PUBLIC LEDGER OFPtoE,
MENPHIg, April .. 1919

The general aspect Of commercial
and financial affairs is unchanged. In
this market money is quiet aud easy,
with more than an ample supply for
the wants of trade. There is, in fact,
a glut of currency, and not a day
passes but numerous inquiries are
made for solvent and paying invest
ments. Commercial paper in scarce,
and finds ready takers among banks
and insurance companies ats per cent.
In the open market short time loans
may be easily secured by solvent Dor
rowers at 6 per cent.
In the Eastern cities the money
markets are stringent and fuctuating.
Every few days come reports of a new
twist or two on the financial crank.
Interest rates at Boston have advanced
to 53@6 per cent. between banks, and
an upward tendency is further indica-
ted, while at New York the situation
is unsteady. An urgent demand for
money to move goods Westward
and produce Eastward, heavy invest
ments in governments during the
midwinter season, and the recent bank
suspension and financial disturbance
at New York are in part assigned as
the influences that tend to keep the
financial position unsettled.
Exchange exhibits no huctuation.
Cotton bills on the East are taken by
all banks at / off if bearing no grace,
and 3 off for sight on points beyond
New York. New Orleans bills are
taken at ! off, and 3 to ) days sight at
s@$ discount. Checks on both New
York and New Orleans are sold at
par.
The market for stocks, bonds and
scrips are firm and tends upward, ex-
cept for those of an unproductive
character. County warrants are quoted
dull at about Soc, owing to there being
no tax-paying demand at present. The
tax-collector will take all that may be
rendered for county dues at their full
face value. He received over $4,000
in Jannary, some $4,000 in February,
aud a little less last month. Gas stock
was sold at SEC, and holders are re-
ported firm at 90; gas bonds last
sold at 92c; Mississippi and Ten
