The only way to reduce taxation is to reduce

There is still little or no change in
monetary affairs in this city. Chi
cago and New York papers report
increased transactions in the local
business at their respective banks,
and the impression seems to be
gaining that business ventures may
be made with reasonable certainty
during the closing of spring and in
the early summer.
The New York money market is
very easy for fair and good borrow
ers. Call loans are easily negotiated
at 3@4 per cent, and good CONNER
cial paper is readily discounted by
the banks at 5@7.
The usual first of the month col
lections have caused considerable
increase in the amount of currency
held by the banks of this city,
though there is no appreciate
change in the local loan market.
The weather to-day has been de-
lightful, and trade at the wholesale
houses very fair.
We note no changes in prices.
