Is in favor OF the lender. The statement shows
that the banks are increasing their loans and

will not be long before the supply will be large
enough TO affect the market sensibly. Cali loans
are quoted 4@5 per cent, and commercial
paper 507 per cent The payments on account
of temporary loans, on the 27th instant, will
amount to f70, COO, 900, including interest. The

part OF the amounts, and loans to SPECTATORS
will be disturbed materially before the tempo
rary debt is paid Off, .stfJL ugtr6eb 20. I.
