconi. it appears, hxs succeeded not
only in sending messages across the
ocean, but in demonstrating beyond all
reasonable doubt that this may be
made a regular method o: commune
cation for practical purposes.
The achievement appeals to the i'm
agination not alone as another instance
of mans conquest of material forces,
but as bringing a new factor into play
in the social and political life of the
world. Like the telegraph, the tele-
phone, and the cable the wireless sys-

The Enemies of the Present land
System in England.

London. January 1O.-(Special Cor
respondence of The RepubIican0-It
IS hard for Americans to under
stand the evils Of the present
land system which prevails in
England. recent case furnishes
so striking an object lesson that I pro-
pose citing it as a complete Illustration.
A farm on the estate of the LangdaIe
FAMILY, Of HoughtOn Hall. Yorkshire.
mas been held for thirty three years bv
a MI kempley. Since 1899 MIR. KemD-
~ has been farming 412 acres at a rent
or 81, 45O year. His lease expires at
christmas, and it was proposed by the
landlord to take from the farm seven
ty-four acres and reduce the rent .
Sl'joO. Now, 4l2 acres at $I,45O repre-
sents a rent of 1925 per acre while 32S
acres at $3.50 would ne 81 an acre. In
other words. Mr.. Kempley's rent was to
be raised about IA per cent. and to a
Inquire which has been reached by agri
cultural land in the neighborhood since
tRe early seventies, before rents began
to fall. To make the matter worse.
Mr. Kemply contends that the seventy
four acres taken from the farm were
the most valuable land upon it. Mr.
kemply offered 81 $50. but after he had
been waiting for an answer from July
TO November. his offer was declined.
rms case furnishes a striking object
lesson of the evils of the present land
system. During the thirty-three years
mat he has been on this farm Mr.
henply has spent, according to his own
calculation, $l4,4S0 on improvements.
and he states that his return for the
whole period hardly represents a de-
cent rate of interest. on that money

when 1t was proposed to take from

rent, was 4 piece of land which he had
