CHICAGO FINDS MONEY
MARKET FIRM But SAFE

CHICAGO. Aug. 22.-The money
situation in Chicago continues firm,
and while the banks generally report
a calmness and a freedom from fl
nancial distress which is admirable.
the conditions are still such as to re-
quire care in handling. Rates for
loans over the counter remain at the
recently advanced figure of per
cent and the loan item with most of
the banks has been considerably en-
larged, while there has been some de-
crease in deposits.
only one change of any import
ance has been made in money rates
and that is in the case of renewals.
Where many OF the banks have been
extending at and 1-2 per cent
those figures have been dithdrawn
and Z per cent made the flat rate.
This change was brought about
through the country correspondents
of the big banks here. The former
had been asked by the banks here
not to call their loans at this time il
they possibly could avoid 1t. Country

OUR MERCHANT MARINE.

Statistically Americas merchant
marine is pitiful. The ways and the
wherefores for an adequate merchant
fleet have been and are being told in
the columns Of The Examiner; but
nothing shows it up so glaringly as
the numerical facts and comparisons.
OF the worlds merchant marine
tonnage the United States possesses
less than notwithstanding TO
a French statistican. 2,697,000 tons
out of a total of 10000. .OO0.
A fact to be remembered by those
apt to take the figures at their face
value is that most of the vessels un-
der American registry are engaged
solely in the coasting trade Then the
total of 1896 vessels owned in this
country. although second to Great
Britain, which leads with 1859 YES
sells, is seen in proper light
The hulwark of the American mer-
chant navy is in its sailing bottoms,
of which there are 2,994, with a net
tonnage of 1.2l5.O00: yet Russia
with S,412 such craft, and Great Brit
ain, with 4.945, outstrip America, al
though the net tonnage of these ships
is in both cases below ours.
But steam vessels are doing the
marine carriage work OF the globe

model factory system for, convicts
This plant going full blast today, is
not within the penitentiary walls. II
Is at little place called Goble, a
few miles from here. There 20 pris-
oners work six days a week making
brick. No guards stand by TO see
that they do not escape. They are
alone except for 10 skilled brick max
ers. all employed by the state, who
direct the work.
The men live In a big dormitory
built by themselves. They have a
baseball diamond nearby and a small
baseball league has been organized
among the 20 prisoners. They have
a band which furnishes concerts ev-
cry night. But their favorite diver
sion is the holding OF a mock trial.
They take delight In addressing the
jury and in giving ponderous Judi
cial" decisions.
The capacity Of the plant is 30.-
600 paving brick or $4,000 building
brick a day. Five more kilns are to
be built and more prisoners will be
sent TO work on the plant. The en-
tire output is used by the state. Ex-

cunts allowed the prisoners. consist

NAH county Jurge Cleeton upheld the

and its decision will be the law.
In view of the fact that for the

ley believes II would only complicate
matters for the county to exempt the

COMPLY
WITH RULE To GET
PORCH MAIL BOXES
Response to Postal Order for
Expediting Delivery Most
General South of Main
Across River.

The order to have letter boxes or
slots at the front door Of ever house
receiving mail made more of an i'm.
preston on the citizens of Richmond
than employees of the post office ex-
pected.
Since the announcement a month
ago that the order would be effective
in sixty days and failure to comply
then would mean a curtailment of de-
liveries, the post office has had sew
eral hundred calls over the telephone
and an unestimated number of person
al complaints, chiefly to carriers.
Many refuse to accept the statement
that the post office did not make the
order or even ask for it, but that it is
national ruling made by the depart
ment at Washington after long investi-
cations of the extra distance each car
rier must walk and the inconvenience
to which he is put by unsystematic
delivery.
In some parts of the city, especially
West Richmond, the citizens are COM
plying with the order. In other towns
there is little inclination to install
boxes or slots until the last day of
the period.
Main street and the southern part
of West Richmond has the best record.
In this district, out of 352 houses, 334
have complied with the rule. North
of Main street to Richmond avenue
in West Richmond is close second.
On this route 424 out Of 466 houses
are now fitted.
In Riverdale from Twelfth street
east, only 1863 out of 486 houses COM
ply.
In the east end north of Main from
Fifteenth to Eighteenth streets 391 out
of 457 houses have boxes or Slots

that Healing met Thomas Taggart and

American horses suitable for caval-

as they can be obtained for shipment
