well as the banks for the present stale uf
affairs in the business of the city. 1t is

per centum, While in the cities east OF US
it is loaned at two to !our per cent. Tnu
principle acted Oh here is, 's'rae slow
shilling then the nlmble sixpence." Oar
business men deposit with the banks and
receive no interest, Yet should they de-
sire to borrow, ten per cent. is deInant-
ed from the same depositors. Would it

ing the rate GU loans and make their
money more active rather than have it
lay idle or loan it to others-outsi lers-
at low rate OF interest? Let it he triet.
