New York. April 2S.-Bradstreet
summary of the state of trade TO-DAY
says:
Trade. crop and industrial reports
alike are favorable, and the spring
season, which started a little late. Is
making up we'll for lost time. Gooa
weather has helped the farmers u
catch I'D with rather late planting
season and regain lost ground, retali
trade has been helped, jobbers report
continued liberal recorders to I'LL de-
pleted stocks, there is more doing IN
fall business, iron and steel are very
steady with more. confidence as to the
third and last quarters. Building Is
certainly active, beyond precedent TOT
this season. There is some improve
ment noted in collections, bank clear
ings are larger, money is easier, large
gold imports partly balancing heaVy
remittances to the Pacific coast, anc
railroad earnings reflect expansion ov-
or the best returns of preceding years
at this time.
Wheat, including flour, exports from
the United States and Canada for the
week ending April 26, are 2,149,6S4 pu
against 1,260,316 bus. this week last
wear. From July / to date the exports
are 111,5O1,3G1 blu. against 52,313,2O1

Chicago, April 2S.-Wheat today was
influenced by the comparatively steady
tone of the market at Liverpool. Where
prices failed to respond materially to
the weakness here yesterday, the pos
sibility of damage to fall sown crops
helped to steady prices. There was
some selling of May pit traders, but
offerings We're not large. July was in
fair demand, opened 1875 @79, and adj
vanced to 1914. Minneapolis, Duluth
and Chicago receipts We're 1913 cars.
Later in the session shorts became
active bidders and the market acquired
considerable strength, July advancing
to 79A @79S. The close was firm, July
up 5s@795s @79A.
Corn.
Unsettled weather induced moderate
purchase of corn by commission houses
and resulted in firm market. July
was 460D46B. Receipts were 256 cars.
The market was steady all day. July

DEED TO NTH POWER"
A. Van vaIkenbuhs, of LaPorte,
Bought Cedar Falls Property, at Tax
Sale, Bidding the vigintiIionth Part
of Property, Which Raises Interest
ing Legal Query.

Waterloo, April ga tax sale deed
to lot 3s5, in Pacific addition, Cedar
Falls, owned by Seward Highly. has
filed for record with the county re-
corder by A. Van Valkenbugh of La
Porte. who has sold the property for
taxes amounting to $11, at the sale
held in December, 1902 He bid the
vigintillionth part of the property, or
a part represented by the following
| figures:
/ 1000, 900, 600, 900 900 0OO, 600, 0OO, 900,
100000. 600, 100000 000, 600 600, 000,000 900
| 600. 600 900, 900, 600. 900, 0O0,0 900.
/ Hence, perpleXing question has
arisen: Can a deed to the nth pow
err of smallness, a fraction of infinity,
or even vigintillionth part of a tract
of real estate be considered by the
courts as cloud on the title.?" 1t
has never been tested in the courts,
but it may be some time and then
those who mount upward in the do
main of figures while bidding on prop
erty offered at tax sales will have
beacon IlSul 10 SuluS llIelI QOW II
the labyrinth of ciphers headed by a
figure. IL
While a deed may be secured for
any fractional part of parcel OF
ground sold for taxes, there is a diff
ference of opinion as to whether the
courts would consider such small
Fart of the ground cloud on the title.
In the case of the tax deed for the
Cedar Falls property it is stated that
the realty actually owned under the
description would be smaller than an
eighth of a square inch.
At the recent tax sale in this coun-
ty the county treasurer would not &C
cept a bid of one-infinity part. There
would be nothing tangible in this at
all, however, enthusiastically snall
observation-disclosures might be. lnflmty IS
the end of all things mathematical. 1t
is the imaginary limit of series or
dots. the sign of infinity. 1t is the
nth power Of nothingness.
Ordinary property sold for taxes Is
reclaimed. and the certainty of rec
lamation is proportionate to the IN
finitesimally small portion OF the par
eel of ground bid for.
