HOUSTON MARKET REVIEW.
Especial to The Bryan Eagle. ]


Houston, Texas, April 19.-The rice
market has struck bouyant tone.
For the past two weeks there has
been a steady inquiry for choice ia.
pans, and this weekend the demand
was particularly strong. Last prices
for choice Japans were $2.50@2.90 per
barrel, basis I. o. b. Houston. Lower
and medium grades Of Japan are in
good supply and do not command the
premiums asked for choice lots. Clean
rice is narrow and easy.
With the appearance of dewberries
on Produce Row, the price of straw
berries slumped. Dewberries made
their first appearance during the week
and commanded $400@5.O0 per crate,
strawberries taking the decline to
$2.5O@9.50. The potato market con-
tinues high and the stocks in the
North are rapidly diminishing, which
guarantees no reduction in price until
the brunt of the new crop begins to
move in May.
In every department OF the market
during the week there was a tendency
to curb the activity on account OF the
approach of the triple holiday, Friday
Saturday and Sunday. Especially was
this significant in the cotton market
where shorts were not disposed to
carry their commitments over the hol'
lidays. This situation, combined with
favorable cables, good English spot
sales and prospects for very bullish
week in the wake of the triple holiday
served to buoy trading and robbed the
market of the threatening lethargy.
The reason for the strength OF cot
ton futures, and especially in the de
mand for the new crop months, was
easily seen in the continued unsettled
weather in the South. Fluctuations In
the active months were over narrow
range.
In the grocery department business
was light, more of breathing spell
than a business depression. Price
changes during the past fortnight have
been very few and far between. and
the ultimate consumer has not felt the
difference.
A brisk resumption in every line Is
anticipated following the triple Easter
holiday.
Bank clearings for the week II

were $24,475,53S.

Rlackhird DAYS.

Jan. 80 and 81 and Feb. / are famous
at Constantinople Brescia and along
the Danube and the Rhine as the
"blackbird days" curious legend
SAYS that originally all species of crack
les (blackbirds, were white and that
they became black because during one
year in the middle ages the three days
mentioned above were so cold that all
the birds in Europe took refuge in the
chfmneys. At Brescia the three days
are celebrated with a feast called u
giorni della merla," or 1.-The feast OF
the transformation Of the bird"

South, and these are filling part Oh

LEY has enough sheep and lambs left
to run two weeks, and by that time

no relief in sight. Spring lambs bring
$5.50@6.50, considerably less than be-
fore Easter prices.

TO
Change Law
ON TAXATION
OF MORTGAGES

For years the problem presented
by the attempt to equitably tax
mortgages in Nevada, has been a
puzzler for the legislators and baffl-
ing to the assessors and collectors
of taxes, but at this session of the
legislature, Assemblyman Jones of
Washoe county has an act drafted
which Is designed to solve the
difficulty and promises to afford a
common seuce avenue of relief, says
the Reno Journal
Te law proposed is one which is
designed to actual, succeed in tax
ing the holder of a mortgage and
at the SANE tine tax the equita ',ie
owner of the subject matter of the
mortgage, the land for the value of
the land less amour of tthe mort
gage. In other words the land own
er will not be required to pay more
than he really owes as his share of
the taxes.
Under the present law, there are
many difficulties. The law ostensi-
bly, is one for the taxation of mort
cages, and 1t does taz mortgages
where the holder of the mortgage
resides in this state, but when thee
resides in this state, but when the
holder resides outside the state, he
Is not compelled to pay tax. The
trouble Is that after the mortgage
Is taxed the man who carries the
burden is still required to pay taxes
on the assessed value of the land
Just the same ~ II he had no mort
gage to pay. In addition to this in
practice 1t Is almost universally the
custom that the man who borrows
money. and gives mortgage on his
land, Is forced by necessity to agree
to pay the taxes on the land and to
pay the taxes on the mortgage.
This latter of course Is matter of
private agreement which cannot be
interfered With, hut the condition
can be changed so that the burden
will not fall so heavily.
