Iowa were made known in 1891. The showing 

 of mortgage indebtedness in five States is exhib- 

 ited in the accompanying table. Figures for 

 Nebraska have also been announced. The real 

 estate mortgage business of Nebraska during the 

 10 years 1880-1889 is represented by 887,872 

 mortgages made to secure a debt of $274,808,- 

 :r>s. Of this debt 48.44 per cent, remained un- 

 paid January 1, 1890. Nearly one-third (81.90 

 per cent.) 01 the existing debt is on village and 

 city lots, and the principal portion of this is in 

 the counties of Douglas and Lancaster, contain- 

 ing, respectively, the cities of Omaha and Lin- 

 coln. In Douglas county the existing debt is 

 $27,064,041, of which 87.60 per cent, is on lots, 

 In Lancaster county the existing debt is $9,172,- 

 266, of which 64.97 per cent, is on lots. 



of tin- unrigged. The value of the unrigged was 

 estimated at $8,472,500, that of the sailing ves- 

 sels at $4,275.650, that of the steamers at $41.- 

 193,324, and that of the entire fleet at $48,941,- 

 474. The freight movement of the mercantile 

 fleet reached 53,424,432 tons, of which amount 

 the steamers carried 20,181,483 tons, the sailing 

 vessels 19,302,949 tons, and the unrigged 13,- 

 940,000 tons. The wages paid during 1889 

 amounted to $5,322,799, of which amount $3,- 

 891,601 formed part of the expense account of 

 the steamers and $1.431,198 was an item in the 

 expense account of the sailing vessels. 



The fleet operating on the rivers of the Missis- 

 sippi Valley division numbered 7,453, 6,339 be- 

 ing unrigged and 1,114 being steamers, the 

 peculiarities of the constitution of this fleet (the 

 reason, however, is patent) being the entire 

 absence of sailing vessels and the preponder- 

 ance of unrigged or towed craft. The tonnage, 

 for instance, of the entire fleet amounted to 

 ::80 tons, of which amount the unrigged 

 figures up to 8,182,608 tons. In the disposition 

 of values, however, there is a shifting of this 

 preponderance, the steamer value being $10,539,- 

 251, while that of the unrigged is $4,795.754. 

 The freight movement for the year was 29,405,- 

 (>H; tons, divided as follows: 10,345,504 tons 

 carried on the steamers and 19,059,542 tons 

 towed on the unrigged. As there are no sailing 

 vessels in operation on the rivers of the Missis- 

 sippi Valley, and as the wage account of the 

 unrigged is included in that of the steamers, 

 there is no division of items, the number of em- 

 ploy6s making up the ordinary crews of the 

 valley fleet being 1.">.996, and the amount paid 

 in wages being $5,338,862. 



Farms. Homos, and Mortgages. Several 

 State reports have been prepared and published 

 since i he preliminary returns from Alabama and

Insurance. Several extra Census bulletins 

 have been issued giving results in detail of an 

 exhaustive inquiry into the condition of the in- 

 surance business of the United States, but a 

 summary of verified totals has not yet been is- 

 sued.
