TWELFTH CENSUS.
Oatl aa BwQalramsBts ef th f 0,000
Xnamraor roar chdal
lattead f Tn.
In the census building a great room
ia now the scene of bustling activity,
the work of preparing portfolios for
use by enumerators in tbe coming
count of the population being fairly
under way. These portfolios, oi whit
ish-brown pasteboard, hinged together
with black cloth, are 18 inohes long
and 10 wide and tied with four seta of
tape. The tape used is not that "red
tape" which to th ordinary mind sig
nifies circumlocution and delay. The
law requires speed in the census of
1900 and common every day white cot
ton tape will fasten the schedule-filled
portfolios in their round from habita
tion to habitation. For convenient, ac
curate and rapid enumeration the Uni
ted States has been divided into 800
supervisors' districts, and these in tarn
into about 00,000 enumeration dia
triota, or E. D.'s, as they are called in
the census office. Each ot the 50,000
enumerators is yet to be appointed, so
on the portfolios a blank spaoe is left
for hi nam.
Th last census found the unhappy
enumerator loaded down with from 10
to 13 schedules, each having volumin
ous instructions, to master which re
quired considerable mental ability and
power of- memory.- That census waa
taken under a law which required enu
merators to ask many obnoxious ques
tions. The census act of 1900 happily
for all doe not require these disagree
able queries.
Four schedules, not 10, cover enu
merator's inquiries in 1900; schedules
requiring information about popula
tion, vital statistics, manufactures and
agriculture. In cities the enumerator
will seldom need the agricultural, or
in the rural districts the manufacturing
schedule, so he will infrequently carry
more than three.
A general realization by American
cltisena of their personal interest in a
successful prosecution of the canvass
by this white-tape army should arouse
sentiments of local interest and pride
in each enumeration district citisen
would concern themselves about tht
election of their registrar and local
arbiter.
The white-tape army should be made-
op of man of a high standard. They
should be quick, competent, courteous,
tactful and truthful.

BRADSTREETS REPORT.
thmaral Vrad Dlatrthttttaa Baa Shown
TnaBey to Sanaa.
Bradstxeet't aayi:
Believed from the hampering effect
of stormy weather, general trade distri
bution ha shown a tendency to expand
this week, price ot many staples are
firmer and higher, and generally there
is a better tone than noted for some
week. Easily holding first rank in
th matter of speculative aotivity, cot
ton early in th week touched the high
est level, not only for the present sea
son, but for at least six year past.
Wool is rather weaker, following the
drop in prices at the London sale, and
the rather slower demand from Ameri
can manufacturers.
By another of the short swings which
have distinguished wheat prices for a
long time past, quotations have been
advanced this week to the level touched
some time ago. '
Boot and shoe manufacturer are
actively employed, and leather ia firm,
but hides are weaker or lower at most
markets.
Building materials are firm, except
at cities where labor trouble are ap
prehended.
The Industrial situation is rather
irregular, owing partly to the com
bined strike and lock-out ot 50,000
building bands, building material
workers and machinists at Chicago,
and partly to isolated strikes of small
numbers ot men throughout the
country.
Wheat, including flour, shipments
for the week aggregate 4,208,758 bush
els, against 3,883,887 bushel last
week, 4,398,821 bushels the corre
sponding week of 1899, and 4,844,781
bushels in 1898.
Business failures in the United States
for the week number 189, against 173
last week. 177 in this week a year ago,
247 in 1898, 827 in 1897 and 283 in
1898. -
