SECRETARY LANE OF INTERIOR

DEPARTMENT SAYS HE WILL

SEE WHO'S AT FAULT,

[MICE ARA Of LAND NOT NOW TAXEDGovernment Fails to Examine Lands,Causing Long Delays In Issuing, Patents-Nearly 3,000,000

Acrea Involved,

Secretary Lane of the department ofthe interior announces that he is goingto determine where the fault lies forthe nonpayment of taxes on a largearea of land contained in grants to theNorthern Pacific railroad companyand lying in the northern tier of states.Thomas Cooper, land commissioner

of the Northern Pacific, says that thefault lies with the interior departmentand results from the delay of the de-partment inexaminIng these lands andissuing patents.Mr. Cooper submitted to Secretary

Lane an elaborate statement showingthat there are 2,763,224 acres of thecompany, land grant ready for theissuance of patents. These lands liein the following states: Oregon. 2640acres; Washington, 295,345 acres; Ida-ho, 86,842 acres; Montana, 2,220,177acres; Wyoming, 9040 acres; NorthDakota, 47,148 acres; Minnesota, 14,-636 acres; Wisconsin, 2540 acres; to-tal, 2,753,224 acres.

Issues Patents Slowly.

Mr. Cooper said that in the 20months from July 1, 1911, to March31, 1913, there had been patented tothe railroad company only 70,000 acres,at which rate it would be 66 years be-fore patents would be issued to the2,760,000 acres now ready for patent;also, in addition to the 2,750,000 acres,the company estimated that at least1,000,000 acres now surveyed Would beready for patent within a year.

Retards Development,According to Mr. Cooper this delay

retards the settlement and development of the country, because the un-certainty of the title prevents the rail-road from disposing of It. lands.As the company is not required to

pay taxes upon indemnity lands untilpatent is Issued. it is escaping pay:went hi 1,195,735 acres of indemnitylands, the annual tax on which, it isestimated, would amount to from $100,-000 to $150,000.Lends within the place limits, being

taxable from time of survey, the com-pany, to protect Itself, is obliged topay taxes on 1,557,489 acres of placelands, to some of which It may neverreceive title.

Banks Make GIflh in Cash--WheatCrop Reperferows Great

Prelmise.

The Financier aye:Following the 1112Z01111 statement of

April 12 the New Fork clearing housebanks made an eitheptIonally favorableexhibit for the week ended April 19.It had been estimated that the bankshad gained during the last sig. dayssomething like $6,000,000 as a resultof the interior movement, but thestatement Saturday showed an in-crease In cash of only 4173,000.However, since leans decreased 610,-780,000 and net Mignalta fell $6,588,000,thus lessening reemys requirements,the week's operalifilins resulted in anexpansion of $601,400 ID reserves,bringing the priment surplus abovethe 25 per cent 'nobelium to $19,085,-850, or about on &level with the sur-plus for the sates period one yearago.Money continued Co now ta New

York, and with the lowering of theBank of England rates this week theoutlook is that the banks for the timebeing face a position where the sup-ply of funds will outrun the demand.

• • •Dun's review says.While the principal industries and

trade are still expertencing someabatement of activity as a result ofthe recent .floods In the west and theconservatism produced by the pendingtariff readjustment there is apparent-ly no fundamental or permanentchange in the situation. The reductionin the sank of Magiand rate of dis-count to 4% per cent, the financialimprovement in Germany and the easi-er tendency of nioney In our ownmarkets are among the most favorabledevelopments of the week.These factors ascount for the feel-

ing of confidence which generally Pre-vails In mercanUlp circles in spite ofthe reduction in darrent consumptivedemands. This reaction reveals itselfin the statistics of bank exchanges,the volume of which this week docreased 9.1 per (Sent from last year,though the total was 22.3 per centhigher than in lap Railroad / grossearnings declined-11.3 per cent In thefirst week of Aprfl,, due mainly to thereduced traffic ot the Southern andother roads affected by the floods.The steel trade bac not yet fully re-

covered from the effects of the flooddisaster and the declining price tend-ency in pig iron lemurs prononaced.Copper Is firmer. In the dry goods

trade purchases for current needs arelarge, but there is little anticipationof future requirements.

Foreign commerce maintains not solarge proportions and at the Oft ofNew York In the latest week sure-gates $40,088,227, against $39,554,445 in11112, and $28,192,099 in 1911.Failures this week in the United

Bradstreet's says: Better weather,excellent wheat crop reports, renewedactivity by farniers, resumption ofoperations In the flooded districts ofthe Central West and • more reassur-ing outlook in the lower Mississippivalley are the leading favorable feat-ures of the week. Over against thismust be set the increased prominenceof tariff discussion, particularly as re-garde the textile Indliatties in the east-ern states, and the oontinuance of adegree of stringency in the money

moirkeldiinees of 'Op-tug both at home and abroad. Onbalance the situation presents a fairlyfavorable position because of displace-ment of cold, wet weather by sunshineand warmth has made for more activeretail trade at most points. Jobbingtrade for Immediate spring and sum-mer months is still fairly active, andthe arrival of seasonable weathermakes for enlargement of activities ina myriad of lines connected with pmduction and consumption. Even inlines supposed likely to be vitally af-fected by tariff changes the feeling Isthat It is best to have the matter overand done with, and there is rather leesthan the suet fear of foreign dumpingIn domestic markets, partly because ofactive trade In Europe.The stock market sentiment Is un-

aeUled by the developments In the in-vestment situation. The offering of anissue of 4% per cent St Paul railwaybonds at below par and the merelypartial filling of the subscription aredeemed indicative of the restricted de-mand for such securities.Business failures for the week end-

ing April 17 were 1190, which comparewith 250 In the like week of 1912.There were 21 failures In Canada.Wheat. Including lour, exports from

IMPORTATION OF CATTLEINCREASING EACH YEAR

Statistics Show That During Past MxYears Number of Cattle Decreased

16 Million in United Stets*.The decrease in the meat supply

available for exportaUon Is sharplyillustrated by the February exportMoires just compiled by the statisU-cal division of the bureau of foreignand domestic commerce. They showtile number of cattle exported in theeight mouth* ended with February,1o13, but 12,656 head against 270,919head lu the corresponding months of11107, and the quantity of fresh beefexported but 4,709,047 pounds, against175,506,642 pounds in the correspond'lug months of 11/07. That this short-age In the exportation Is due, 111 partat least, to an actual reduction in theuumber of cattle in the United StatesIs evidenced by the fact that the to-tal number of cattle on farms, accord-ing to figures of the department ofagriculture, was on January 1, 1913.but 56,527,000, against 72,534,000 OnJanuary 1, 1907.

Still another evidence of the de-mand in the United States for an in-crease in Its cattle supply Is found Inthe figures of the Department of COM-merae, which show an enormous in-crease in the hnportation of cattle,the number importation of cattle, thenumber imported Into the UnitedStates in the eight months ended withFebruary, 1933, being 222,000 head.against 12,500 head in the correspond-ing month, of 1907. Thus, while thenumber of cattle on Noma bas fallenfrom 72,500,000 to 56,500.0Q0 in thesix-year period In question, the num-ber exported has fallen from 370,000head to 13,000, the quantity of freshbeef exported has fallen from 176.-000,00 pounds to 4,750,000 pounds andthe number of catUe imported has in-creased from 12,500 head to 123,000head, all of these figures of importsand exports being for the eightmonths' period ended with Februaryof the years named.The table which (oleic., shows, for
