This c7uning'B PoGf, in it's Stock
article, referring to tho high rates of
interest demanded on loans secured
ey responsible mining stocks, claims
that this practice in local finance is
tho primo factor in tho present inac-
tive state Of the stock market, and
goes on to say that the present rates
for loans on stocks aro altogether too
high, and act as barrior to their
FREQ circulation. The people afford
the stock dealing community ovory
facility, and there will be no excuse
for a dull market. We congratulate
our readers that we nre informed on
good authority, that when the Trus.
tees OF the Novndn Bank mot to con.
slider their capital stock, PROPOSE
ton was made by one Of tho BonanzL
firm, that interest bo loaned fnr below
the present figures, in order to eivo
the public better chnncc 10 enter
tho stock market, and that the pr0po.
sition was favorably entertained by
tho Trustees. Although no fixed
rates hnro yot been agreed upon, IL is
probable that in 4 short time roduc-
tion will bo made. With tlioir i'm
monso paid mp capital Of SIC, 900, 900,
tho Nevada Bank will lHve moro than
